Ibanez RGR52ET RG Premium, Reverse Headstock, Evertune, Black Overview
The RG series is one of Ibanez’s most iconic guitar lines, forged through three decades of metal to deliver speed, precision, and durability. The RG52ET model maintains this legacy with its high-performance features tailored to modern players. It boasts the renowned Wizard III 3-piece Maple neck, known for its thin, flat profile and incredible playability. With a 24-fret fretboard spanning two octaves, the neck allows for extensive musical exploration. The Macassar Ebony fretboard delivers tight lows, a focused midrange, and a powerful high-end attack, ensuring clarity and rich sustain.
The guitar’s Jumbo Stainless Steel frets are both durable and corrosion-resistant, providing a fast response for chords and single-note clarity. The Maple top enhances tonal response, particularly when picking, while the Nyatoh body contributes a rich mid-low end for a well-rounded sound. The Fishman® Fluence™ Modern Humbucker pickups—Alnico in the neck and Ceramic in the bridge—deliver an aggressive tone with a powerful attack, free of unwanted noise.
Gotoh® machine heads provide superior tuning accuracy, ensuring smooth operation. The EverTune® bridge system keeps the guitar in tune under all conditions, making it ideal for both studio and live settings. A coil-tap switch adds tonal flexibility, while the Fishman® Fluence™ Voicing switch on the volume control lets players toggle between modern high-output active sounds and clean, fluid tones. Luminescent side dots make it easy to track fret positions during performances, even in low-light settings.
