The Essentials to Know About the Ibanez RG "IV2RG" Guitar
- Speed and precision thanks to the Super Wizard 5-piece maple/purpleheart neck and ultra-responsive ebony fingerboard.
- HSH versatility with DiMarzio Air Norton (neck), True Velvet (middle), and The Tone Zone (bridge) pickups controlled by a 5-position selector switch.
- Lo-Pro Edge tremolo with double locking for formidable tuning stability and maximum playing comfort.
- Premium woods: burl maple top on a Black Limba body for an ideal balance of warmth, attack, and sustain.
An RG "Visions" Between Heritage and Innovation
Designed in the spirit of "Ibanez Visions," this RG connects the brand's historic DNA with the modern needs of guitarists. Three decades of RG platform evolution are found here in high-end lutherie, refined ergonomics, and components chosen to push limits both on stage and in the studio.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Built for intermediate to expert players, the IV2RG excels in modern metal, shred, and prog, while remaining comfortable in rock, fusion, and pop. The Super Wizard profile favors fast techniques (legato, sweeping, tapping) while the HSH configuration covers everything from crisp cleans to saturated leads, without compromise.
The Sound
The ebony fingerboard provides attack, definition, and generous sustain. The Black Limba body offers organic warmth and rich resonance, which the burl maple top refines with controlled brightness. On the electronics side, the DiMarzio trio delivers a very wide spectrum: a powerful and just-right compressed The Tone Zone bridge pickup, a True Velvet middle for punchy cleans, and a full, silky Air Norton neck pickup. The 5-position selector cycles through useful textures, from percussive funk to singing solos. The Lo-Pro Edge ensures smooth vibrato, stable dive-bombs, and impeccable tuning stability.
