Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Ibanez RG170 is an entry point into the RG line, keeping the format's defining features — a thin fast Wizard-style neck, 24 frets and a double-locking tremolo — in an affordable build. The HSH pickup layout gives a bridge humbucker for gain, a neck humbucker for lead, and a middle single-coil for the cleaner positions.
Tanglewood Memphis AS-35 is a semi-hollow body electric guitar (ES-335 style copy) with dual humbucking pickups, set neck for enhanced sustain, rosewood fingerboard, and double-cutaway design. Made in Korea, the AS-35 delivers warm, resonant tone suitable for jazz, rock, and versatile playing styles.
