NGD: 30 Fret Ibanez - Because MORE is MORE, right?

#1

So I’ve always been attracted to weird guitars, and one such guitar is the 30 fret RG Ibanez made for a short period in 2013-2015.

Finally, I managed to get my hands on one, and it is indeed quite a silly guitar, but I’m having fun with it!

And such it is such a silly guitar, I had to play the silliest thing I could think of on it: https://youtu.be/fEZUr2oMN7M?si=0LbzqKq7btIzjeIn

The highest frets can be quite tricky to use since it gets quite cramped up there. But quite fun to play around with, and the guitar itself feels quite nice to play. It looks a bit like an abomination, but I kind of like that!

Anyone else tried one or own one?

Thank you!

It can be quite tricky! But I was thinking that maybe tapping with the pick will work better than with the fingers. But yeah, it is pretty cramped up there, even with my skinny fingers.
