The RG is the most recognizable and distinctive guitar in the Ibanez line. Three decades of metal have forged this high-performance machine, honing it for both speed and strength. Whether you favor a hardtail (fixed) bridge or our industry-leading locking tremolo system, the RG is a precision instrument.

Ibanez builds guitars for players of all levels—from beginners to the most demanding masters of the instrument. Regardless of price, Ibanez always strives to offer the absolute best sound, style, and playability in its class. The Standard series incorporates all the staples the Ibanez brand is famous for, such as fast necks, floating trems, and high-octane distortion in a package that is available and accessible to most players.

Features

Mono-unit output jack
The mono-unit output jack is made of solid, durable material and is a single piece to avoid unwanted movement and loosening of the jack, which leads to contact failure or disconnection. This innovation allows for long term playing enjoyment and minimal maintenance.

F106 bridge
The F106 bridge enriches sustain. String height adjustment can be done easily and independently.

Jatoba Fretboard
Jatoba has a reddish brown color which produces a rich mid range with a crisp high end.

Wizard III Maple neck
Ibanez’s thin, flat and fast Wizard neck is strong and sturdy and offers unlimited playability and features a two-octave 24-fret fretboard for a wide tonal range.

Quantum pickups
The Quantum pickups provide accelerated bass response for exceptionally fast tracking of high-speed staccato riffing with crushing mid range and precise high-end articulation.

Switching System
When the pickup selector switch is in neck position, the neck pickup is selected. When the switch is between neck and center position, the neck humbucker is selected and is in parallel. When the switch is in center position, both neck and bridge pickups are selected. When the switch is in between center and bridge position, bridge side of the neck pickup and neck side of the bridge pickup are selected. When the switch is in bridge position, the bridge pickup is selected.
