Ibanez RGD7521PB Electric Guitar

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, we 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:

- Heat-treatment increases the wood's stability, durability, water resistance and tolerance of temperature changes.
- Jatoba has a reddish brown color and produces a rich mid range with a crisp high end.
- Jumbo frets contribute to smooth playability, especially for single-note playing.
- The Poplar Burl top features an exotic wood grain and the Nyatoh body provides a rich mid-low end.
- The DiMarzio PAF7 pickups produce a sound that's both clean and open on the low notes and warm and rounded on the highs.
- The Gibraltar Standard II is a simple fixed bridge designed provide optimal transfer of each string's vibration and its smooth surface maximizes playing comfort.
- The coil tap switch adds sound and tonal variations for both pickups.
- Its extra long 26.5" scale and ability to accurately intonate heavier string gauges, make it the perfect beast for down-tuned metal.
