Skillfully crafted in Japan, the Ibanez Prestige RG653DX stands as a high-performance throwback RG, but with thoughtfully selected modern flourishes. This solidbody electric guitar is built upon a meticulously sculpted ash body with classic shred aerodynamics, bolstered by a bolt-on, 5-piece maple/walnut neck with a comfortable Super Wizard HP profile. Moreover, the bound, 24-fret, flat-radius rosewood fingerboard encourages lightning-fast fretwork, elevated by Ibanez’s Prestige fret-edge treatment. Plug this RG in, and a duo of high-octane DiMarzio humbuckers will treat you to a medley of tasty sonic textures. Beyond that, the RG653DX’s high-end complement of shred-sanctioned hardware includes an original Edge double-locking tremolo and Gotoh tuning machines. Finally, acrylic and abalone block fingerboard inlays, a tortoiseshell pickguard, and a spotlight-ready low-gloss finish put the perfect amount of eye candy on this potent performer. Ibanez aficionados searching for a stage-ready guitar with a delightfully nostalgic attitude will find the RG653DX positively mesmerizing.
