More frets mean I can miss more notes. Love it.

[@dossdn]

🤣

[@mikemorrisonmusic]

“XH, which stands for…two letters.” 😂😂😂😂 Never change!

[@Fistful0fSteel]

A Sustainiac would have made a lot of sense for longer sustain in those high frets!

[@PooNinja]

🤘🏽sustainiac

[@mg_williams]

Decades ago when I had more hair and weight less kilograms than now I remembered there was a Washburn (EC36) with 36 frets!!! Yes that was amazeballs!!

[@cortarelva]

Someone once asked Nuno Bettencourt why his signature guitar only had 22 frets. His response was something like "I have enough trouble playing with 22 frets I don't need 24". I on the other hand need many many frets! Compensation maybe? who knows who cares That is one beautiful guitar indeed.

[@minstrel9806]

Technically having more frets doesn't mean necessarily you need to use all of them, but makes it easier to reach the other ones. For example you would have an easier time playing the 22nd fret on a 24 fret guitar rather than a 22 one.

[@biohazard8295]

I think it's more of a visual quirk. Don't know if they are usable at all, but maybe some new guitar players will show us how to use them. After all who thought that the stuff they do with 8strings was possible either 😂

[@HaydenMcCarry]

The only guitar I had my eye on from the launch of their new range! And in the colour i was after! Loving it man, thanks for the awesome demo.

[@bateriasautosil]

Love your reviews dude!

[@hyper-cat]

I always love your commitment to locking tuners. Blessed be thy tentacle and tuner!

[@EytschPi42]

Blessed!

[@GuitarGearGyan]

Henning just unlocked the secret to the 🤘 sign........ banana compartment and aliens, a squiggly guiggly man's dream...... damn, this was a killer fun episode.

[@stringedaz]

I don't play shredder stuff at all, but I want this guitar. EVIL riffs, man. Cool demo.

[@kloudtunes]

Great guitar, great review. Thanks. Ever heard of the Ibanez RG550XH. In case you need a couple more frets…😊

[@donkarnage6032]

I agree. The choices Ibanez makes regarding which features go on which range of guitar is puzzling. I've got a RG7PCM(30th anniversary RG) that got all the bells and whistles except for the nicer Edge tremolo. Meanwhile, the Prestige line gets the nicer Edge tremolo without all the bells and whistles like stainless steel frets, glow in the dark fret markers, locking tuners, the convenient truss rod cover, etc. Even the J. Custom line doesn't get all the features like stainless frets and locking tuners.

[@moverofobjects]

Literally the only clothing choice you could possibly make with a guitar that brilliant white. love the ensemble ya got going on.

[@brownie8090]

8:20 perfect short and sweet summary for this review, and absolutely hilarious

[@jeremypgiles]

That intro jam/noodle was very cool

[@vasotoe]

Beautiful and White AF Ibanezezezezez. Lovely noodle track too! Best way to start the week in Ibanezland 🤗

[@TheSpineSplitter1990]

Sweet looking Ibanez, my Caparison Horus has 27 frets, don't really need them but it's fun to use when ever you want to.

[@GuitarAnthony]

27 frets are fine. Love Hamer Californians with the slanted fretboard and boomerang inlays. Now... those old 36 fret Washburns were crazy!

[@prestige35able]

Noice playing!

[@DanielBobke]

Absolutely agree on locking tuners. The tuning stability argument is limited - they really don't do much for tuning stability. However, the fact that they make string changes so easy is their real value.

[@user-ey8kk1zt3z]

Thanks for the nice review.. I wonder what Uli John Roth would say about this 27 frets guitar ?

[@adamburger858]

I've had a 27 fret guitar for a few years now, and I love it. But I've been waiting for a company to put out a legit, non-pointy 27, that is a little more solid than the one I have. This Ibanez does look nice though lol It is very tempting, and u seem to like it..hah - Thanks for the video brodda!

[@mlentwojt]

Hamer Californian Elite? Looking for that one...

[@BellaPlaysMC101]

You may not be able to use those notes but the more frets help you access the higher frets you play easier.

