Ibanez RGDRB71-BKF (Black Flat)

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 neck's highest notes.

The Iron Label line was originally developed with metal and nothing but metal in mind. We modded and tweaked until we got to the heaviest-hitting metal axes we’ve ever built. They’re purposefully spartan, and you won’t find a feature here that doesn't contribute directly to the bone-rattling, earth-shattering tones these guitars pump out. Carrying forward that same philosophy, the next generation of Iron Label guitars take this raw metal energy to a completely new level. They sport blacked-out looks, and their supercharged electronics amount to some of the heaviest-swinging metal axes we’ve ever produced.

The RGDRB71 comes with a Wizard II Roasted Maple neck with luminescent side dots, an Ebony fretboard with a 26.5-inch scale, and a Nyatoh body. Furthermore, it features DiMarzio D Activator pickups, a Mono-rail bridge and Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads.
