RGs are built for speed, comfort, tone and sustain, and a 24-Fret style of play for creativity and expression. The RG-series grew up with the Metal genre and now sets the standard twenty years later for Metal and Rock players. The Maple fretboard provide crisp, bright highs and strong upper mids. 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. 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.