[@pascallacabe]

Hi guys ! , personaly i prefer the Ibanez RG 1070 PBZ Premium ... but nice guitar ! Thanks for your vidéos !

[@brandonklemets2958]

Love my Ormsby with 29 frets. Only went above the 24th a single time, by accident too. Looks cool though!

[@FringeSpectre]

It's an Ormsby. The thing could have 10 frets and look dope AND I'd buy it lol.

[@brunorecchia]

The extra frets is for Uli Jon Roth things ❤

[@gamjammallota78]

All high-end guitars [ and even mid-range] should come with lockers[tuners]. I put them on my Schecter Reaper FRS because setting up a Floyd or Edge bridge correctly and keeping it like that is enough hassle. Don't need extra hassle changing strings. The HipShot lockers are my favorite and the round knurled tuning buttons are much easier and smoother. They don't get in the way of each other while tuning either. I even put them on my Ibanez RGA42FML-BLF fixed bridge. Hopefully they become standard on most guitars in the near future. The Ibanez RGA series [A is for Archtop] comes the closest to the super thin S series while retaining the pointy metal-god goodness tradition of the RG series. I have an RG5320LCSW on the way. It carries about the same price tag. As the years go by, I've gravitated to Ibanez. They are also about the most consistent imho.

[@Unchainedmaple888]

White fretboard binding would've really complimented this guitar's aesthetic. Imo 27 fret guitars are really just for the aesthetic, it just looks cool and that's why I have a bunch of them lol

[@thesandman775]

Those top 4 notes on the high e string sound like a $72 pawn shop guitar.

[@davyxxx9761]

Paul Gilbert needs all this frets

[@fuzzfizz]

finally i can play the crossroad duel finale with this guitar/ now i just need to learn past the first 2 bars.

[@myhapylife]

Well more frets is like more strings, I see it this way 27 frets are 5 frets more than regular 22, which means you can tune down guitar and still get high notes like D on 22 frets regular guitar in E standard. So basically this guitar when tone to B has the same range as my 7 string with 22 frets. ;) That is interesting. Maybe someone prefers the range of 7 string and neck of 6 string who knows, don't ask me I am just leaving this useless comment here.

[@JoeBaermann]

You do not need to bend the strings around a couple of times, heck even without locking nuts the wound strings will stick with a single overlap. Locking Tuners are still faster for string changes though, and for the price those could easy have fit into the budget.

[@endezeichengrimm]

Keeping up with the Caparisons.

[@EytschPi42]

Nice one

[@mylogify]

9:26 I thought it was the neck pick up and bridge pickup sign :D(While showing)

[@JonathanGasper]

22 frets is enough for me. I don't go above fret 19 very often anyway. 27 frets seems crazy to me, but someone will love it.

[@snowcamellion]

Totally agree with the tuners. Locking tuners should be guitar law. Start a petition. Ha ! Too many frets for me, I don't play much past fret 15 or 17; Then it's time to powerslide back to the other end. Thanks for the video !

[@D14V0R05]

While the folding trussrod access cover is cool, I would still prefer that they used an adjustment wheel at the base of the neck in more models.

[@myopicautisticmetal9035]

That just needs gold frets and it would be sexy. I love how in trying to take the piss out of that guitar, Henning plays crazy good sounding shit with it!

[@MetalMike87]

I need the backing track. Where that came from? PS only player using 27 frets proficiently I can think of is Bobby Koelble in Death's album Symbolic

[@zanewong2005]

The higher frets--isn't it better to use it with an Ebow?

[@kadiray2651]

Hello Henning. If that is possible can you show your amp settings or say something how you set them when you play them? Because your guitars sound very different than other rewievers. It would help comparing the tone for the users. Thanks.

[@EytschPi42]

there is absolutely nothing magical about my settings. EQ is mostly at noon. 60-70 percent of the frequency response comes from the cab and that is a 4X12 creamback loaded cab in the OX from UA... so again nothing magical. The creambacks have probably more mids than most videos that use V30s or even Fender Deluxe Reverbs... so maybe it's the mids.

