Ibanez - RGT1220PBK-COL Cosmic Blue Low Gloss + Housse

The Wizard III neck on the Ibanez RGT1220PBK-COL is worthy of its own fan club. Carved from a 7-piece maple/walnut sandwich and extending through the body of the guitar, it combines rigidity and fluidity with an almost obsessive attention to detail. Its slim D-shaped profile fits the hand naturally, while allowing you to take off technically without tiring.
Add 24 Premium-finish jumbo stainless steel frets and a tightly grained ebony fingerboard, and you've got a perfectly smooth highway for both high-speed solos and more nuanced phrasing. All this neck needs is your fingers and a little sweat.

Beneath its Cosmic Blue Low Gloss varnish, the RGT1220PBK-COL hides a combination of woods with a formidable balance. The body, made of American basswood wings and adorned with a poplar burr top, ensures a well-balanced tonal balance: warmth, precision and sustain come together without stepping on each other's strings.
It's the kind of assembly that reacts immediately to your playing, without superfluous filtering. And as a bonus: a sculpted back to make your ribcage feel right at home.

The electronics section is all about controlled generosity. With its two DiMarzio humbuckers (Air Norton on the neck, The Tone Zone on the bridge), the Ibanez RGT1220PBK-COL gives you a spectrum of sound that alternates between powerful slaps and mellow roundness.
But the real twist comes from the dyna-MIX10 system: 10 tonal variations, a mini Alter switch to go from fat to sharp... and an ability to imitate simple windings that would make your vintage Strat blush. Just one volume knob, one tone, and you decide what happens next.

We rarely talk about it, but the hardware can make or break a guitar.
On the RGT1220PBK-COL, every mechanical element has been thought out to be as good as the rest. The Edge Ibanez vibrato lets you take dizzying plunges without losing a single ounce of tuning, while the Gotoh tuners ensure stability and discretion.
The locking saddle and cosmo black finish complete the sober, serious picture, without the bling. You might just want to spend the evening turning the knobs, just for the fun of it.

Even though it comes with a gig bag, this guitar isn't just for show.
It's designed to go out, play, live and probably wear out wherever your forearm lands too often. And frankly, that's a pretty good sign.
With its luminescent dots on the edge of the fretboard, it's also designed for those moments when the stage gets dark and your fingers are looking for their way.
We can already see you plugging it in and smirking. You're quite right.
