Ibanez RG Series Guitars
Ibanez RG Series Guitars
The flagship Ibanez model, the RG is among some of the most recognisable and legendary guitars of all time. Used by a huge variety of artists worldwide since its inception in 1987, it's widely considered to be the best-selling Superstrat-style guitar of all time.
The RG has seen a number of major overhauls, with a massive variety of models in production over the years. Despite the number of variations, the instrument has remained the same at its core. It's become a cornerstone of the Ibanez approach, embodying their knack for precision, speed and punchy tonal response that's just as popular now and it was in the '80s.
Some of its key design appointments include:
- Deep cutaways for easy high fret access
- 24-frets, meaning a huge range for shredders and soloists
- A flat fingerboard for a comfortable, ergonomic playing experience
- An ultra-thin neck for speedy playability; this has become an Ibanez design staple
- Many models, including the originals, boast Ibanez Edge locking tremolo units
A number of different models and configurations exist under the RG umbrella. Some of the more popular models include the RGA, with an arched body shape, and the RG7/RG8 extended range models. Whether you're a beginner looking to expand into hard rock/metal, a professional touring guitarist with shred chops, or anything in between, you'll find something to suit your needs in the RG range!
