An RG Prestige Shaped by Decades of Stage Experience

An icon of the Ibanez range, the RG has been shaped by over three decades of metal guitarists' demands. The RGR5221R belongs to this high-end "Prestige" lineage, where cutting-edge manufacturing meets Japanese craftsmanship to deliver an instrument ready for both stage and studio.

For Which Guitarist and Styles?

Designed for intermediate to expert musicians seeking speed and precision. It excels in modern metal, prog, djent, hard rock, but its coil-tap and 5-way selector also open the door to clearer tones suitable for alternative rock, pop-rock, and ambient textures.

The Sound

The pair of Bare Knuckle Brute Force humbuckers delivers a high output level with incisive clarity: dense lows, pronounced mids, and sharp highs for punchy rhythms and leads that cut through the mix. The coil-tap provides a brighter, airier tone, close to a single coil. The ash top adds attack and definition, while the African mahogany body enhances warmth and support. The jumbo stainless steel frets emphasize articulation and intonation stability. The Gibraltar Standard III optimizes vibrational transfer for long sustain and responsive dynamics.
