The Ibanez RG970WBWZ Electric Guitar Walnut Burst is a 6-string electric guitar, with a basswood body, walnut top, wenge neck, rosewood fingerboard, and a walnut high-gloss burst finish. 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. The RG is a precision instrument, and this model features a wenge/bubinga 5pc neck that makes the neck strong and stable. Ibanez's premium fret edge treatment is a slow, demanding process that makes for a smooth, fast playing neck.
DiMarzio IBZ pickups were made by DiMarzio specially for Ibanez. The tone is vivid but easy to control to your sonic requirement. The Zero Point System in the Edge-Zero II makes tuning easier and faster as well as providing stable tuning for long performances, all while maintaining smooth tremolo playing. Engineered to remove all points of friction, ZPS is the smoothest Ibanez Back Stop ever. Even when a string breaks loss of tuning is minimized.
For players that prefer a full floating system, simply remove the stop bar. The innovative use of an additional outer pair of springs provides easier tuning and noticeably greater tuning stability than the traditional floating tremolo. No friction points make the ZPS the smoothest Ibanez Back Stop ever. An additional outer pair of springs provides easier tuning and better tuning stability than the traditional floating tremolo-plus the other strings will remain in tune if a string breaks.
