Ibanez RGD61 Nyatoh Body and Ebony Fretboard - Black Aurora Burst Matte

The RGD is Ibanez's ultimate metal machine. The demands of down-tuning require a specifically designed responsiveness not found in ”normal” guitars. To optimize for the rich, desirable thickness of tone that down-tuning produces, Ibanez extended the neck by one inch to a 26.5” scale. Longer-than standard yet not overly long. The neck is still considered a ”fast” neck for speed soloing. Extra-deep cutaways grant comfortable access to the necks highest notes.

Features

• Ibanez's thin, flat and fast Wizard III Roasted Maple neck is strong and sturdy and offers unlimited playability and features a two-octave 24-fret fretboard for a wide tonal range.
• Macassar Ebony produces tight lows and mid range along with strong attack in the highs and quick response with rich sustain.
• Jumbo frets contribute to smooth playability, especially for single-note playing.
• Nyatoh used as the body wood provides a rich mid-low end.
• The Fishman® Fluence™ Modern Humbucker pickups provide an aggressive tone and a powerful attack without excess noise.
• The Gotoh® MG-T locking machine heads achieve incredible tuning stability, cutting down string-changing time.
• Designed for both stability and sustain, the innovative Ibanez Mono-Rail bridge minimizes cross-talk between strings
• The Voicing switch allows the pickups to switch from a modern, active high output sound to a crisp, clean and fluid sound.
• The luminescent side dot position marks make it easy for players to see fretboard position marks when performing on dark stages.
• Its extra long 26.5” scale and ability to accurately intonate heavier string gauges, make it the perfect beast for down-tuned metal.
