The RG Prestige, Heir to a Metal Icon
For over three decades, the RG series has established itself as the benchmark for fast and sharp guitars. The RG5328R belongs to this "Prestige" lineage: a selection of impeccable materials, meticulous assembly in Japan, and finishes designed for both stage and studio.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Designed for intermediate to expert guitarists seeking an extended scale length, the RG5328R excels in modern metal, djent, prog, and down-tuned atmospheres. Its fixed bridge and locking tuners also make it a reliable choice for recording, touring, and all technical riffs requiring impeccable tuning stability.
Sound
The ash body delivers brightness, attack, and generous sustain. The combination of DiMarzio Fusion Edge humbuckers offers clean mids, tight lows, and precise highs, ideal for palm-muting and very low tunings. The coil-tap expands the palette towards clearer and more articulated textures. The 5-piece Wizard neck and stainless steel frets promote speed and note clarity, while the Gibraltar Standard III optimizes vibration transfer.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To fully exploit the extended range, opt for an 8-string ball-end string set (typical gauges 09-65 to 10-74 depending on tuning). Add a sturdy strap (standard strap locks), and a stable electric guitar stand. The Ibanez hard case is included for secure transport.
