This guitar is in overall excellent condition with a couple of light scratches in the satin finish (see photos #4 & #8).
The RGD is Ibanez's ultimate metal machine. The demands of down-tuning require a specifically designed responsiveness not found in "normal" guitars. To optimize for the rich, desirable thickness of tone that down-tuning produces, they extended the neck by one inch to a 26.5" scale. Longer-than standard yet not overly long. The neck is still considered a "fast" neck for speed soloing. Extra-deep cutaways grant comfortable access to the necks highest notes.
Nitro Wizard Neck
Legendary Super-thin, ultra-playable neck with road-tested durability.
Ebony Fretboard
The tight grain of Ebony provides a smooth, dense playing surface that produces a tight low-end with the quick response needed for metal.
DiMarzio Fusion Edge Pickups
Through close collaboration between Ibanez and DiMarzio-Fusion Edge pickups have been engineered to produce a powerful, distinctive tone with a crisp, cutting high end, and a tight, compressed bottom end, minus any muddy mid-range.
Gibraltar Standard II Bridge
The Gibraltar Standard II is a simple fixed bridge that was designed to unify with the guitar's body and provide optimal transfer of each string's vibration. Smooth surface is designed to maximize playing comfort.
Gotoh MG-T Locking Machine Heads
The Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads achieve incredible tuning stability, cutting down string-changing time.
