Ibanez RGD Iron Label RGDIX6PB Electric Guitar, Ebony Fretboard, Surreal Black 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, we 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.

Nitro Wizard Neck
Legendary Super-thin, ultra-playable neck with road-tested durability.

Ebony fretboard
The tight grain of Ebony provides a smooth, dense playing surface that produces a tight low-end with the quick response needed for metal.

DiMarzio Fusion Edge Pickups
Through close collaboration between Ibanez and DiMarzio-Fusion Edge pickups have been engineered to produce a powerful, distinctive tone with a crisp, cutting high end and a tight, compressed bottom end, minus any muddy mid-range.
