Key Features
As a pioneer of guitars catering to the specific needs of Heavier playing styles, Ibanez has released 7- and 8-string models in the past. With the RGD series Ibanez have catered specifically for the needs of the heavier player. The demands of down-tuning require a specifically designed responsiveness not usually found in "normal" guitars. To optimize for the rich, desirable thickness of tone that down-tuning produces, Ibanez extended the neck by one inch, to a 26.5" scale -longer-than-standard, yet not overly long- still sized as a "fast" neck for speed soloing.

Product Ref: 30633
Heavy rock and metal guitarists usually like to have their guitars hung low, and the 'sharpshaped' RGD body achieves good balance and easier access to high frets for low-slung players. Comfortable access to the neck's highest notes is accomplished by extra-deep cutaways.
Wizard III Maple neck
Ibanez's thin, flat, and fast, yet strong and sturdy, Wizard neck offers unlimited playability for demanding players, and features a two-octave 24-fret fret board for wide tonal range.
Scoop Cut
Besides lightening the weight of the body, this bold horn cut provides full, comfortable access to the higher frets. The taper of these horns greatly improves player comfort at the upper end up the fretboard. These beveled edges are another of the many innovations that have come out of our relationships with Ibanez artists.
CAP-VK Pickups
Pickup magnet strength plays a crucial role in pickups designed specifically for down-tuning. Maximizing the vibration of heavy strings depends on proper selection of the pickup's magnet. Additionally, care has been taken to ensure that the output at the neck is perfectly balanced with high output at the bridge.
Edge-Zero II w/ZPS3Fe
The Zero Point System in the Edge-Zero II makes tuning easier and faster as well as providing stable tuning for long performances, all while maintaining smooth tremolo playing. Engineered to remove all points of friction, ZPS is the smoothest Ibanez Back Stop ever. Even when a string breaks loss of tuning is minimized. For players that prefer a full floating system, simply remove the stop bar. The innovative use of an additional outer pair of springs provides easier tuning and noticeably greater tuning stability than the traditional floating tremolo.
ZPS (Zero Point System)
No friction points make the ZPS the smoothest Ibanez Back Stop ever.
An additional outer pair of springs provides easier tuning and better tuning stability than the traditional floating tremolo-plus the other strings will remain in tune if a string breaks.
Switchable To Floating Trem
One of the best ZPS features! Just remove the stop bar and the ZPS easily changes to floating trem operation.
Manually Adjustable Spring System
Spring tension can be quickly set by thumb. There's no need for a hex wrench.
