Ibanez RG1027PBF Premium 7-String, Cerulean Blue Burst

Full Description

Ibanez Premium Guitars

The Ibanez Premium range of guitars feature many of the same specifications as the more expensive Prestige line, at a more accessible price-point. This creates truly professional-quality guitars that deliver the ultimate balance of price and performance. They are ideal for developing players and professionals alike, whether in the studio or on the stage.

Exotic Tonewoods

The RG1027PBF is crafted from basswood, which is a lightweight and versatile tonewood. Basswood allows you to sculpt your tone with the pickup selection and controls, and it will adapt to a wide range of sounds and playing styles with a balanced frequency response. The body is topped with exotic poplar burl; this is a 7mm top (not just a laminate) and adds a stand-out aesthetic with the cerulean blue burst finish. The top also adds additional high-frequency overtones and helps bring out a wider harmonic content in your sound. The neck is crafted from 11 pieces of panga panga, maple, walnut, and purpleheart. This mixture creates a stable and resonant addition to your tone, as well as a unique look on the back.

Fast Playability

Every specification of the RG1027PBF is honed towards an effortless playing feel. The neck is crafted with the thin Ibanez Wizard profile and mounted with 24 jumbo frets for improved finger control over the strings. The fingerboard has a very flat 400mm radius for a thoroughly modern playing feel that will enable the most technically demanding styles of playing. The frets are stainless-steel and finished with the Ibanez premium fret edge treatment. Not only does this give the frets enhanced durability and a brighter, more resonant tone, it also gives them a wonderfully smooth feel under the fingers.

Pro-Quality Hardware for Enhanced Stability

The neck is crafted from 11 pieces of wood, which gives it enhanced strength and resilience to changing humidity conditions. Gotoh MG-T locking tuners ensure you'll be able to get tuned-up accurately, while the locking design means string changes can be done very quickly. The Tight-End R bridge is perfectly designed to anchor with rigidness and accuracy. Luminescent side dot inlays are another nice touch that gives you enhanced visibility on dark stages.

DiMarzio PAF Pickups

The DiMarzio pickups are wired with a 5-way switch giving you access to humbucker, single coil, and combined-coil sounds. This combination performs equally well with clean and overdriven sounds. The DiMarzio pickups deliver a great overall sound with clean and open low notes, and warm and rounded high notes.
