RG series RG is undoubtedly the model that Ibanez is best known for, without a doubt 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, a generous cutaway for access to the highest frets, tremolo bars that are recessed into the body and maintain the tuning even if you step on them, and pickup combinations with many sound possibilities, etc., are what everyone expects a rock guitar to have after the RG model came on the market.

But the RG is so much more than just a rock guitar. For many years now, it has been the first choice for guitarists who want playability, reliability and versatility in an instrument of the highest quality.
A guitar that can handle whatever you use it for and that can easily 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 to the evening's metal gig and then continuing on to a smoky blues jam until the early hours. Whatever you play, this guitar will deliver what you need.

Body: African mahogany/ash top.
Mahogany is a wood with warmer sound characteristics and a clear and prominent midrange. Maple, which often looks fantastic, has a prominent, clean and crisp treble. Often to the point where a body made entirely of maple becomes too bright. But the combination of mahogany and ash gives you fantastic sound characteristics where the different woods complement each other perfectly. A classic wood combination.

Neck: Super Wizard AS
The guitar has an Ibanez Super Wizard AS neck profile, the thinnest and slimmest version of Ibanez necks. Combined with the flat fingerboard, it is an extremely fast and easy-to-play neck, the ultimate neck for fast, technical riffing and/or tricky solo playing. But the neck is not limited to technical playing; you can of course play anything on it.
The obvious neck choice for those who don't want anything else to get in the way of their ideas other than their own playing technique.

Bridge: Lo-Pro Edge tremolo
The bridge is Ibanez's fantastic Lo-Pro EDGE, a well-proven tremolo of the highest quality that has become the benchmark for function and durability for floating bridges. Considered by many to be the best lockable tremolo system on the market. Lo-Pro is a lower version of the classic EDGE. Knife-mounted bridge with a fantastically smooth and responsive feel. With a little simple maintenance and normal common sense in handling, it will stay in tune for life (our life, not the bridge's).
Tremolo arm mount compatible with UTA20 Ultralite Tremolo Arm.
