Ibanez RG652AHMFX RG Prestige Guitar, Birdseye Maple Fretboard, Royal Plum Burst

Player's Perspective

Ibanez's Prestige series guitars offer some of the best craftsmanship in the hard rock/metal guitar world. This RG652 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 is the tried-and-true Air Norton and Tone Zone DiMarzio set of pickups that Ibanez tends to use on their RGs ranging from Premium to J. Custom, and for good reason - the combination of warmth and clarity in the Air Norton neck and the power and punch of the Tone Zone can cover any genre from jazz to death metal.

The Super Wizard neck has that super fast, comfortable feel that Ibanez has made iconic and perfected over the years. The Prestige-treated fretwork 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. Unlike most RGs, this one also features a hardtail bridge for a no-fuss playing experience and awesome tuning stability.

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