The RG is one of the most recognizable and enduring designs in the Ibanez lineup, built for speed, strength, and precision. With more than three decades of evolution behind it, the RG continues to define what a high-performance guitar should be. The RGRT variant adds neck-through construction for increased sustain and stability, along with a reverse headstock for a bold, modern look.
Its Wizard III neck, constructed from five pieces of maple and walnut, is thin, flat, and fast, designed for players who demand smooth playability across a two-octave fretboard. The jatoba fingerboard adds a rich midrange and crisp highs, while jumbo frets provide accuracy and comfort for single-note runs and bends.
The body wings are crafted from nyatoh, delivering a full, mid-low resonance that balances power with warmth. Loaded with Quantum humbuckers, the guitar excels at high-gain riffing with tight bass response, pronounced mids, and articulate highs, ensuring clarity even during complex passages.
The Edge-Zero II tremolo completes the package, offering tuning stability and smooth pitch control with a comfortable low-profile design. The RGRT is a metal-forged machine built for guitarists who want precision, speed, and aggressive tone in a stage-ready instrument.
