Description
The Ibanez Japan Custom Shop Visions IV2RG is a guitar built for the player who knows exactly what they want; speed, precision, elegance, and uncompromising tonal power. This is a guitar that doesn't just meet the standard, it defines it. Hailing from the elite Ibanez Japanese Custom Shop, the IV2RG channels the same spirit found in high-end artist models and showpiece builds, but with a voice and identity all its own. Its exotic burl maple top and Tree of Life inlay make a strong first impression, but it's what lies beneath that sets this guitar apart for modern shredders, progressive players, and tone sculptors alike.
Crafted with a neck-through-body construction, the IV2RG features a Super Wizard 5-piece maple and purpleheart neck that's tailor-made for fast, articulate playing. Black Limba body wings provide rich, resonant tone with natural warmth, while the 4mm carved burl maple top brings brightness and stunning visual depth. The ebony fingerboard not only looks sharp with its ornate inlay, but enhances your attack with quick response, tight lows, and defined mids. Equipped with jumbo stainless steel frets and Ibanez's Custom Shop fret edge treatment, this guitar offers a playing surface that's smooth, durable, and built for heavy technical work without sacrificing finesse.
Powering its versatile voice is a classic DiMarzio HSH pickup set you find in some of the most heralded Ibanez Artist guitars; the Air Norton at the neck gives you sweet, harmonically rich leads, the True Velvet in the middle keeps your cleans snappy and articulate, and the Tone Zone at the bridge brings punch and muscle to your rhythms. A 5-way switch lets you blend and isolate tones effortlessly, making this guitar equally at home in fusion, metal, prog, and beyond. The Lo-Pro Edge tremolo offers buttery-smooth divebombs and pitch flutters, while the locking nut and Gotoh tuners keep your tuning rock-solid.
Built with speed and comfort in mind, the Super Wizard neck profile measures just 0.67" at the first fret and 0.75" at the 12th, paired with a flat 16.9" fingerboard radius for slick bends and ultra-low action. Every detail is considered, from the 43mm nut width to the matte gold hardware and secure Gotoh strap locks, making this a guitar you can trust night after night, in the studio or on the biggest stage.
This isn't just another custom shop build. The IV2RG is a bold, expressive tool designed to elevate your playing to its highest potential. At Cream City Music, we're proud to offer a piece like this; it's more than an instrument, it's an invitation to play without limits.
