Ibanez - RG450QMB Transparent Grey Burst

Ibanez's RG450QMB Transparent Grey Burst is an eye-catcher with a quilted maple top that catches the light and reveals subtle reflections, over a Meranti body that provides balanced midrange and accurate bass, while remaining light to hold.

The Wizard III maple neck is thin and flat, making it easy to play fast and fluidly all over the neck, ideal for complex riffs and fast solos. The Jatoba fingerboard offers a slightly firm feel, with a clean response and generous sustain, while the white markers ensure clear identification on stage or in the studio. With its 24 jumbo frets, every note glides along easily, whether for melodic passages or powerful chords.

In terms of sound, this RG450QMB is equipped with Quantum H-S-H pickups: the ceramic neck and bridge humbuckers add power and precision, while the single Alnico pickup in the centre adds clear, nuanced textures.

The 5-way selector switch makes it easy to switch between all these tones, from crystal-clear clean to more aggressive saturation, to suit all rock and metal styles. The Edge-Zero II bridge and locking saddle ensure perfect tuning stability, even on the most pronounced bends and vibrato effects.

Designed for comfort and precision, the RG450QMB features 10.8 mm string spacing, ideal for picking and legato techniques. The neck, with its 648 mm pitch and 400 mm radius, offers fluid playability from nut to fret.

Every detail, from the neck profile to the progressive dimensions, is calibrated so that players can explore fast riffs, melodic solos and powerful grooves with confidence and comfort, both on stage and in the studio.