[@kadiray2651]

@@EytschPi42 thank you for the answer. This explains a lot. Definitely your sound is brighter with everything, espacially cleans.

[@sassycat]

It does the pointy shreddy 80's thing very well, people just like to hear themselves complain nowadays over minutiae.

[@DasOrakelspricht]

Maybe, the high frets are for the tap-o-matic shreddolonskis?

[@ahmetayaz41]

Longer scale makes neck pickup sound dull ??

[@JosephFarr]

while the left hand might not appreciate the 27 frets, two handed tapping players might find a use for them. the action looks extremely low. the neck pickup is so close to the strings.

[@tedfurlo2268]

🤘Brilliantly CHEEKY! 🤘

[@KCsabi]

I don't understand the reason for those extra frets. It makes that you have to pick mostly above the single coil pickup.

[@nilsmclellan868]

Yeah it could be useful. I’d be ok with 24. But 22 is what I use

[@interwebuser]

I don't get how people complain that string changes are faster with locking tuners on guitars with "floyds" am I the only one that thread the strings the "wrong" way around and clips the excess before sticking into the little hole on the trem ? That way the ball end is stuck in the tuner, and it isn't going anywhere.

[@PooNinja]

So adding a high A string instead of a low B to a 21 fret 7 string isn’t an easier way to hit those note? There’s lots of stuff I don’t understand, but it does look cool AF.

[@PooNinja]

Who’s Pearl and why is her mother doing everything?

[@SpyrosVlachopoulos]

That's a G6 @ 9:22 !

[@Satchafunkilus]

The more you play it the less stupid it gets! BTW, great theory about the 🤘

[@captncrunch1726]

if you make proper use of that single coil, you even have 29 frets!

[@fabriziosantin7420]

You can play the Spongebob theme on that...

[@vince8081]

It's the same kind of dumb idea than spinal tap's Marshalls going to 11... 😂🤘

[@8564sfdgsdfsdf]

You don't need 27, you need 29

[@Johnmannish]

More frets = more comfortable to play higher frets

[@Rikamortis6stringer]

I agree with 100% everything you're saying except the sign. It's for metal its devil horns You know like an animal. Maybe animals at the end horns at the end. Lol

[@scottcarpenter701]

ImmI -- helix hold. clearly.

[@satrianirocks]

Everyone needs 27 frets

[@randomguitarnote8887]

27 is crazy and probably useless for most BUT the aesthetics of this guitar are cool AF.

[@cycomiles4225]

Easier to play the 24th fret 🤔 Not thst you need it for that either, RGs have great acces.

[@justin.hombach]

This video is so insulting… on so many levels 😂😂😅

[@EytschPi42]

The Money is in the first three frets my friend!

[@joachimlindback]

Hey thats 26 and 5/6 frets.

[@L.Scott_Music]

27 frets? Ha, that's nothing. I have a 32 fret Hondo Longhorn. Now that's a goofy number of frets. 🙂

[@peterhughes8699]

This guitar is too spiky and white for me :)

[@luisnunes3863]

Who needs 27 frets? Someone who wants a 24th fret where they can actually reach it?

[@jaydevmistry1913]

First to View!!!!

[@dougckelly]

just string the guitar with the ball at the headstock? no need to fuss with locking tuners then, doesn't matter at all.

[@shreder75]

Those high gain tones with the synergy and slo are awful

[@davidepannone6021]

Petition to all guitar manufacturers to put locking tuners on guitars above the 300 dollars/eu mark. Seriously. Just stop putting normal tuners. On a 2000 dollars guitar is just straight up ridicolous not to have em.

[@OliverAmberg]

Locking tuners are for poor people who can't afford a 24/7 guitar tech. Fact. 😉 The guitar gives me chills. But not in a good way. Again, I am an old fart and don't have one guitar with more than 22 frets. Thanks for the review Henning!

[@refusederivedfuel6112]

Ibanez knows whom to build their prestige models for. Middle aged mediocre guitarists, who were always hold back by the missing specs of their gear, back in the days. Like me 😏.
