Ibanez RGD61-BAM RGD Electric Guitar – Black Aurora Burst
The Ibanez RGD61-BAM RGD Electric Guitar – Black Aurora Burst is tailored for guitarists seeking a versatile instrument capable of delivering both aggressive tones and smooth playability, making it a formidable choice for modern metal genres.
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.
