Gain some prestige

The pride of Ibanez. Prestige models are made for a single purpose: to give you the most powerful and capable sonic weapon you could ever dream of. Made to exacting standards by Ibanez's most celebrated luthiers, these music machines excel in every way a guitar can. Crafted in Japan, the level of detail and uniqueness in each model is unmatched. From the headstock to the strap button, expect nothing short of world-class quality.

Full Throttle Fishman Fluence

Get ready. Fishman Fluence Modern pickups bring the RG5170B proudly into the realm of superior tone. Using cutting edge technology and ceramic magnets, they produce sounds which are full of attack and aggression, filling high gain tones with richness and saturation. The pickup selector lets you swiftly switch between the neck, bridge, and middle pickups, so you can alter your tone on the fly. They are world renowned, emitting virtually no unwanted hum or noise.

The ultimate pickups. Two voicing options, which can be activated with the voicing switch, allow you to access two unique sounds. The first voicing creates an active, high output tone which will scream with an incredibly tight bass response and mountains of crunch. The second mode emits a passive, fluid tone which is well rounded and also has plenty of high output goodness. Armed with these sonic tools, you'll have everything you need to push your sound and performance to perfection.

Neck wizardry

Can you feel the sorcery? The RG5170B Prestige's Super Wizard HP maple/wenge neck is one impressive creation, providing you with dreamy manoeuvrability. Ibanez are more than well known for their thin, shred-friendly necks, but this raises the bar. Boasting Prestige fret edge treatment for smooth fretting, you'll have total freedom across the entire fretboard. Your hand will skim down the neck like a meteorite, allowing you to play as fast and aggressively as you desire. The bright, dense resonance of the neck also gives every note you play even more crispness and authority, delivering the ultimate sonic impact.

Ebony excellence

Pure majesty. Ebony is undoubtedly one of the finest fretboard materials in the world. Your fingers will feel caressed by its smoothness and flawless feel. Fret movements will be natural and free whilst your fingers glide along effortlessly. Offering a bright resonance of its own as well as plenty of note sustain, your music will be ablaze with astonishing articulation and bold bite. Reach your full potential.

Lo-Pro vibrato

Lock and load. A professional standard Lo Pro Edge bridge locks your strings in a vice grip. It also allows for unlimited whammy bar action, so you can put some volcanic vibrato into your riffs. There's also a premium hard case included, which is incredibly sturdy and ensures that your guitar will be safe and secure whenever you're transporting it. Topped off with a stunning, prestigious finish, this special model represents the pinnacle of modern guitar design.
