Ibanez RGD Prestige Series RGD2127FX 7-String Electric Guitar

The Prestige RGD2127FX 7-String Electric Guitar is one of Ibanez's ultimate metal machines. It's precision made in Japan with prestige craftsmanship by Ibanez's finest luthiers. The demands of downtuning require a specifically designed responsiveness not found in normal guitars. To optimize for the rich, desirable thickness of tone that downtuning produces, Ibanez extended the neck by one inch to a 26.5" scale - longer than standard, yet not overly long. The lighting-fast Prestige Wizard HP neck is ultra-smooth, thin and strong, including KTS Titanium reinforcement and is still considered a fast neck for speed soloing. Extra-deep cutaways grant comfortable access to the neck's highest notes.

The RGD2127FX Prestige electric guitar comes equipped with custom-designed pickups for downtuning. These pickups are specially designed for capturing more low end by regenerating a wider tonal range. Instead of losing the low end, they output it with rich, harmonic tone. The V87 bridge humbucker uses alnico magnets to produce a rich harmonic tone with clarity in the low end. The V77 neck pickup's ceramic magnets produce a smooth and dynamic tone with warm midrange.

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 Ibanez's relationships with their artists.

Collet Knob
Designed for great looks and engineered to avoid the risk of coming off while you're playing. The non-slip functionality gives this collet knob accurate axis rotation and control for any player.
