NGD!! Ibanez High Performance RG421HPFM - Blue Reef Gradation

[Charvel1975]

Hey guys!! Hope all is well and everyone has a good holiday weekend!! Well I just bought my first new electric guitar online ever and first new guitar for me in over 20 years!! I got an Ibanez High Performance RG421HPFM - Blue Reef Gradation off Sweetwater, Weight: 6lbs 8oz., M300C Guitar Case for RG, RGA, RGD, RG7, S, S7, SA and got the Guitar Setup, Fixed Bridge they did for $60 and went with the factory string gauge: 10-46 and had them restring it with D'Addairo EXL110 XL Nickel - 10-46 Regular Light. It arrived yesterday before practice and used it at practice last night through my Peavey 6505+ head into Bugera 2x12 closed back cab with Celestion G12K100 & Vintage 30 that my other guitarist has been letting me use at rehearsal into a powered Behringer pedal board with some Behringer pedals and a TC Electronic corona chorus. We were playing really low volume as our drummer had his electronic kit with a small Ampeg bass amp he was using but have another drum kit going into the rehearsal room on Sunday. I'm curious how it will sound through my live rig on the show we have outdoors this Sunday 7/4??!!

44 out of 55 things inspected on the inspection card I received. Some of the other things on the card do not apply to my guitar.

***Update*** Well I had to wind up returning the guitar to Sweetwater, was having bad issues with high action even after I paid Sweetwater to do the setup and had high pitch feedback; The feedback and noise was present whenever I was not playing the strings, it was completely unplayable because of this.
