DAN AGOSTO: Hi. Welcome to Gearwire.Com. We're taking a look at the Ibanez RG321F. This is a Prestige model which means that it's made in Ibanez's Prestige Factory. So, this is a Sapphire Blue model. You can -- It's so transparent you can see the flame maple top through there, and that's mounted on top of a mahogany body.

So the neck on this is actually five pieces of wood, maple and walnut, you can kind of see different pieces there, and the fretboard is rosewood with abalone inlay, it's dots, and the frets are jumbo so they're nice and meaty. We move further up, you see we got a standard nut, I think this is a graphite nut, and truss rod cover on here. We got six inline Ibanez tuners. On here, it is closed back. Of course, we have the Ibanez Prestige logo so you know it's a Prestige model.

If we move back on down, we got -- you can see there's only two tone knobs on here. This guitar does offer a lot of tone possibilities despite that fact.We just have one master volume right here and one master tone, and it's a five-position pickup selector switch instead of just a three-position which you would expect on a regular two-humbucker guitar. But so it has coil tapping so the in between ones, so number two and number four, position two and four are actually going to be using the coil tapping functions on this guitar.

So, if we move all the way up, we're just using the neck humbucker. These are both DiMarzio IBZ pickups on here. So, this is the kind of sound that you'll get with just the neck humbucker.

All right. And if we move it into the second position, we're going to be getting sort of a single coil sound at the neck.

So, we can hear it's less output and more sort of a single coil tone. Moving it to the center, we're going to be using both humbuckers.

A nice, full-range tone there. Move over here, we're going to get sort of out of phase, but I think what this fourth position is doing is actually coil tapping one or both of these and putting it out of phase with the other, so.

All right, and the last position we're just going to have full out bridge humbucker.

All right. And last thing we didn't mention on here, this has a fixed Gibraltar Plus bridge, so it's kind of a nice, beefy bridge on here and not too much of a hardcore angle on the string that are actually going through the body and it's sort of a nice, rolled angle that the strings can so less likely to break a string on here.

Since this is a Prestige model guitar, you get a case included, and it's a standard Prestige model case, molded, so it says Prestige Ibanez on the top, and inside you get the molded plush insides, a very high-quality case. So, that is the Ibanez RG321F. Thanks for checking it out here at Gearwire.Com.
