Members mbengs1 Posted April 7, 2018 Members Share Posted April 7, 2018 I came from the store near my place that sells Ibanez and I got a Ibanez RG350ZB-WK. I setup the thing to perfection and I have to say it plays and sounds great! It has reasonable about of burr, and the thing performs as well as thousand dollar priced guitars. The nut is a little higher on the bass side as opposed to the treble side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mikeo Posted April 7, 2018 Members Share Posted April 7, 2018 Ibanez makes some nice play guitars. If I did and Ibanez, it probably would have been this JEM [ATTACH=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"custom","height":"491","title":"2000?cb=20160714162807.jpg","width":"1618","data-attachmentid":32200015}[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thatsbunk Posted April 7, 2018 Members Share Posted April 7, 2018 Have your tech cut the nut when you take it to him in a couple of weeks with worn frets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted April 8, 2018 Members Share Posted April 8, 2018 Congratulations and Happy New Guitar Day . . . . The nut is a little higher on the bass side as opposed to the treble side. It's not that uncommon for the nut to be slightly higher on the bass side. If the difference is particularly pronounced it might be a slight issue. That model has a locking nut. Is it also height adjustable? Even if it isn't a qualified tech can correct it with minimal trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] Actually, no you can't. The bridge and nut are two different things. No amount of adjusting the bridge will make the nut lower or higher.

Members mbengs1 Posted April 9, 2018 Author Members Share Posted April 9, 2018 Here it's... I picked it among 4 other guitars. 3 different kinds of RG370 and this RG350ZB-WK. I went for the lower priced one. But I think it's better than the 370. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YMMV. The OP may simply not have noticed the difference in nut height on his other guitars. My bet is there's nothing--or very little--wrong, but the guitar could also have been poorly set up.

Members mikesr1963 Posted April 10, 2018 Members Share Posted April 10, 2018 It's a locking nut right? Check to see if there's a shim. Dan Erlewine notes a Floyd Rose type nut can have both the E strings, big and small, .010 (average height) above the height of the frets as the strings sit in the bottom of the nut slots.
