Ibanez RGD61-BAM Electric- Black Aurora Burst Matte

The Ibanez RGD is the ultimate metal machine, engineered for the demanding world of down-tuning. Unlike standard guitars, the RGD is specifically designed to handle the thick, powerful tones produced by lower tunings. Featuring a 26.5” scale length, this extended neck offers the ideal balance between sustain and playability, providing a rich, full sound without sacrificing speed. The neck is still slim and fast, making it perfect for lightning-fast solos, while the deep cutaways allow effortless access to the highest frets.

Key Features of the Ibanez RGD:

• Wizard III Roasted Maple Neck: Ibanez's renowned Wizard III neck is ultra-thin, flat, and fast, offering exceptional playability. The neck’s strength and sturdiness are complemented by a two-octave, 24-fret fretboard that offers a wide tonal range.
• Macassar Ebony Fretboard: Known for its tight low-end response and strong attack in the mid and high ranges, Macassar Ebony enhances your playing with rich sustain and quick response.
• Jumbo Frets: The jumbo frets provide smooth playability, ideal for fast, single-note runs and precise string bending.
• Nyatoh Body: The Nyatoh body wood adds a rich, resonant mid-low end, perfect for heavy riffing and full-bodied sound.
• Fishman® Fluence™ Modern Humbucker Ceramic Pickups: Delivering an aggressive tone with a powerful attack, these pickups eliminate unwanted noise while offering unparalleled clarity and articulation.
• Gotoh® MG-T Locking Machine Heads: These high-quality locking tuners ensure superb tuning stability, making string changes quicker and easier.
• Mono-Rail Bridge: The innovative Mono-Rail bridge reduces cross-talk between strings, offering optimal sustain and string stability.
• Fishman® Fluence™ Voicing Switch (Push/Pull): The Voicing switch on the volume control allows you to toggle between a modern, high-output active tone and a crisp, clean, fluid sound.
• Luminescent Side Dots: Ideal for dark stages, the luminescent side dot position markers help you keep track of your fretboard position during live performances.

Special Features:

• 26.5” Scale Length: Designed for down-tuned metal, the 26.5” scale provides exceptional intonation for heavier string gauges, making it the ideal choice for aggressive, down-tuned playing.

With its tailored design, the Ibanez RGD is the go-to instrument for serious metal players, offering unmatched tone, playability, and stability for all your down-tuning needs.
