Description

Today’s world of down-tuned metal and hard rock requires an instrument specifically designed to cater for those tunings, with a response not found in traditional guitars – enter the RGD: Ibanez’s ultimate metal machine. To accommodate the huge, thick tone that is characteristic when down-tuning, the RGD features an extended 26.5″ scale – longer than standard, but not too long, while the neck remains thin and fast for fast riffing and blistering solos. The cutaways are extra-deep to allow unrestricted access to even the highest notes.

Features

Mono-Rail Bridge – The cutting-edge Mono-Rail bridge is built for both stability and sustain, and minimizes sympathetic vibrations across strings.

Fishman Fluence Pickups – The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups deliver a fierce tone with aggressive attack, without the excess noise!

Wizard HP 5pc Maple/Walnut Neck -Ibanez’s Wizard necks are slim, flat, strong, and sturdy, offering superior performance for demanding players.

Basswood Body -Basswood produces a warm, balanced, and natural tone with a slight mid-focus and a silky high end.

26.5″ Scale -The extended scale enables precise intonation of heavier gauge strings, and retains more tension in lower tunings, making this guitar the ultimate metal machine.

Luminescent Side Dot Inlays -The luminescent side dot inlays make it easy for players to see what they’re playing on the darkest stages, matching the striking luminescent Ibanez headstock logo inlay.

Gotoh MG-T Locking Machine Heads -Delivering outstanding tuning-stability, Gotoh MG-T Locking Machine Heads make for fast and efficient string changes.
