The Ibanez RG is arguably the most distinctive and well-known guitar in the Ibanez family. Three decades of metal have shaped this high-performance instrument—optimized for speed, precision, and power. Whether with a fixed bridge or the industry-leading locking tremolo system, the RG is an uncompromising precision tool for modern guitarists. With the Axe Design Lab, Ibanez remains true to its pioneering spirit. Innovations such as 7- and 8-string guitars and multiscale guitars, which are now considered industry standards, stem from this very philosophy of constantly redefining boundaries. This series embodies the attitude of being bold, visionary, and trend-setting. The Prestige line complements this claim with three central principles: precision, performance, and playability. State-of-the-art manufacturing techniques meet traditional Japanese craftsmanship—enhanced by input from professional musicians from around the world who are actively involved in the development process. The Super Wizard HP 5-piece maple/wenge neck provides an exceptionally fast and smooth playing feel, while the rosewood fingerboard delivers a powerful, balanced sound with focused mids. Jumbo stainless steel frets with Prestige Fret Edge Treatment guarantee precise response, clear articulation, and an effortless playing experience right up to the highest registers. The African mahogany body produces rich midrange and low-end tones. The Fishman® Fluence™ Modern Humbucker Ceramic Pickups deliver aggressive, powerful sounds with clear attack and no annoying background noise. The Fishman® Fluence™ Voicing Switch allows you to flexibly switch the pickups from a modern, active high-output sound to a dynamic, clear, and fluid clean sound. Gotoh® tuners ensure maximum tuning precision and smooth handling, while the EverTune® bridge system guarantees stable tuning even under the toughest conditions. Luminlay side dots provide reliable orientation on dark stages, and the sturdy Ibanez hardshell case offers maximum protection for the instrument. The RG combines modern innovation, flawless craftsmanship, and limitless performance—a guitar for players who refuse to compromise and expect the next step in sound, stability, and playability.
