Prestige: The RG DNA in Japanese Workshop Version
The RG is one of Ibanez's most iconic shapes for guitarists seeking speed, comfort, and access to high notes. With the RG652AHM-AWD, the brand places this modern design within the Prestige realm, synonymous with Japanese craftsmanship and strict quality control. The Antique White Blonde finish brings a bright elegance while maintaining the sharp and "performance" aesthetic typical of the RG family.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This electric guitar naturally targets demanding intermediates and advanced musicians who want a responsive, precise, and durable instrument both on stage and in the studio. Its ergonomics and speed-oriented neck make it an ideal ally for metal, progressive, modern rock, shred, and lead parts rich in bends, vibratos, and legato. Thanks to the 5-position selector, it also retains great versatility for more nuanced rhythm parts.
Sound
The ash body contributes to a clear, punchy, and well-defined output, particularly effective for maintaining clarity in saturated chords. The maple/walnut neck enhances quick response and stability, while the birdseye maple fingerboard adds a crisp attack and precise high-end.
On the electronics side, the DiMarzio Air Norton (neck) and The Tone Zone (bridge) duo covers a wide range: dense lows, present mids, and generous sustain for leads, with a punchy tone for riffs. The 5-position selector multiplies pickup combinations to switch from a thick and muscular register to finer, more articulated textures, very useful in the studio.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To equip it safely, you can opt for electric guitar strings (common gauges 009-042 or 010-046 depending on desired tension), as well as a standard strap (useful for securing the instrument during rehearsals and on stage). Stiffer picks will suit fast and precise attacks well.
