Ibanez RG950FMZ Premium, Tiger Eye

Full Description

Flamed Maple Topped Basswood Body

The Premium RG Ibanez features a lightweight American basswood body topped with stunning flamed maple, creating a truly eye-catching aesthetic which is only enhanced by its tiger eye finish. The basswood tonewood is ideal for players wanting a beautifully balanced tone, while the addition of the maple enhances its natural brightness for a truly striking sound. Players will love the elegant contours and the comfortable performance, suitable for a range of playing styles. In addition, a double cutaway design offers easier access to the higher frets and flexibility across the whole fingerboard.

11-Piece Wizard Neck

The RG950FMZ Premium’s 11-piece neck is created from panga panga, maple, walnut, and purpleheart, creating a visually stunning aesthetic while enhancing its sturdiness for an iron-like construction. The combination of these tonewoods provide the guitar with a beautifully warm, sweet tonal characteristic, enhancing its natural resonance to create a truly stunning sustain. The smooth wizard profile, which is optimised for lead guitarists, offers a comfortably thin playing feel to deliver swift and nimble hand movements with ease.

Bound Panga Panga Fingerboard

This Premium Ibanez is equipped with a bound panga panga fingerboard, which has been designed with a smooth, natural finish for a comfortable playing experience. The tonewood provides the guitar with an excellent response, delivering extra layers of brightness and warmth for creating punchy mids and striking highs. It’s bound edges allow for a smooth play and fluid hand flexibility across the whole neck.

Powerful DiMarzio Trio

The Ibanez RG Guitar’s monstrous tone is achieved through the three powerful DiMarzio pickups, featuring an Air Norton humbucker, a The Tone Zone humbucker, and a True Velvet single-coil for the ultimate versatility. Use the Air Norton to create deep, warm tones with superb harmonics, or switching for The Tone Zone to produce a wide dynamic range with a powerful projection. Using the middle True Velvet single-coil provides a more balanced tone than the other two, perfect for times when extra clarity is needed. Use the volume, tone, and 5-way pickup selector to dial in the perfect sound for any situation.

Edge Zero II Tremolo

The Ibanez Edge Zero is a high performance double locking tremolo first introduced in 2010, featuring similarities with both the Lo-Pro Edge tremolo and the original Floyd Rose Tremolo. This design created a unique and extremely versatile floating tremolo system which provides an added range of playing capabilities and improved tuning stability. For the Edge Zero II model, Ibanez designed it with a lower profile to improve comfort, and added a stud locking function for superior tuning stability.
