An RG in the Lineage of Ibanez "Shred" Guitars
The RG460DX fits within the spirit of the RG series: a resolutely fast-playing approach, easy access to high notes, and modern feel. Between its Wizard III neck and Edge-Zero II tremolo, it targets guitarists who want a guitar comfortable with current techniques without sacrificing precision or tuning stability.
For Whom and What Styles?
This Ibanez is especially aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking smooth playability for modern rock, hard rock, metal, prog, fusion, and soloing techniques. The 24 frets and tremolo encourage expressive playing (vibratos, dives, harmonics), while the S-S-H configuration maintains versatility to switch from crisp clean tones to dense distortion.
The Sound
The meranti body provides a balanced response with ample mids and a smooth feel, ideal for thick and clear distortions. The maple neck adds attack and definition, while the jatoba fingerboard contributes to a rich midrange and bright highs, helping notes stay precise in fast passages.
On the electronics side, the Quantum pickups are designed for a sharp attack and quick response: passive Alnico single coils at the neck and middle for more open sounds, and a passive ceramic humbucker at the bridge for tight response, more bite, and clear articulation in high gain. The Edge-Zero II favors expressive vibrato effects while maintaining good playing comfort thanks to its low profile.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay close to the original specifications, this guitar is equipped with D'Addario EXL120 strings in gauge .009/.011/.016/.024/.032/.042. For transport, the recommended M300C case and the recommended IGB540-BK gig bag are suitable options.
