Ibanez RG652AHMFX Prestige, Royal Plumb Burst - Secondhand

Full Description

Slick playability

One of the most eye-catching attributes of this guitar is its wonderfully sleek design. Not only does it look exquisite, but such a slim and smooth construction also lends itself to a superb playing experience. A Super Wizard HP neck has been crafted from maple and walnut, and it is strikingly thin. Yet it is also unbelievably sturdy. Fitting comfortably in your grip, the neck allows your fingers more freedom to roam the fretboard than ever before, giving you space to perfect those complex techniques.

The neck is attached to a gorgeous ash body, showcased with a magical plum burst finish. Ash is conveniently lightweight, meaning you can play for hours without feeling that dreaded strain. And just like the neck, the body's amazingly thin shape has been designed for vigorous strumming and expressive playing. Two deeply scooped horns then provide wondrous accessibility to the higher frets and encourage skilful pitch bends, hammer-ons and other intricate techniques. Soar right to the top of the fretboard thanks its smooth maple finish and never experience any hindrance when showing off on those solos.

A balanced tonal undercurrent

Lose yourself in the natural sonic goodness exuded by a gorgeous tonewood combination. An astounding ash body delivers resonance that makes for a full-bodied sound whilst its scooped midrange results in a balanced yet bright tone. Perfect for dynamic performances, ash offers superbly quick attack and ensures every note is wonderfully defined. It really is an exceptional tonewood and is ideal for clean, articulate sound projection.

Similarly, maple, which is used for the neck, also provides fantastic clarity. Minimising any feedback, maple enables you to go wild with speedy playing, absent of any muddiness - you don’t need that burden on your sound. It is bright, loud, and brilliantly focused. And even when you're playing complex chords, maple has the ability to separate each and every note to give you definition and tasty textures. Accompanying maple, walnut also delivers some astonishing tonal qualities, giving you the ultimate neck tonewood duo. Its brightness pairs well with maple and it grows more beautiful with age. Walnut becomes warmer the more you play it, levelling out the pronounced higher frequencies brought by the other woods. With the Ibanez RG652AHMFX you'll have a lifetime of majestic playing.

Versatile pickups

Taking centre stage when it comes to thrilling sound are the two DiMarzio pickups. The Air Norton loaded at the neck delivers gorgeous depth and warmth whilst still encompassing cool harmonics that are rarely found in a neck pickup. Its innovative magnetic structure then minimises any string pull, so you can experience glistening sustain as well as the incredible attack needed for picking action.

At the bridge, you'll find The Tone Zone. Its name says it all. It delivers a wider dynamic range than your average high-output pickup, so you needn't worry about volume. Better still, it responds to your playing, producing immense power with vigorous picking and a mellower sound with softer picking. Immerse yourself in a full-bodied sound thanks to The Tone Zone's enhancement of low range frequencies. Dual-resonance coils also offer beautiful overtones, so you can be sure that every chord will sound massive.

Make full use of the volume and tone controls. They allow you to sculpt your sound according to your own unique taste, resulting in a truly distinctive tone. The pickup selector switch then ensures you can flick between the two pickups in a way that doesn’t disrupt your playing. Get ready for a seamless performance.

Built for gigging

And you'll want to keep such a sublime instrument in pristine condition when travelling to and from the studio or taking with you on tour. Luckily, a hardshell case is included with the guitar to alleviate any damage on the road.
