Description
Ibanez's Axe Design Lab RG9PB is a powerful 9-string electric guitar that's great for high-gain players seeking a thunderous extended-range axe. With its brutal Fishman Fluence humbuckers, lightning-fast Wizard-9 neck, and gorgeous poplar burl top, this guitar offers the best in style, sound, and substance. If you're a rock or metal musician seeking a face-melting guitar that can dive deep into the low-end, look no further than Ibanez's RG9PB.
This menacing guitar features a nyatoh body with a poplar burl top, giving it a rich, punchy tone with full lows, dominant mids, and clear, articulate highs. Its Wizard-9 neck plays remarkably quick for a 9-string guitar, making it great for players who love the sound of extended-range instruments but don't want to riff on a baseball bat-like neck. Players will also enjoy its velvety-smooth Macassar ebony fingerboard and 24 jumbo frets, which make bending and vibrato feel easy and natural.
Driving this beast is a pair of Fishman Fluence humbuckers that deliver a stellar array of noise-free high-gain tones. With an alnico neck pickup and a ceramic bridge humbucker, these pickups can be mixed and matched to suit any hard rock or heavy metal setting. And thanks to its coil-tap switch and Fishman Fluence voicing control, this 9-string can dial in a wealth of gnarly sounds.
Other appointments include a Gibraltar Standard II-9 bridge, a Graph Tech nut, and eye-catching Cosmo Black hardware. Please reach out if you're looking to add a top-notch metal tone machine to your arsenal!
