The Prestige family is a Japanese-made, high-end line of Ibanez guitars, manufactured under three principles, 'Precision, Performance, Playability'. Currently, many players in the hard rock/metal world are choosing fixed bridges. In response to this, Ibanez is pleased to introduce more hardtail options into the Prestige RG series line. To achieve the three principles of the Prestige line and to appeal to the rock/metal scene with this guitar, it uses the Gibraltar Standard II bridge. This bridge promotes optimal transfer of each strings vibration. A Super Wizard HP 5pc Maple/Walnut neck and the meticulous Prestige fret edge treatment provide extra-smooth playing. Also, the DiMarzio Air Norton and Tone Zone pickups offer depth, warmth and rich dynamics when combined with the 5-way pickup switch. Additionally, incredible tuning stability is achieved with the use of Gotoh Magnum Lock machineheads. Hardshell case included.
