RG series RG is undoubtedly the model that Ibanez is best known for, undoubtedly the ultimate rock guitar. A guitar that started a school for how a rock guitar should look and be equipped. Features such as extremely easy-to-play and fast necks, solid cut-away for accessing the highest frets, swaybars that are recessed in the body and keep the tuning even if you walk on them and mic combinations with many sound possibilities, etc. are what everyone expects a rock guitar to have after the RG model came out on the market. But the RG is also so much more than just a rock, for many years now it has been the first choice for guitarists who want playability, reliability and width in an instrument of the highest quality. A guitar that can handle whatever you use it for and that can keep up with your pop gig in the morning, your jazz gig at lunchtime and fusion playing in the studio while you wait for the dance band studio job to start before heading off for the evening's metal gig and then on to a smoky blues jam until the small hours. Whatever you play, this guitar will deliver what you need. Body: African Mahogany/AAA flamed maple top. Mahogany is a wood with sound characteristics in the warmer direction with a clear and prominent midrange. Maple, in addition to often looking absolutely stunning, has a prominent, clean and crisp, treble. Often to the level that a body entirely in maple becomes too bright. But the combination of mahogany and maple gives you fantastic sound characteristics where the different woods complement each other perfectly. A classic wood combination. Neck: j. Custom Wizard-7. The guitar has an Ibanez j. Custom Wizard7 neck. Combined with the flat fingerboard, it's an extremely fast and easy-to-play neck, the ultimate neck for fast, technical riffing and/or tricky soloing. But the neck is not limited to technical playing, it is of course possible to play everything on it. The obvious neck choice for those who do not want anything else in the way of their ideas than their own playing technique. Stable: LO-Pro Edge 7 tremolo The stable is Ibanez's fantastic Lo-Pro EDGE, a well-proven sway of absolute top quality that has become the template for function and durability for floating stables. Considered by many as the best lockable sway system on the market. Lo-Pro is a lower version of the classic EDGE. Knife-suspended stall with a fantastically soft and responsive feel. With a little simple maintenance and normal people skills, it will keep the tuning for life (our life, not the stable's). Sway arm mount that works with the UTA20 Ultralite Tremolo Arm(TM).
