The Ibanez Prestige RG2027XL 7-String electric is a metal and rock player's dream. The all-basswood body of the RG2027XL is resonant, lightweight, and produces a very well-balanced tonal profile. The 5-piece maple/wenge neck is carved into Ibanez's Wizard-7 profile for a comfortable, responsive playing experience. It's topped with a smooth-as-glass Macassar ebony fingerboard for the utmost comfort. To round out the design, a pair of DiMarzio Fusion Edge 7 Humbucker pickups scream out smoking hot humbucker tone.
The RG2027XL's Lo-Pro Edge 7 bridge was designed by Ibanez to give you the fast response and snap you need to pull off sharp bends and flutters. The extreme stability of this knife-edge-style vibrato's stud-lock function is one of the many reasons it's a favorite among today's top players as well as many guitarists here at Music Experience. If you're looking for a guitar that can stand up to long playing sessions without going out of tune, you're going to love the RG2027XL.
With the Ibanez RG2027XL's two DiMarzio Fusion Edge 7 humbucking pickups designed to handle down-tuning, you'll have a massive reservoir of tone on tap. The result of a collaboration between Ibanez and noted pickup maker DiMarzio, Fusion Edge 7 humbuckers deliver a powerful scooped sound with tight, compressed bass response and crisp high-end articulation — ideal for bludgeoning djent chugs and high-speed staccato riffing. Thanks to its 27" scale length, the low end of this guitar will surprise you. Although it's definitely a metal machine, the RG2027XL's fast playability and tonal variety make it a great guitar for almost any style.
The RG is the most recognizable and distinctive guitar in the Ibanez line. Three decades of metal have forged this high-performance machine, honing it for both speed and strength. Whether you favor a hardtail (fixed) bridge or our industry-leading locking tremolo system, the RG is a precision instrument. There are three principles behind our new Ibanez Prestige line: Precision, Performance, and Playability. The combination of high-tech manufacturing techniques with old-world Japanese craftsmanship, true innovation in design and construction, and the incorporation of ideas and suggestions from musicians from around the world are the cornerstones of the Prestige production process.
Macassar Ebony produces tight lows and mid range along with strong attack in the highs and quick response with rich sustain.
The legendary Lo-Pro Edge bridge offers maximum playing comfort with its streamlined profile and recessed fine tuners. Locking studs contribute to tuning stability.
Through close collaboration between Ibanez and DiMarzio® Fusion Edge pickups have been engineered to produce a powerful, distinctive tone with a crisp, cutting high end, and a tight, compressed bottom end, minus any muddy mid-range.
Gotoh® machine heads provide super precision, smooth feel, and minimal back lush.
