Ibanez RG5320 RG Prestige Guitar, Macassar Ebony Fingerboard, Cosmic Shadow

Player's Perspective

Ibanez's Prestige series guitars offer some of the best craftsmanship in the hard rock/metal guitar world. This top-of-the-line RG5320CSW in a totally out-of-this-world Cosmic Shadow finish is perfect for anyone who wants superior craftsmanship and incredible playability on a shred-ready instrument. Two pickups, great build design, and quality hardware, plain and simple.

The sound of this axe is incendiary. At the heart of the guitar are DiMarzio Fusion Edge pickups, which are Ibanez-exclusive. They rock hard with a lot of output but retain an amazing amount of tightness and clarity - a decidedly modern sound that has a very "clean" quality for a powerful high-output pickup. 

The Super Wizard neck has that super fast, comfortable feel that Ibanez has made iconic and perfected over the years. The Prestige-treated fretwork on the Stainless Steel frets is immaculate. If you need a guitar that won't slow you down, especially in the mid to upper registers, you'll love how this fingerboard responds. The Lo-Pro Edge bridge is the pinnacle of Gotoh's Edge tremolo design and will stay in tune forever.

A Prestige Ibanez RG can easily become your next lifelong shredding machine, and this one's no exception.

Details

The RG is the most recognizable and distinctive guitar in the Ibanez line. Three decades of metal have forged this high-performance machine, honing it for both speed and strength. Whether you favor a hardtail (fixed) bridge or our industry-leading locking tremolo system, the RG is a precision instrument.

There are three principles behind the Ibanez Prestige line: Precision, Performance, and Playability. Prestige combines high-tech manufacturing techniques with old-world Japanese craftsmanship, in order to achieve true innovation in design and construction. The series incorporates ideas and suggestions from musicians from around the world as the cornerstones of the Prestige production process.
