The RG is the most recognizable and distinctive guitar in the Ibanez line. Three decades of metal have forged this high-performance machine, honing it for both speed and strength. Whether you favor a hardtail (fixed) bridge or Ibanez's industry-leading locking tremolo system, the RG is a precision instrument.
Ibanez has been creating innovations which do not only fit the unique demands of players from that period, but also eventually turn into industrial standards, such as 7 string, 8 string and Multi scale guitars. All these started from Ibanez's attitude to be "Innovative, Cutting-Edge and Pioneer". Axe Design Lab is the series fully represents this attitude.
Ibanez's Wizard neck, renowned for its thin, flat profile and exceptional playability, is constructed with durability in mind. The 24-fret fretboard spans two octaves and provides a vast range of musical possibilities.
Macassar Ebony produces tight lows and mid range along with strong attack in the highs and quick response with rich sustain.
Stainless steel frets boast excellent corrosion resistance. The wide and tall fret-type offers a quick response and effortless articulation when playing chords and clear tone when playing single notes.
The Maple top sonically enriches the response while picking. The Nyatoh body provides a rich mid-low end.
The Fishman® Fluence™ Modern Humbucker pickups provide an aggressive tone and a powerful attack without excess noise.
The EverTune® bridge system keeps the guitar in tune under any conditions.
Gotoh® machine heads provide superior precision, a smooth feel, and excellent tuning accuracy.
The coil tap switch adds sound and tonal variations for both pickups.
The Voicing switch allows the pickups to switch from a modern, active high output sound to a crisp, clean and fluid sound.
The luminescent side dot position marks make it easy for players to see fretboard position marks when performing on dark stages.
When the coil tap switch is in neck position, coil tap is on. When the coil tap switch is in bridge position, coil tap is off. When coil tap is off and the pickup selector switch is in the neck position, the neck pickup is selected. When the switch is in the center position, both neck and bridge pickups are selected. When the switch is in the bridge position, the bridge pickup is selected. When coil tap is on and the pickup selector switch is in the neck position, the bridge side of the neck pickup is selected. When the switch is in center position, the bridge side of the neck pickup and neck side of the bridge pickup are selected. When the switch is in bridge position, neck side of the bridge pickup is selected.
With the guitar held in the playing position, there is a three-way pickup selector switch near the knee cutout on the lower part of the body. There is a push/pull volume knob that also controls the fishman fluence voicing function, as well as a coil tap switch and tone knob toward the end of the body. When the volume knob is down, fluence voice 1 is engaged. With the volume knob up, fluence voice 2 is engaged. When the coil tap switch is in neck position, the coil tap is on, and when the switch is in the bridge position, the coil tap is off.
