Ibanez - RGR662AHBF WK Prestige

This RG Prestige is clearly aimed at guitarists looking for immediate response, great stability and a fluid feel throughout the neck.

The five-piece Super Wizard neck in maple and walnut has a slim, even profile, offering a fast, natural grip that's particularly useful for modern techniques, fast progressions and extended positions. The 430 mm radius contributes to this feeling of freedom, while maintaining excellent chord accuracy.

The ash body provides a clean attack and good definition at the top end of the spectrum, while maintaining a balanced sustain. Combined with the rosewood fingerboard, the overall effect remains consistent, with well-centred midrange and a dynamic response that's equally at home with clean tones or heavy saturation.

The pair of DiMarzio Air Norton pickups in the neck position and The Tone Zone pickups in the bridge offer a broad palette of sounds, from warm, detailed textures to more powerful, dense registers, with no loss of legibility.

The Gibraltar Standard III bridge provides excellent vibration transfer and reliable stability, while the Gotoh MG-T self-locking tuning machines make string changes easy and tuning secure.

Like all Japanese Prestige guitars, this RGR662AHBF benefits from special attention to the frets, with edge treatment that greatly enhances playing comfort. Supplied with its hard case, it's a serious work tool, designed to last and to accompany professional practice.
