Electric guitar with ash body, reverse headstock and DiMarzio pickups, including case
The Ibanez Prestige RGR652AHBF-WK Weathered Black is a first-class metal guitar that offers not only brute sounds but also an elegant, dark look. This is due not only to the matt black lacquered ash body, whose razor-sharp silhouette is accentuated by white bindings, but also to the reversed headstock in the typical Ibanez design. Thanks to the ultra-flat "Super Wizard HP" profile, the five-piece maple walnut neck is particularly comfortable in the hand, so that any reef or solo can be easily removed from your fingers on the 24-flush macassar ebony fingerboard. DiMarzio Fusion Edge humbuckers provide modern metal sounds at the amplifier, which convince with a high tightness even during the most extreme drop tungings and display every beat precisely. Last but not least, the Ibanez Prestige RGR652AHBF has the Ibanez Gibraltar Standard II bridge and Gotoh MG-T locking mechanisms.
The Ibanez Prestige RGR652AHBF-WK Weathered Black convinces with its dark look and first-class metal sounds.

First time I bought from Music Store. I had no previous experience or idea. Excellent prices, communication via phone and email response, delivery time, product quality, no damages, and overall a satysfying deal to have done.
I was thinking about this guitar almost 2 years. It has a very nice quality and looks very cool and aggressively! It sounds pretty good! Also Music Store did they job perfectly. Big like for this! Will continue to buy here.
This is simply an incredibly well built and well crafted instrument. Everything about it is top quality, the frets are perfect, the binding is flawless and the hardware is excellent. I purchased this after seeing Olly Steele’s playthrough of Balance and I spoke to Olly about it who recommended it, but suggested that it might be worth upgrading the dimarzio pickups, but for my purposes they sound great!
This is my first Ibanez, and my first high end guitar too. I've wanted one of these RG Prestige models for years now, and the finish on this model pushed me over the edge.
The neck is the start of the show for me, matt finish and so ridiculously smooth, I can play for hours in total comfort.
Sound wise, I see a lot of commentary online dismissing the pickups that come with this guitar, but I have little to gripe about personally, the 5 way switch gives a nice mixture of different tones for different applications, and it sounds wonderfully heavy with some good distortion.
This is by far the best Prestige Japan Ibanez guitar that someone can get for these money. Craftmanship is awesome with not a single spot. Top quality control and excellent presales experience and preparation/inspection from MusicStore.de. Delivery time lightning fast!
This instrument is ideal for long practice due to the neck profile. Also is is very light and sounds awesome right out of the box with no set up.
Very versatile pickups for lead playing with some tweaking you can play from metal/fusion/rock shred.
I am so happy for this purchase, never had an Ibanez prestige before.
