RGA

Ibanez Effects
Add 3-D curves to the concept of the RG and you've got the RGA. Its dimensionality is easy on the eye - but, more importantly, those curves enhance playability. The arched top design effectively positions the strumming/ picking hand optimally for anything from a fast riffing to fat, full power chords.

FEATURES   (click to enlarge)
The Wizard III Maple neck is fast, flat and thin for speed and playning comfort.
Equipped with EMG® 85/81 pickups. The bridge position creates razor sharp attack and incredible sustain, while the neck position kicks out beefy lows and fattened highs.
Deep scoop cuts at horns for extra playability/easier upper fret access.
EDGE-ZERO II TREMOLO
The Edge-Zero II, Ibanez's newest generation of knife edge tremolos, deploys all of the unique features of the ZR trem. Locking studs contribute to tuning stability.
 
FEATURES   (click to enlarge)
The Edge II Zero with the back plate removed. The system’s performance and flexibility is based upon its spring/counter-spring design.
For the player who prefers the tremolo to snap hard to the zero point (as with a flutter effect) removal of the cross bar and counter-spring is quick and easy.
Here the back cover plate is in place. Open slots reveal a spring adjustment knob (far left) and view of the spring’s level of compression.
Solidly anchoring each component is a major part of creating great sustain. These stud bolts contain inner set screws that expand the outer bolt, marrying bridge to body, thereby maximizing string vibration.
