Description
If you’re after a cutting edge guitar with all bells and whistles, then this is about as good as it gets. The catchy-named RGD61ALET demonstrates what Ibanez do year after year: push the boundaries of ergonomic guitar design, all the while maintaining premium tone
Construction
Hardware here means hard wear. The combination of Evertune bridge and Gotoh locking tuners ensure this a serious pro touring instrument for day-after-day play, while making life extremely easy if you’re keeping to one tuning. Schaller straplocks and Luminlay side dots are modern day requirements for unbreakable reliability under any gigging circumstance.
Sound
Fishman are at the forefront of the pickup game. Their Modern humbuckers are aggressive, explosive and incredibly versatile thanks to two unique voicings recreating active and passive styles. The former is crisp and tight, perfect for modern metal while the latter is more organic and fluid like a passive ceramic humbucker.
