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. - Neck type: Nitro Wizard 3pc Maple/Bubinga neck - Body: Rosewood top/Layered Ash body - Fretboard: Birdseye Maple fretboard - Fret: Jumbo frets - Bridge: Gibraltar Standard II bridge - Neck pickup: DiMarzio Fusion Edge (H) neck pickup (Passive/Ceramic) - Bridge pickup: DiMarzio Fusion Edge (H) bridge pickup (Passive/Ceramic) - Scale: 673 mm - Neck radius: 400 mm - Width at nut: 43 mm - Finish: Charcoal Brown Burst Flat.
