The RG8870 j.custom is built for speed and durability as part of the Ibanez lines most recognizable and distinctive guitar. Whether you prefer a fixed or hardtail bridge, the RG is a precision instrument with a flamed maple top and alder body paired to a special j.custom Super Wizard 5-piece maple/wenge neck for a comfortable, stable grip that makes sweeping and string skipping easier. This is topped with a fretboard made of Macassar ebony, which produces tight lows and mids as well as a strong attack in the highs.
DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversary pickups provide a sweet tone with a perfect balance of warmth and clarity, as well as the ability to go from clean to distorted with a single pick attack. The DiMarzio True Velvet and Tone Zone pickups work in tandem to provide depth, warmth, and rich dynamics. Gotoh machine heads and strap lock pins are included, as well as a Lo-Pro edge tremolo. There is a hardshell case included.
