As a pioneer of heavy rock guitars, Ibanez has released 7- and 8-string models in the past, and the RGD is Ibanez's ultimate heavy rock machine. Heavy rock guitars are required to output clear sound down to the lowest note without losing playability. So we minimized extension of the neck scale to 1-inch, and original tuned pickups are mounted. Also, RGD features the special cuts on horn and body offering ultimate playability for upper fret access.
