Modern metal guitar in RG design
A top-notch metal guitar, the Ibanez Prestige RG652AHB-WK Weathered Black not only offers brute sounds, but also adds a sleek, gritty look to the classic RG design. Built in Japan, the RG not only features an ash body wrapped in matte black, but also a fast "Super Wizard HP" neck with reversed headstock. On the amp, DiMarzio Fusion Edge humbuckers also provide modern metal tones that maintain tremendous tightness even during drop tunings and present each note with sharply defined contour. Last but not least, Ibanez equips the Prestige RGR652AHB-WK Weathered Black with an Edge Double-Locking Tremolo for detuning-free implementation of dive bombs and squeals.
The Ibanez Prestige RGR652AHB-WK Weathered Black convinces with its sinister look and first-class metal sounds.
Agile playing characteristics
A modern-designed guitar for rock and metal, the Prestige RGR652 naturally impresses with excellent handling that makes even the most advanced and complex playing techniques come off with ease. The razor-sharp contoured ash body promises unobstructed access to the highest registers of the bolt-on maple-walnut neck with wide Cutaways and the All Access Neck Joint. The flat and, with 43 mm nut width, pleasantly wide "Super Wizard HP" neck profile also fits comfortably in the hand, so that every riff or solo succeeds on the 24-fret Macassar ebony fingerboard.
DiMarzio Fusion Edge Humbucker
As pickup for the Prestige RGR652AHB-WK Ibanez chooses two DiMarzio Fusion Edge humbuckers, whose open, white coil bodies elegantly contrast the matte black Finish. Specially designed for the modern sounds of rock and metal, the passive ceramic humbuckers convince at the guitar amplifier with a tight sound image, whose crisp Attack and tight bass foundation guarantee a razor-sharp representation of every note played, even at drop tunings and maximum gain. The 5-way switch also calls up the pickup in different circuit variations, so that together with the volume and tone pots, a wide variety of tonal colors are available.
Edge Double-Locking Tremolo
As an official metal guitar, the Ibanez RGR652AHB-WK Weathered Black naturally comes with an Edge Double-Locking Tremolo. While its smooth response allows for buttery-smooth implementation of dive-bombs and similar advanced lead techniques, the strings clamped to the headstock and bridge always maintain the correct tuning. Gotoh tuners on the distinctive inverted headstock also precisely tune the electric guitar.
