I play mostly heavy music with distorted tones and my god this guitar is perfect for that. As for playability, it's an extremely comfortable guitar to play. I've always found the RG series to be comfortable to play. This is the third RG I've owned. It's also VERY well balanced at a 45 degree angle when using a strap. As for tone, couldn't be much happier. It's rather bright but it doesn't sound thin even in the slightest. It sounds very full and heavy as hell. It seems like the pickups have a lot of output but it doesn't sound noisy or overly-bassy either. It also seems to have a lot of harmonic response when chugging without even choking up too hard. Basically, it djents hard as hell without even trying but can also purr nicely with the palm halfway on the bridge. You can get very good lead and rhythm tones on this guitar for heavier music. I haven't played with clean tones much so I can't say how that sounds. As for finish and craftsmanship, everything is spot on. I tend to notice minor details and this guitar is practically flawless. Something worth mentioning is, my guitar didn't come with pickup rings. I'm not sure if this was intentional or not. They were never installed and didn't have screw holes. I actually prefer this because I think the pickup rings are kinda ugly but just know, you may not get them with pickup rings like in the picture. As for tuning stability, I'm still not sure how stable it is since the strings and the nut aren't broken in yet and I haven't stretched the strings. It seems to be getting more stable as I play it though. There are a couple cons I've found. The high E string is getting stuck on the nut pretty badly but that can easily be fixed. Also I don't like how close the volume knob is to the strings. It can be bumped if you're going ham on strumming. Read more

Everything is on point. A very well setup product. Tones are rich and top notch. All hardwares are working as expected. Everything seems good. The packaging was amazing. No damages were seen during shipping. Overall a fantastic product and I personally suggest this guitar for any intermediate player. It is a complete pachage. No adjustments required to the action of the guitar. Paint job is marvellous. The Wizard III is thin and built for speed. The tuning stability is damn good to my surprise. Love the product. Thanks Ibanez and Amazon. Read more
