Metal / Modern Guitar

The RGR5221-BTCB Prestige Black Transparent Charcoal Burst reveals a Super Strat silhouette sculpted to perfectly match the guitarist's body language, with its exclusive Black Charcoal Burst colour highlighted by a transparent varnish that enhances the ash top and solid mahogany body. Ibanez has added a 5-piece Super Wizard HP neck in maple and wenge, with a Macassar ebony fingerboard that promises an airy, precise glide over the 24 jumbo stainless steel frets with Prestige fret edge treatment. The combination of Bare Knuckle Brute Force pickups in HH splittable configuration and the coil-tap switch enrich every chord and note with an infinite tonal palette, giving free rein to your creativity and offering a subtle nod to metal and shred fans.

When you pick up the RGR5221-BTCB Prestige Black Transparent Charcoal Burst, you'll immediately discover the precision and fluidity of the Japanese Ibanez models.
Lee's Bare Knuckle Brute Force pickups plunge you into a world of astonishingly precise sound, combining power and clarity to carve out every riff or solo with clarity. The coil-tap switch, strategically placed between the volume and tone controls, offers an instant palette of tonal variations, allowing you to switch between fat and thinner sounds depending on the position you choose. The ergonomic layout of the three-position selector and volume knob gives you quick, intuitive access while you play, giving you total freedom to experiment with new combinations without interrupting your flow, and allowing you to explore the full dynamic range of the pickups, whether for sustained rhythms or more subtle melodic passages.






The splittable HH configuration with Bare Knuckle Brute Force neck and bridge transforms the sound of the RGR5221-BTCB Prestige Black Transparent Charcoal Burst into a versatile machine, capable of delivering saturated metal while retaining clarity and definition. The coil-tap switch offers a range of tonal variations, allowing you to obtain finer or more powerful sounds depending on your choice of pickup and the position of the three-position selector switch. Ibanez has chosen a Gibraltar Standard III bridge, revisited with an optimised baseplate and precise saddles, to ensure maximum vibration transmission and optimum playing comfort, whatever the style, from sweep picking to the most aggressive riffs.

The Black Charcoal Burst finish applied to the ash top and African mahogany body gives the guitar a deep, rich appearance, accentuating the natural grain of the wood and the Super Strat profile. The carefully positioned controls provide quick access to volume, tone and coil-tap switch, while the three-position selector allows multiple combinations of pickups to create unprecedented sonic nuances. Bonus from Ibanez: Luminlay side markers, visible even on stage with minimal lighting, for effortless, intuitive navigation along the neck.
