Ibanez RG5121 RG Prestige Guitar, Bound Macassar Ebony Fretboard, Burgundy Metallic Flat
PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE
We're stoked to bring you this gorgeous Ibanez Prestige RG5121 in a beautiful Burgundy Metallic Flat finish with a natural mahogany back!
Ibanez's flagship Japan-made Prestige series RGs offer some of the best bang-for-your-buck value in the hard rock/metal guitar world. This RG is perfect for anyone who wants superior craftsmanship and incredible playability on a rock n' roll axe. This one is equipped with two revolutionary Fishman Fluence Modern active humbuckers that allow this guitar to have 2 distinct and very musical voices.
The Super Wizard neck has that iconic super fast, comfortable feel that Ibanez has perfected over the years, a profile that some of the guys here at the shop who don't usually like thin profile necks actually do seem to like - there's just something special about the width that makes it comfortable for all players. 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.
This can easily become your next lifelong shredder axe!
