Comment on The Ibanez RG5EX1 Electric Guitar Review by Bill Laigaie

Just picked up the RG5EX1last night. Played a few different, more expensive models while I was there and found myself going back to the RG5EX1. I loved the smooth feel of the neck. I thought the white binding around the neck was a nice enhancement too.I picked up the flat black model. With the dark color, the almost black sharktooth inlays on the fretboard & the pewter colored hardware, it has a really goth look to it. I tried this model on a little Marshall practice amp. No Fx pedals, straight through the amp. The pick ups had such a hot sound to them. I couldn’t believe they were just stock pick ups. The guitar tech did a pretty descent job setting up the action, but I think I can do a little tinkering with it to make it lower. This model may not be one of their most expensive guitars, but with the right set up, it plays great. The guys @ Guitar Center in Cherry Hill N.J., gave me a great deal on this guitar. I got it for $349.00, before taxes. I forgot to mention that this is a new guitar, not used. They even gave me a great price on a gig bag too. That’s why I keep going back to those guys, they’re the best!

I like your review. I myself just bought this same guitar and love the feel and the action, I feel the pick ups are a bit high but the over all sound is great. I am having one problem? I can not get it to stay in tune. I changed out the strings to Ernie Ball 9’s as suggested and can still not get it to tune up. The trem is ballanced with the body and I get it in tune then lock it down and the notes are droping, I then fine yune it but with every string fine tuned it is pulling the others out. Any advise for this problem? I have a realy good friend that has an 80’s model with a Floyd Rose and he was amazed with this piece, he checked it out and is stumped also with why this is not staying in tune. With his he tunes it locks it down and can leave it for an amount of time unplayed and it is still in tune. We are both stumped as to how to get this to stay so I can play. Sorry about the questions but your reveiw was great and thought you may have went thru this at one point.

I used to have one of these – except mine was a 1951 OOO18E, which had a built in pick up. I can’t believe I sold it way back in 1978…it makes me want to cry, but hey I was around 20 years old and wanted a classic dreadnought. So I bought an HD28 (which I still have, and will NEVER sell)…!

I have an identical model. 5-18, serial 171914. It was my great uncles and was passed down to me. I do not play and I am considering selling it. Feel free to email me if interested. RCSpider@yahoo.com. It is all original with hard case.

Terence, Thanks for the comment. Yeah, it’s a pretty cool little instrument, I have played it when I’m in the same town as it is in, and it just gets better with age. Respectfully, Nicholas
