Ibanez RGR5220M Prestige Guitar, Transparent Fluorescent Green, Bare Knuckle Pickups

Player's Perspective

Music Store Live is proud to offer up this Ibanez RGR5220M Prestige guitar.

Ibanez's Prestige series offers some of the best bang-for-your-buck in the hard rock/metal guitar world. This RG is perfect for anyone who wants superior craftsmanship and incredible playability on a guitar built for shredding. The design is simple but effective: two great humbuckers, a bridge that'll give you uncompromised sustain, unending whammy versatility, and intonation that always snaps back to where it should be, and a simple green finish that will get attention while still being somewhat subdued.

The sound of this axe is incendiary. It has tone that is crunchy, smooth, snarling and articulate even if it's covered in loads of saturation. Bare Knuckle Pickups are some of the best in the world at what they do and were the perfect choice to go into this axe. It's going to hit the front end of your amp hard and can take pedals without losing its own character and without losing definition in the notes.

The neck has that lightning fast, comfortable feel that Ibanez has perfected over the years. The fretwork is immaculate to help you achieve super low action for lightning shredding. If you need a guitar that won't slow you down, especially in the mid to upper registers, you'll love how the fingerboard responds. The birdseye maple is also beautiful to look at and has some killer figuring on it.

This can easily become your next lifelong shredder axe.

Manufacturer's Description

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 our new Ibanez Prestige line: Precision, Performance, and Playability. The combination of high-tech manufacturing techniques with old-world Japanese craftsmanship, true innovation in design and construction, and the incorporation of ideas and suggestions from musicians from around the world are the cornerstones of the Prestige production process.
