Ibanez RG760

[dogueboy]

Can you guys tell what you think of this model. I have a line on one. I will be going to look at in the next couple of days. I was thinking about the RG550 but this one came up.

Thanks

the 760 was a more expensive model to the 550...slightly thicker neck but a great guitar...d.m.

Both have Wizard necks. The 760 is exactly the same as the 770 except for the HSH and pickguard (on the DX model). It has better stock pups (F's) than the 550's (V's) depending on the year.

I dig my 770 but my 550 is faster. Either way the 760 is definitely a winner and very fast. You won't be disappointed.

Great guitar...don't hesitate if you like it and the price is right.

Great guitar. Def a keeper, consider they can be had for ~$400.

Heres mine:

The one I was looking at was Blue it is a USA model. He is asking $700 for it. Can you really get the USA model for around $400 if so I will keep looking. I played it last night and really liked it.

Are you sure its a RG760 then? The only US made RGs that I can think of from that era were the USRGs with the PBC necks, and the "USA Custom" models that were made from Japanesse parts. Those had graphics on them and look very close to the regular RGs..........

Look at the neck plate and see if it says Made in Japan or has a Bensalem, PA tag.

Only the USRG's were US made and most of them had graphics. All 5xx, and 7xx are/were MIJ. Which is not a bad thing either.

$700 is too much. Even for mint. I got a mint 770 for $500.

It has the Bensalem, PA tag.

So does my RG770DX, but it has a FGG serial number which makes it Japanese.......

The Bensalem, PA plate is as confusing to some as the Ft. Worth, TX plate.

Doesn't mean it was made in the USA. If it's a 760, it's MIJ. A very, very few Ibanez outside the LA Custom Shop were made in the US.

My bad, my 770 has a PA plate too. Pointless reference. They were MIJ and assembled in the US.

If you're serial starts with an F (on the back of the neck.) it's made in the Fuji factory in Japan.

Talk him down to $450-$500 cash. I wouldn't go more than that.

Hey,

Like everyone has already mentioned, it's not made in the US.

If you're referring to the blue 760, thats been pooping up on craigslist and Kijiji for the past year. The guy is full of shit. He was asking a grand for it at some time.

I wouldn't even bother ......

I have seen that one. But that was not the one I am talking about. That one is the guitar that has the damage to the Tone nob area. It has been for sale for awhile. I am new to Ibanez so I do not know them like Jackson/ Charvel. So i guess i will keep looking. He was pretty firm on his price.

If you're looking for shred type Ibby's that are cheaper (under $700), any of these kick ass:
old Roadstar series
RG5xx (24 frets) 550,560,565,570 even a 470
RG7xx (24 frets) 750,760,770
S (Sabre), Gambale (22 frets) 540 2540, 100-400

more expensive ($700(shit condition)-$2000+)
PGM (Paul Gilbert models 24 frets)
JPM (Petrucci models)
RG Prestige 15xx, 2xxx
J Custom

ridiculously expensive
