Same hardware + different body = different sound? - IBANEZ RGA42 vs. IBANEZ S521

Michaels´s Music Lab - Episode 1

I was looking for a replacement for my Epiphone Blueshawk and found these two nice Ibanez models. I was wondering what difference it would make to have a different body with the same hardware. Here´s the answer - I hope you enjoy it!!

All riffs are recorded and mixed free of effects as compressors & EQ´s so that everyone can apply his own settings and compare for himself.

Please leave a comment what you would like to see next time!
