RG Series
The most recognizable and distinctive guitar in the Ibanez line, three decades of metal have forged the RG series, honing it for both speed and strength. Whether you favour a hardtail (fixed) bridge or our industry-leading locking treelo system, the RG is a precision instrument.
RG Iron Label
With metal and nothing but metal in mind, we modded and tweaked until we got to the heaviest sounding metal axes ever built. Purposefully spartan, you won’t find a feature here that doesn’t contribute directly to rattling bones or waking the dead.
Artcore Expressionist
Jazz fans will recognize the Ibanez original Super 58 custom pickups - the preferred pickup of George Benson, Pat Metheny and John Scofield - which perform well in a variety of situations. Warm, balanced articulation and excellent response characterize the Super 58 Custom.
