Details

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, Ibanez 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 and deep soloing. Extra-deep cutaways grant comfortable access to the neck's highest notes.

FEATURES

• Macassar Ebony Fretboard: Macassar Ebony produces tight lows and mid range along with strong attack in the highs and quick response with rich sustain. 
  
• Edge-Zero II Tremolo Bridge w/ZPS3Fe: The Edge Zero II bridge design features a lower profile tremolo for playing comfort and stud lock function for stable tuning. In addition, the zero point system provides much greater tuning stability. 
  
• Coil-Tap Switch: The coil tap switch adds sound and tonal variations for both pickups. 
  
• Nitro Wizard 5pc Panga Panga/Walnut Neck: Super-thin and ultra-playable, the Nitro Wizard 5-piece Panga Panga/Walnut Neck substantially increases sustain. 
  
• Sub Zero Treated Frets: The Sub Zero treated frets can stand up against the hardest riffing and string-bending. 
  
• Luminescent Side Dot Inlays: The luminescent side dot inlays make it easy for players to perform on dark stages, matching the dazzling luminescent Ibanez headstock logo. 
  
• Schaller S-Lock Strap Lock Pins: Durable Schaller S-Locks don't fail, even under the toughest conditions on stage.
