RGD prestige

Ibanez Effects
RGD Prestige is Ibanez ultimate metal machine. The demands of down-tuning require a specially designed responsiveness not found in "normal" guitars. To optimize for the rich, desirable thickness of tone that down-tuning produces, we extended the neck to 26.5" scale-longer than standard, yet not overly long-still sized as a "fast" neck for speed soloing. Comfortable access to the neck's highest notes are accomplished by extra-deep cutaways.

FEATURES   (click to enlarge)
The Edge Zero 7, the newest generation of Edge knife-edge tremolos, employs design advantages from the high tech ZR Zero Resistance trem such as the Zero Point System, an onboard intonation screw and arm torque adjustment.
RGD2127Z ISH features V77/V87 custom designed pickups for down tuning. These pickups are specially designed for capturing more low-end by regenerating a wider tonal range. Instead of losing the low-end, they output it with rich, harmonic tone.
A 26.5" extra long scale neck, with factory-set whole step down tuning. (Factory tuning: 1D, 2A, 3F, 4C, 5G, 6D, 7A.)
EDGE-ZERO TREMOLO
The Edge-Zero, 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)
Edge-Zero trems are standard on all RG Prestige, RG3000 and RGA Prestige models.
Back view of the Edge Zero bridge with ZPS3 string system which allows radical trem effects with flawless tuning accuracy.
Just unscrew the built-in intonation adjustment tool from the base and screw it into the bottom of each saddle for quick adjustments.
The locking bolt is offset from the center of the saddle, which allows easy access to the bolt without loosening the strings.
