The RGD is Ibanez's ultimate metal machine. The demands of down-tuning require a specifically designed responsiveness not found in ”normal” guitars. To optimize for the rich, desirable thickness of tone that down-tuning produces, we extended the neck by one inch to a 26.5” scale. Longer-than standard yet not overly long. The neck is still considered a ”fast” neck for speed soloing. Extra-deep cutaways grant comfortable access to the necks highest notes.
- Axe Design Lab -
Ibanez has been creating innovations which do not only fit the unique demands of players from that period, but also eventually turn into industrial standards, such as 7 string, 8 string and Multi scale guitars. All these started from our attitude to be “Innovative, Cutting-Edge and Pioneer”. Axe Design Lab is the series fully represents this attitude.

****Special Features****
- Multi-scale frets (27”/25.5”)
Using the trapezoidal 27”/25.5” scale, its multiscale neck construction provides an equalized tension that creates a lively, open tone. Designed for playability, the slants are matched with the player’s hand angles to facilitate quick playing along with the flatling on the 12th fret. By setting the horizontal point close to bridge’s side, shredding in high frets is easy.
