A sleek shredder with dual DiMarzios and 10 different tones.
The Ibanez RG Premium marries innovation and craftsmanship to create an electric guitar ready for the stage. This iconic metal machine, honed for speed, features high-output DiMarzio humbuckers and advanced switching for a broad tonal palette. Its Wizard neck and premium components offer smooth, reliable performance. The RG Premium brings together decades of development into a modern instrument designed to inspire.
High-Output Pickups Provide Versatile Tones With the DiMarzio Humbuckers
The Ibanez RG wields a pair of hot-rodded DiMarzio humbuckers for everything from singing leads to crunchy rhythms. The Air Norton neck pickup produces full lows, strong mids and singing highs. For searing distortion, the Tone Zone bridge pickup packs ceramic magnets and hot output. Together, they cover a huge tonal range. Coil splitting and power tap mode expand the sonic palette even further.
Fast, Slim Wizard Neck Offers Smooth Playability
This guitar's thin, flat Wizard III neck provides effortless playability across its smooth ebony fingerboard. Its profile and jumbo frets facilitate speed and accuracy when soloing or riffing. The neck's multi-piece maple and walnut construction ensures rock-solid stability even during extreme use. Plus, the 24-fret access lets you shred even higher.
Premium Components and Craftsmanship for Reliability
Only premium-grade parts go into the RG for exceptional performance and longevity. Gotoh locking tuners and a Mono-rail bridge keep it in tune through diving whammy work. The fret edge treatment creates a silky feel during rapid runs. Neck-through construction produces singing sustain. This thoughtfully engineered instrument provides the durability and reliability needed for the stage and studio.
Neck-Through Construction for Sustain and Accessibility
The neck-through design offers benefits in both sound and ergonomics. It allows unimpeded vibration for singing sustain when holding notes. Upper-fret access is smooth thanks to the jointless construction. It provides everything lead players need to craft solos with clarity and expression.
Advanced Switching Options Expand Tonal Possibilities
Sonically, this guitar can transform with the flip of a switch. The dyna-MIX10 system accesses 10 distinct voicings for the pickups. Coil splitting, power tap mode and phase reversal further increase the tonal options. You can craft anything from glassy cleans to roaring distortion.
