Ibanez

Description

As the crown jewel of the Ibanez line, the Prestige designation paints a vivid picture of the passion and pride of Japanese luthiery. These guitars, produced exclusively in Japan, have earned worldwide acclaim for their exemplary craftsmanship, superb quality and numerous innovations. Manifested here in the classic Ibanez RG format, the RG657PB Prestige is an instrument worthy of its position as cornerstone of the Ibanez legacy.

The RG657PB features a Mahogany body with a handsomely figured Poplar Burl top. A Rosewood fretboard and exclusive 5-piece Maple/Walnut Super Wizard High-Performance neck provide exceptional playability and rock solid stability even under the most extreme playing conditions.

DiMarzio Air Norton, True Velvet, and The Tone Zone pickups, along with 5-way switch, were chosen for the inspiring way they complement each other to create a wide pallet of tonal options that add fire, retain clarity, and improve sustain. The masterpiece Edge bridge offers exceptional tuning stability, precise intonation adjustment, and playing comfort.

Hardshell case included.

    This guitar played like you would expect an Ibanez to play...fantastic. Loved the Tone Zone and Air Norton pickups. The only problem was the finish. It is rough and easily flaked off. I had it within a week it had flaked off in spots to bare wood. I don't know if I got a defective one or what but I couldn't believe a Prestige would do that. I feel like it needed a coat of laquer over the finish to protect it.

  • I would definitely buy this product again.

    This guitar is perfect in every way. The look, feel, and sound are impeccable. This is a higher-end guitar, and it plays as advertised. I play it through a 1983 Ampeg SS-150 Combo tube amp. The clean and distorted sound is awesome!

  • Fantastic guitar!

    If you like Ibanez guitars, this is the top guitar in the RG series. Everything is good in this guitar. I have seen some people giving bad reviews to some prestige models. It is very hard to believe that anything in this guitar deserves something less than 5 stars. If you are into the shredding genre/style, this is the guitar for you.
