About this listing
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 soloing. Extra-deep cutaways grant comfortable access to the necks highest notes.Iron LabelThe Iron Label line was originally developed with metal and nothing but metal in mind. Ibanez modded and tweaked until they got to the heaviest-hitting metal axes they've ever built. They're purposefully spartan, and you won't find a feature here that doesn't contribute directly to a bone rattling, earth shattering tones these guitars pump out. Carrying forward that same philosophy, the next generation of Iron Label guitars take this raw metal energy to a completely new level. They sport totally blacked out looks, and their supercharged electronics amounting to some of the heaviest-swinging metal axes they've ever produced.Wizard II Roasted Maple neckThe Roasted Maple neck is heat-treated to increase stability, durability, moisture resistance and tolerance of temperature changes.Ebony fretboardEbony produces tight lows and mid range with attack in the high end and features a quick response and rich sustain.Jumbo fretsJumbo frets contribute to smooth playability, especially for single-note playing.Nyatoh bodyNyatoh used as the body wood provides a rich mid-low end.DiMarzio D Activator pickupsDiMarzio D Activator pickups have a powerful, clean, and open sound with excellent harmonic overtones and very tight low-end response.Gotoh MG-T locking machine headsThe Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads achieve incredible tuning stability, cutting down string-changing time.Mono-rail bridgeDesigned for both stability and sustain, the innovative Ibanez Mono-Rail bridge minimizes cross-talk between stringsCoil-tap switchThe coil tap switch adds sound and tonal variations for both pickups.Luminescent side dotsThe luminescent side dot position marks make it easy for players to see fretboard position marks when performing on dark stages.26.5 inch scaleIts extra long 26.5" scale and ability to accurately intonate heavier string gauges, make it the perfect beast for down-tuned metal.Specs:Neck Material: Wizard II Roasted MapleFretboard: EbonyFrets: JumboBody Material: NyatohPickups: DiMarzio D Activator Humbuckers with Coil-tap switchTuners: Gotoh MG-T locking machine headsBridge: Mono-railInlays: Luminescent side dots
