This professional-grade electric guitar, a standout in the Ibanez line, is the result of three decades of metal music evolution, crafted for both speed and strength.

The Ibanez Prestige line is built on three principles: Precision, Performance, and Playability. Combining high-tech manufacturing techniques with traditional Japanese craftsmanship, the Prestige line embodies true innovation in design and construction. This series is a testament to global collaboration, incorporating ideas and suggestions from musicians worldwide into its production process.

The RG5170B features a Super Wizard 5-piece Maple/Wenge neck for extra-smooth playing and a bound Macassar Ebony fretboard, known for producing tight lows and mid-range tones, along with a strong attack in the highs and quick response with rich sustain.

The jumbo stainless steel frets with Prestige fret edge treatment not only boast excellent corrosion resistance but also offer quick response, good articulation when playing chords, and clear tone when playing single notes. The Prestige Fret Edge Treatment ensures effortlessly fast playing.

The solid basswood body of the RG5170B delivers a natural and flat tone, while the Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker Alnico / Fluence Single Width / Fluence Modern Humbucker Ceramic pickups offer an aggressive tone and a powerful attack without excess noise. The Fluence Single Width pickup provides a warm, clear tone and stunning punch, featuring the same quiet operation as the humbucker.

The RG5170B also features Gotoh machine heads for super precision, smooth feel, and minimal back lush, and the legendary Lo-Pro Edge tremolo bridge for maximum playing comfort with its streamlined profile and recessed fine tuners. The locking studs contribute to tuning stability.

The Fishman Fluence Voicing switch allows the pickups to switch from a modern, active high output sound to a crisp, clean, and fluid sound. The guitar comes with an Ibanez hardshell case for extreme protection of your beloved instrument.

In conclusion, the RG Prestige Series RG5170B Electric Guitar is a versatile and reliable choice for musicians seeking to play a wide range of styles, backed by the well-respected Ibanez brand known for producing high-quality instruments.
