The Ibanez RG Series
Over thirty years of uncompromising metal have proven the Ibanez RG series as a favorite of shredders.
With more models than any other Ibanez Guitars series, the RG line of high-performance, fast-playing guitars offers an extensive collection of in-demand instruments perfect for hard rock and metal music.
Introduced in 1987, the Ibanez RG came to define the sound of rising, extreme metal subgenres like thrash. Players favor the thin, fast necks, double octave fingerboards, flat radii, comfortable bodies, wide and powerful pickup array, and choice of rock-solid hardtail bridge or Ibanez’s “industry-leading tremolo system.”
Ibanez makes it easy to find the RG for you. Dip your toe in with Gio. Try the Premium line of RGs “designed to inspire” with select tonewoods and progressive looks. Or pickup a Genesis, modern replicas of the original classic design.
