Ibanez RGA20P1PB-CUL

GA20P1PB-COL (Cosmic Blue Low Gloss) Premium. Arched top.

The Best Premium RG Ever!
Premium is a series of guitars and basses in the Ibanez range that lies between the Prestige and Standard series. The series can best be described as wanting to build an instrument of the highest quality in a cheaper manufacturing country, all to keep the price tag down for the end consumer. With Premium instruments, you get amazing value for money, with both sound and playability of the highest quality. Details such as neck pocket fitting, control compartment shielding, belt sanding, etc. are absolutely top notch.
No Ibanez series has ever offered more ‘guitar for your money’. Simply put, Premium guitars.
Simply put, these are premium guitars.
The RGA20P1PB has a body made of American basswood, which is a fairly light wood with even frequency response across the entire register. This makes it a wood that is easy to colour in many different ways and get many different kinds of sounds out of. The even frequency response also makes it very suitable for distorted sounds, as it binds the sound together nicely without it becoming either scattered or unclear.
The top is a curved top made of Poplar Burl/Maple/Walnut/Curly Maple/Panga Panga (17mm top), which differs in appearance between different pieces, so no two guitars look exactly the same.
The neck is a 5-piece construction of Maple and Walnut. The neck profile is Ibanez's classic Wizard profile.
The fretboard is equipped with Jumbo Stainless frets, which are significantly harder than normal frets, meaning they wear much more slowly than standard frets. They also retain their smooth, supple, “newly polished fret” feel much longer than normal frets.
If you don't play extremely much and tour constantly, they will last a lifetime. They are not indestructible, but pretty close.
The neck is also equipped with Luminlay side dots, self-illuminating fret markers. A godsend on dark stages.
The RGA20P1PB has an Ibanez Wizard neck profile. Wizard can best be described as a slightly thicker Super Wizard neck. It has the same flat fingerboard (400mmR), the same width and the same well-sanded frets as Super Wizard, but is slightly thicker. A neck for those who want what Ibanez is known for, an extremely fast and easy-to-play neck, but want a little more wood in their hands.
