Back view of the RG1570's 5-piece maple/walnut Wizard Prestige neck.
The RG1570/RG1550M can dial in any tone, from crystal clear to searing and nasty, thanks to its V7 neck pickup, S1 middle pickup and V8 bridge pickup combination.
EDGE-PRO TREMOLO
In the last two decades, no other guitar maker besides Ibanez has done so much to advance the art and science of the tremolo. The Edge-PRO represents the next phase in locking tremolos.
FEATURES   CLICK TO ENLARGE
To avoid the problem of string holder blocks getting lost during string changes, the Edge-PRO’s sliding string holders are actually part of the bridge and won’t drop from the saddle unit.
With the Edge-PRO design, there’s no need to cut off the ball end of your strings when installing new strings.
The Edge-PRO features a unique Sound Metal Chip on each saddle which helps increase sustain right at the most critical area, the intonation point.
