The RG is the most famous and distinctive guitar in the Ibanez portfolio. Three decades of metal have shaped this high-performance machine, honing it for speed, precision, and assertiveness and making it a true standard for modern guitarists. Whether with a fixed hardtail bridge or one of the renowned Ibanez tremolos, the RG always stands for absolute control and technical reliability. Equipped with the Wizard III Maple neck, which is thin, flat, and particularly fast to play, it also offers the necessary stability for demanding playing styles. The 24-fret fingerboard allows for a range of over two full octaves and opens up maximum tonal flexibility. The Jatoba fretboard with its reddish-brown appearance delivers a rich midrange with clear, precise highs, while jumbo frets promote an effortless playing feel – especially during fast single-note passages. The meranti body complements these characteristics with a balanced sound that is characterized by slightly lowered mids and a pleasantly warm, round fundamental tone. The Quantum H-H pickups impress with fast bass response, clear note separation even at high speeds, and a powerful, defined mid and high range. The setup is rounded off by the F106 hardtail bridge, which not only optimizes sustain but also allows for easy-to-access, individual string height adjustment. The result is a guitar designed for speed, precision, and fluidity—uncompromising, powerful, and typically Ibanez RG.
