Ibanez RG Iron Label 7 String

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 Ibanez's industry-leading locking tremolo system, the RG is a precision instrument.

Iron Label
The Iron Label line was originally developed with metal and nothing but metal in mind. Ibanez modded and tweaked until they got to the heaviest-hitting metal axes they've ever built. They're purposefully spartan, and you won't find a feature here that doesn't contribute directly to a bone rattling, earth shattering tones these guitars pump out. Carrying forward that same philosophy, the next generation of Iron Label guitars take this raw metal energy to a completely new level. They sport totally blacked out looks, and their supercharged electronics amounting to some of the heaviest-swinging metal axes Ibanez has ever produced.

Wizard II 3pc Maple neck
Ibanez's thin, flat and fast Wizard neck is strong and sturdy and offers unlimited playability for demanding players.

Ebony fretboard
Ebony produces tight lows and mid range with a strong attack in the high end and features a quick response and rich sustain.

Jumbo frets
Jumbo frets contribute to smooth playability, especially for single-note playing.

Nyatoh body
Nyatoh used as the body wood provides a rich mid-low end.

DiMarzio® D Activator™ pickups
DiMarzio® D Activator™ pickups have a powerful, clean, and open sound with excellent harmonic overtones and very tight low-end response.

Gotoh® machine heads
Gotoh® machine heads provide superior precision, a smooth feel, and excellent tuning accuracy.

Edge-Zero II tremolo
The Edge Zero II bridge design features a lower profile tremolo for playing comfort and stud lock function for stable tuning.

dyna-MIX10 switching system with Alter Switch
The dyna-MIX 10 offers ten sound variations and can easily switch from humbucker and single coil modes with the mini switch. The power Tap mode provides a realistic single coil sound despite its two humbucker pickup layout.

Luminescent side dots
The luminescent side dot position marks make it easy for players to see fretboard position marks when performing on dark stages.
