IBANEZ RGD61 STANDARD BLACK AURORA BURST MATTE

The RGD is Ibanez's ultimate metal machine. The demands of down-tuning require a specifically designed responsiveness not found in standard guitars. To optimize for the rich, desirable thickness of tone that down-tuning produces, the neck has been extended 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 neck's highest notes.

- Wizard III Roasted Maple neck : Ibanez's thin, flat and fast Wizard neck is strong and sturdy and offers unlimited playability and features a two-octave 24-fret fretboard for a wide tonal range.

- Macassar Ebony fretboard : Macassar Ebony produces tight lows and mid range along with strong attack in the highs and quick response with rich sustain.

- Jumbo frets : Jumbo frets contribute to smooth playability, especially for single-note playing.

- Nyatoh body : Nyatoh used as the body wood provides a rich mid-low end.

- Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker Ceramic pickups : The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups provide an aggressive tone and a powerful attack without excess noise.

- Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads : The Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads achieve incredible tuning stability, cutting down string-changing time.

- Mono-rail bridge : Designed for both stability and sustain, the innovative Ibanez Mono-Rail bridge minimizes cross-talk between strings.

- Fishman Fluence Voicing switch on volume control (push/pull) : The Voicing switch allows the pickups to switch from a modern, active high output sound to a crisp, clean and fluid sound.

- Luminescent side dots : The luminescent side dot position marks make it easy for players to see fretboard position marks when performing on dark stages.

- 26.5 inch scale : The extra long 26.5" scale and ability to accurately intonate heavier string gauges make it the perfect instrument for down-tuned metal.
