Description
This is the Ibanez RGD61 RGD in Black Aurora Burst Matte, a guitar built specifically for metal players and anyone who loves down-tuning. With its extended 26.5-inch scale, this model handles heavier string gauges and lower tunings without sacrificing playability. It's a great choice for intermediate and advanced players who want that punchy, aggressive tone and effortless high-fret access thanks to the deep cutaways.
The RGD61 features a Nyatoh body for a rich, tight low end and a Wizard III Roasted Maple neck that's thin, fast, and comfortable for long sessions or speedy soloing. The Macassar Ebony fretboard and jumbo frets make for a smooth, responsive feel. Loaded with Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker Ceramic pickups, you can easily switch between active, high-output metal tones and crisp, clean sounds with the push/pull voicing control. The Mono-rail bridge helps with sustain and string isolation, and the Gotoh MG-T locking tuners keep your tuning locked in even during heavy playing.
For playability, you get luminescent side dots for visibility on dark stages and 24 frets for a full two-octave range. The ergonomic design makes it easy to play, whether you're riffing low or reaching for solos high up the neck. We've seen these guitars really stand up to regular gigging and demanding use, and they always deliver in terms of stability and performance.
