• Premium Finish: jumbo stainless steel frets with refined edges, responsive ebony fingerboard, Gotoh tuners, and luminescent side markers.

RGT: The RG Spirit with the Added Benefit of a Neck-through

In the performance-oriented RG family, the RGT1220PB stands out with its neck-through construction, designed to maximize stability and sustain while improving comfort in the upper registers. It retains the "fast neck" DNA of models crafted for precision and adds a high-end aesthetic thanks to its poplar burl top on an American basswood body, all dressed in an elegant and refined "Antique Brown Stained" finish.

A Guitar for Modern Playing, from Riff to Lead

This Ibanez is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a reliable electric guitar for live and studio use. It excels in modern metal, heavy rock, shred, prog, or fusion, with a sharp attack and immediate response. Thanks to the dyna-MIX10 and its very usable positions, it can also switch to cleaner and snappier clean textures suitable for pop, funk, or indie, without losing the necessary density for rhythm playing.

The Tone

The pair of DiMarzio humbuckers gives the RGT1220PB a character that is both powerful and versatile. At the bridge, the The Tone Zone delivers generous lows and pronounced mids for solid palm mutes, tight riffs, and solos that clearly stand out in the mix. At the neck, the Air Norton provides a silkier grain, with singing highs and more articulate cleans, perfect for fluid leads.

The dyna-MIX10, controlled by the 5-position blade selector and the "Alter" mini-toggle switch, multiplies combinations and notably activates the Power Tap mode, very useful for achieving a snappier single-coil-like response from the humbuckers. The ebony fingerboard enhances attack and precision, the American basswood maintains a balanced foundation, and the neck-through construction improves vibrational continuity for more generous sustain. Finally, the Edge vibrato completes the setup with a solid feel and stable intonation.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

For transport and protection, the Ibanez MR500C hard case is recommended, and a gig bag is included. To stay close to the original setup, prefer a 9-42 gauge string set (such as D'Addario EXL120). A 6.35 mm jack cable and a standard strap complete a stage- and rehearsal-ready set.
