Product Detail
The Ibanez RGD is the ultimate metal guitar. Down - tuning demands a special responsiveness that 'normal' guitars lack. To get the rich, thick tone from down - tuning, we extended the neck to a 26.5” scale, just long enough for great tone and still fast for soloing. The extra - deep cutaways let you easily reach the highest notes. Features include an innovative Mono - rail bridge for stability and sustain, a Macassar Ebony fretboard for tight lows and quick response, Fishman® Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups for an aggressive tone without noise, a super - thin Nitro Wizard 5pc Panga Panga/Walnut neck for increased sustain, Sub Zero treated frets for tough play, luminescent side dot inlays for dark stages, indestructible Schaller S - Lock strap lock pins, and Gotoh® MG - T locking machine heads for tuning stability and fast string - changing. Specs: Nitro Wizard 5pc neck, Ash body, Macassar Ebony fretboard with White Step off - set dot inlay, 24 Jumbo Sub Zero treated frets, Mono - rail bridge, 10.8mm string space, Fishman® Fluence pickups, factory tuning 1D,2A,3F,4C,5G,6D, D'Addario® EXL110 strings, .010/.013/.017/.026/.036/.046 string gauge, and black hardware.

Using your Ibanez RGD electric guitar is a breeze. First, make sure you've got the right strings on it - the D'Addario® EXL110 strings that come with it are a great choice. Tune it up using the Gotoh® MG - T locking machine heads for quick and stable tuning. When you start playing, you'll notice how easy it is to reach high notes thanks to the extra - deep cutaways. The luminescent side dot inlays will help you on dark stages. As for maintenance, keep the guitar in a case when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe the strings down after each use to prevent corrosion. The Sub Zero treated frets are tough, but avoid excessive force when bending strings. Also, check the tuning regularly, especially if you change the string gauge. With proper care, your Ibanez RGD will serve you well for a long time.
