The Ibanez Axe Design Lab Standard RG9PB-TGF Transparent Gray Flat is a modern 9-string guitar that blurs the line between E-Bass and electric guitar and turns out to be the ideal extended range instrument for the most progressive styles of djent metal with tight sounds and excellent playing characteristics. Based on the established RG design, the electric guitar not only features a handy Nyatoh body and an agile "Wizard-9" neck, but also an extended 28" scale length (712 mm), which in combination with the Fishman Fluence Modern 9-string pickups guarantees precisely articulated clean and distortion sounds. High-quality Hardware in the form of a Gibraltar II-9 bridge and tuning-stable Ibanez Die-Cast tuners completes the equipment of the Axe Design Lab Standard RG9PB-TGF Transparent Gray Flat guitar from Ibanez.
The Ibanez Axe Design Lab Standard RG9PB-TGF Transparent Gray Flat is a modern extended range guitar with comfortable handling and a tight sound.
Four screws hold the RG9's wide but comfortably playable maple-walnut neck securely to the handy Nyatoh body.
Extended range guitar with first class handling
The entire construction of the Axe Design Lab Standard RG9 electric guitar focuses on an extremely tight sound for the clean output of low tuning and excellent playing characteristics for progressive techniques. Accordingly, the heart of the guitar is the extra-long 28" scale length (712 mm), which gives even the low strings a tight pull for a fast and punchy response. While the Nyatoh body in the typically sleek RG design has supple contours and ideal balance both standing and sitting, the wide and flat "Wizard II-9" profile of the bolt-on maple-walnut neck promises easy playability of all positions of the 24-fret Macassar ebony fingerboard.
Fishman Fluence Modern 9-string pickups with two voicings and coil split option promise versatile guitar tones with tight representation of each string.
Fishman Fluence Modern 9-String Pickups
To elicit multifaceted but always perfectly articulate and tight sounds from the guitar amp, Ibanez equips the Axe Design Lab RG9 electric guitar with a Set of the hip Fishman Fluence Modern pickups in the nine-string version. In neck position, the Fluence Modern Alnico 9-string humbucker with a classic and a modern vo icing provides the perfect basis for crisp cleans and fluid solos with singing overdrive. The two voicings of the Fluence Modern Ceramic 9-String Humbucker at the bridge, on the other hand, easily assert themselves at maximum gain with razor-sharp focused mids and a tight Attack in the Mix. Both pickups can also be split via the mini-switch between the Volume and Tone controls to add glassy single coil tones to the repertoire.
Nine Ibanez die-cast tuners guarantee accurate tuning with unshakable stability for every string on the RG9.
High quality hardware
Of course, Ibanez completes the Axe Design Lab Standard RG9PB-TGF Transparent Gray Flat with professional hardware that is optimally matched to the characteristics of the 9-string guitar. The extremely solidly built Gibraltar II-9 bridge anchors the strings bombproof in the body for an especially crisp response and furthermore offers far-reaching adjustment possibilities for an exact intonation and comfortable string position. At the headstock, a Graph Tech nut guides the strings with a nearly straight pull to the Ibanez Die-Cast tuners, which keep the electric guitar securely in tune.
