Ibanez Axe Design Lab RGR52ET Electric Guitar - Black

Ibanez Axe Design Lab RGR52ET Electric Guitar - Black

Teeming with 21st-century appointments, the Ibanez Axe Design Lab RGR52ET Electric Guitar - Black exemplifies what the company’s experimental Axe Design Lab series is all about. This solidbody electric guitar is built around a solid slab of nyatoh, carved into Ibanez’s classic RG shape and topped with maple. Its 3-piece maple Wizard III neck offers extreme playing comfort, further elevated by a flat-radius Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 stainless steel frets. Ear-grabbing tones abound when you plug the RGR52ET in, courtesy of multi-voice Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers. Furthermore, an EverTune bridge and Gotoh tuning machines ensure spot-on intonation — even under extremely primal playing conditions. Offset-dot fingerboard inlays, Luminlay side dots, a reverse headstock, and a gleaming gloss-poly finish round out the RGR52ET’s outstanding features. Players with a penchant for precision will find that the Ibanez Axe Design Lab RGR52ET ticks all the right boxes, and they’ll have a difficult time putting this state-of-the-art solidbody down.

Incredibly fast Wizard III neck

One of Ibanez’s fastest necks to date, the 3-piece maple Wizard III neck on the RGR52ET provides players with a wide platform for all varieties of fleet-fingered fretboard action. This slim and super-comfortable neck lets you pull off lightning-fast runs, arpeggios, and hammer-ons with ease, while still giving you the substance needed for fretting chords. Capping the neck is a 24-fret Macassar ebony fingerboard loaded with stainless steel frets, perfect for big note bends. From the first time you put your hands on the RGR52ET’s Wizard III neck, you’ll know you’ve got a guitar built with performance in mind.

Multi-voice Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers

The Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers in the Ibanez Axe Design Lab RGR52ET deliver the most sought-after humbucking tones, ranging from modern active to high-output humbucking. Unlike most wire-wound models, Fluence pickups serve up this massive tone arsenal without noise or inductance issues. Additionally, Fishman Fluence Modern humbucker pickups provide you with a choice of two distinctly different voices for each pickup, which you can change via the push-pull on the volume control. The RGR52ET also brandishes a 3-way lever pickup selector and a coil-tap switch.

EverTune bridge ensures rock-solid intonation

The EverTune bridge on the Axe Design Lab RGR52ET is an all-mechanical system that helps you stay in tune longer under any playing situation. Small springs maintain constant tension on your strings, providing long-lasting tuning stability and incredibly accurate intonation. You can even adjust it to control how much your pitch changes when you bend a string. Whether you're playing a long gig or recording session, your tuning will remain stable regardless of your playing style, temperature, or other variables.
