Ibanez have impressed us with this New Ibanez RGD61-BAM RGD Series 6 String Electric Guitar in Black Aurora Burst Matte in Guitar, it’s in stock, and ready to ship with fast, reliable delivery across the UK, Ireland, and Europe. For more details within Guitar, additional Electric Guitar options, full specifications, demos, images, videos, and secure online ordering, read on below.

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.

Key Features

  • Wizard III Roasted Maple Neck
    Ibanez’s thin, flat, and fast Wizard neck is strong, sturdy, and offers unlimited playability. It features a two-octave, 24-fret fretboard for a wide tonal range.

  • Macassar Ebony Fretboard
    Macassar Ebony provides tight lows and mid-range frequencies, along with a strong attack in the highs, quick response, and rich sustain.

  • Jumbo Frets
    Jumbo frets enhance smooth playability, making single-note playing easier and more fluid.

  • Nyatoh Body
    Nyatoh body wood provides a rich mid-low end, adding warmth and depth to the overall tone.

  • Fishman® Fluence™ Modern Humbucker Ceramic Pickups
    These pickups deliver an aggressive tone and powerful attack, while minimizing excess noise for a cleaner, more focused sound.

  • Gotoh® MG-T Locking Machine Heads
    The Gotoh® MG-T locking machine heads provide incredible tuning stability and reduce string-changing time, allowing for quick and easy adjustments.

  • Mono-Rail Bridge
    Designed for stability and sustain, the innovative Ibanez Mono-Rail bridge minimizes cross-talk between strings, enhancing clarity and tonal definition.

  • Fishman® Fluence™ Voicing Switch (Push/Pull on Volume Control)
    The Voicing switch allows the pickups to shift from a modern, active high-output sound to a crisp, clean, and fluid tone, providing versatile tonal options.

  • Luminescent Side Dots
    The luminescent side dot markers make it easier to see fretboard positions in low-light conditions, perfect for performing on dark stages.

  • 26.5-Inch Scale
    The extended 26.5” scale length makes it ideal for accurately intonating heavier string gauges, making it perfect for down-tuned metal music.
