The RGD is Ibanez's ultimate metal machine. The demands of down-tuning require a specifically designed responsiveness not found in ''normal'' guitars. To optimize for the rich, desirable thickness of tone that down-tuning produces, we extended the neck by one inch to a 26.5'' scale. Longer-than standard yet not overly long. The neck is still considered a ''fast'' neck for speed soloing. Extra-deep cutaways grant comfortable access to the necks highest notes. RGDIR6M is electric guitar, features Mahogany body. Nitro Wizard 3pc Maple/Purpleheart neck with 673mm scale length. Birdseye Maple fretboard with jumbo frets and 400mm radius and 43mm nut. Gibraltar Standard II bridge.
