With the Ibanez j.custom RG8520-SDE Sodalite Ibanez creates a top-class electric guitar for rock and metal that combines chic looks with great playability and multi-faceted sounds. Here, Ibanez relies on a bolt-on five-piece maple-wenge neck with Macassar ebony fretboard and fast "j.custom Super Wizard" profile, in addition to the mahogany body with flamed maple top. Two DiMarzio Fusion Edge humbucker on the guitar amp promise modern rock and metal tones with tight precision even with drop tunings and high distortion. Naturally an Ibanez Lo-Pro Edge Double-Locking-Tremolo and Gotoh tuners complete the j.custom RG8520-SDE Sodalite by Ibanez.

Noble design and agile handling
When designing the j.custom RG8520-SDE Sodalite, Ibanez pays special attention to high-quality woods and comfortable handling. Accordingly, the body made of African mahogany carries a Flamed maple top in AAA quality, while the bolt-on neck comes up with a particularly high stability thanks to the five-piece maple-wenge construction. The extremely flat "j.custom Super Wizard" neck profile, in conjunction with the flat radius of the Macassar ebony fingerboard, creates smooth playability up to the 24th jumbo-fret.
With two split DiMarzio Fusion Edge humbuckers, the Ibanez j.custom RG8520 electric guitar delivers multi-faceted, characterful rock and metal tones.
DiMarzio Fusion Edge Pickups
The electrical sound conversion of the Ibanez j.custom RG8520-SDE Sodalite is done by two DiMarzio Fusion Edge humbucker with powerful ceramic magnets. Specially tuned to modern styles of rock and metal, the pickups convince with a tight bass foundation and crisp highs, so that even high-gain sounds and drop tunings are represented absolutely precisely. Via the mini-switch between the volume and tone controls, both humbucker can also be split, so that extremely transparent Single-coil sounds expand the sound spectrum of the RG8520 electric guitar.
Gotoh tuners guarantee a precise tuning of the electric guitar.
Ibanez Lo-Pro Edge Tremolo and Gotoh tuners
Last but not least, the Ibanez j.custom RG8520-SDE Sodalite comes with a high-quality and reliable Hardware-equipment. The bridge is the classic Ibanez Lo-Pro Edge tremolo, which offers smooth handling and an absolute tuning stability even with extensive whammy bar acrobatics thanks to the double-locking design. Behind the Locking-nut six Gotoh tuners guarantee a precise tuning at the headstock. In addition, Gotoh strap locks hold the Ibanez j.custom RG8520-SDE Sodalite securely to the guitar strap.
