An Ibanez Designed for Performance
Since the late 1980s, the RG series models have shaped the "shred" guitar with ultra-fast necks and stage-oriented ergonomics. This version carries that DNA: a Wizard III neck for speed, a balanced meranti body, and simple yet effective H-H electronics, all in a reliable solid body format ready to play.For Whom and Which Styles?
Perfect for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking speed and precision, this RG excels in rock, hard rock, metal, and prog. Its playing comfort and stable intonation also suit motivated beginners who want a high-performance first electric guitar that is easy to set up and maintain.The Sound
The combination of meranti (body) and jatoba fingerboard highlights clear mids and bright highs without harshness. The Quantum humbuckers (ceramic, passive) provide immediate response to fast attacks: firm lows, precise note definition even at high gain, and a full mid/high-mid range that cuts through the mix. The F106 bridge contributes to sustain and stability, while the Mono-unit output block reduces wear and false contacts for long-lasting reliability.Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the original feel: 10-46 gauge strings like D'Addario EXL110. Add a standard strap (classic strap locks), a universal A-frame guitar stand, and a quality 6.35 mm straight/angled jack cable to secure the Mono-unit connection.Technical specifications
