"Come to meet the new era Hammer of Gods"
Feature:The RG370DX came with an User Manual -that explains care, maintenance, and setup of the guitar and its parts, in several languages; a set of Allen wrenches to adjust whatever needs to be adjusted; and a cable. Obviously, if you don't know how to deal with Ibanez bridges or you're not that experienced with guitars, the manual becomes very useful, but wrenches would be the most. The least useful thing here is the cable 'cause it is nothing special and it doesn't seem to be high quality. Features are those listed in ads and in this same website: Wizard II neck, 25.5 scale neck, 3-piece Maple neck material, Basswood body, 24 jumbo frets, Bound Rosewood finger board, Edge III bridge, IBZ INF3 (H) Neck PU, IBZ INFS3 (S) Mid PU, IBZ INF4 (H) Bridge PU, Sharktooth inlay, and Black hardware. Tuning machines are the sealed, self-lubricant type. All together these parts really make a great instrument I'd say.
Quality:
I have to say that the RG370DX is well constructed, there are not visible defects on it, everything just seems to be well done, the inlays, the polishing of neck and finger board, the insertion of frets is clean, the finishing of the body (I got the Blue Haze) is also well done, no defects on the paint, and the feel is so smooth. Also the Ibanez logo looks terrific on the headstock. This instrument seems to be done to last (under correct treatment of course). I'm not sure how well adjusted it came out from the manufacturer, my guitar just took long to reach home (it was bought in Miami and then started an odyssey to get to Venezuela, and to my city) and I think the box stumble a "little" so it was out of tune 'cause one pressure pad was loosen in the box, so it needed some adjustments before I can play it.
Value:
I agree with other reviewers that say that this guitar worth more than it costs, and it's at the same level of those other guitars I mentioned above.
Desirability:
It is SEXY, just like that. And as with any sexy being out there, you can't fairly say what was or were those features that catch you in first place. It's beautyful, has a sexy curved body, black hardware agaist that metalic blue is mesmerizing, and the shark tooth inlays give it the right attitude. I saw it for the first time in the Ibanez catalog, and now I got it in my hands I realize I made the right choice.
Sound:
The RG370DX s a guitar that sounds great, many would say that the pick-ups could be better or should be changed by other brands pick-ups, but truth is that the Infinity pick-ups do their job quite well, noiselessly. This is a real Metal Machine as said in advertising, if you're into metal, hard rock or any form of rock, I'm pretty sure you'll be satisfied. The RG370DX is totally compatible with these music styles. I tried the RG370DX first directly into the amp and the sounds it produced were beautiful, then I plug it through a Zoom G1x and it amazed me. Clean notes sound clean and sweet, with the gain atop, or using overdrive or distortion units the sound is dense as a wall. I've used and hear Dean, Jackson, Steinberg, Fender guitars, some of them with active EMG pick-ups and it seems to me that the RG370DX has nothing to envy them.
Ease of Use:
The Wizard II neck is a pleasure when playing, and its finishing makes is very smooth and soft. It also has extra-light strings that make it very soft to play. The flat finger board is ideal for fast playing and in general for all tachniques involved in rock and metal playing.
Support:
Nothing to say here yet.
Overall:
As far as I know and feel, I should say that I'll be satisfied for a long time with this beauty, and if I search for other guitars, it will be just to complete the set, never to substitute this one. Beside all the aesthetic considerations made before, the position this brand have in the guitar world, the pick-ups arrangement, and the price, were the factors that made me choose the RG370DX. If this guitar became lost or stolen or destroyed somehow, I'm pretty sure I will try to get another one or if impossible a very similar one. From the RG370DX I knew what was said in the catalog and what was said by the reviews found in different websites, and most of them considered this guitar a very valuable offer. I like the most of it, I guess you could notice it from the review; and the least I like about it is just the few finishing option available for the RG370DX, I mean, this blue is great but perhaps I'd liked to have more colors to choose from.

"Well worth the money"
Feature:The guitar came from the factory and needed some work by the guitar tech - the middle pickup doesnt go as far down as I whish but overall Im happy with the great neck and bridge
Quality:
Ibanez have gone a step further in the quality of their products - no doubt. This guitar is made in Indonezia? - couldn't tell ya if I didnt look myself and saw - unbelievable. The bridge is better then the floydrose I had in my Ex Japanees rg770 and stays in tune after serious molastations - have it for a month now - no problems so far - I even dropped it once screaming but I was amazed to find nothing happend (thank god)
Value:
Its a bit more expensive here at the middle of nowhere but till the bomb drops on our heads at least we'll have something to rock with - not bad
Sound:
I used to own an rg-770 and sold it in favor of a Strat - I bought this one in Israel (made in Indonezia). One thing that really surprizes me is the excellent clean sound it has - amazing - though to get the metal sound i wanted takes a bit of tweeking my amp - its not the best for the Dimebag heavy compressed sound but I suppose its not bad for that prise..Worth it
Ease of Use:
Im not that savvy and dont have anything better to compare to but its neck is so much like my strat that it didnt take me long to get use to

"The exelence of the Ibanez RG370DX."
Feature:I would like it to come with a dist. pedal cos it sounds wicked with dist.
Quality:
It has great sound quality,the quality of the wood is exelent. The pickups are the best!
Value:
It is worth more than the price!
Desirability:
It is very "sexy". The colour is brill, the way its made is great, it feels very comfortable. Its design is wicked.
Sound:
I love this guitar because its got a wide variation of sound. You can play almost every type of rock with this guitar..
Support:
I havent got in touch with the company or had any problems or repairs. I probably will upgrade the guitar in the future.
Overall:
I will have this guitar forever. I personaly think its one of the best guitars. I wouldnt sell it.I like the variation of the sound most.I dont think much of the whammy bar. Idid have my mind on the the "Fender stratocaster" but i desided to buy this guitar cos of the difference of the sound between the two guitars.It does help me reach my musical goals.
