    Gorgeous guitar. I'm paying off a J. Custom 8570CST (Natural). The deal was too good to pass up. I hope it lives up to the hype! 😁🤘

    Holy Cow Chris, you are rising the bar!! you are getting such a cool Guitars!

    I love the control layout on this. I always fumble on 5 way blade Ibbys. I have an RG2620qm prestige from the early 2000s that has this same layout minus the coil tap switch. Killer demo/ playing as always Chris!

    Great video and tasty licks. I have this model (8520-GE)in Emerald Green with the Tone Zone/Air Norton combo and you hit the nail on the head. Peak quality and playability. I still have a problem though and still buy new guitars cheap and expensive and I see you’re also still afflicted with that same sickness haha. This one is still my forever guitar but I’m also a collector and don’t ever think I’ll stop.

    Clean tones were round, fat, and beautiful. You can find many tones from 2 humbuckers. That's great sounding guitar. You are a great player, nice feedback and trem action.
  • @azharkhan8796
    That tone is very good! There's that dimarzio signature done so well with your playing and the DM Fusions. Tighter than the TZ/AN. I'm thinking of going to Dimarzios again.

    They get better over time they age like wine.

    Super happy to have found a used 8570 for a killer deal. Desert island guitar for me. Agree with all your points though.
  • Dude ,you ROCK! the guitar is nice except for the the pickup switch shouldn't be in the strumming path.
  • Nice review, Beautiful guitar! I love my Ibanez Guitars to. It just puzzles me they didn't cover the truss rod with a nice Custom plate cover. They just leave an uncovered hole, this is a J Custom, C'mon Ibanez....I remember looking at these new and wondering why that small detail was left out. I still would buy one though for the right price. Just my .02
  • Realy nice playing and great sounding Ibanez, thanks for the demo Chris🙃👌🏼 Do you have it tuned in D standard?
