Ibanez RGDIX6MPB Iron Label 6-String Electric Guitar, 24 Frets, Nitro Wizard 3-Piece Neck, DiMarzio Fusion Edge Passive Pickup, Birdseye Maple Fretboard, Surreal Blue Burst

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.
