DiMarzio Air Norton and The Tone Zone humbuckers promise classic rock and metal sounds with precise tone reproduction even with drop tunings and high distortion levels. Naturally an Ibanez Lo-Pro Edge Double-Locking-Tremolo and Gotoh tuners complete the Ibanez j.custom RG8520-GE Green Emerald.
The Ibanez j.custom RG8520-GE Green Emerald is a chic rock and metal guitar with a fine wood selection and distinctive sounds.

Noble design and smooth handling
When designing the RG8520-GE Green Emerald, Ibanez paid special attention to high-quality woods and comfortable handling. Accordingly, the African mahogany body carries a flamed maple top in AAA quality, whereas the bolt-on neck is particularly stable thanks to the five-piece maple-wenge construction. The extremely flat "j.custom Super Wizard" neck profile combined with the flat radius of the Macassar ebony fingerboard creates smooth playability up to the 24th jumbo fret.
With splittable DiMarzio Air Norton and The Tone Zone humbuckers, the Ibanez j.custom RG8520 electric guitar delivers multi-faceted and distinctive rock and metal sounds.
DiMarzio pickups
The Ibanez j.custom RG8520-GE Green Emerald features the classic setup of a DiMarzio Air Norton humbucker on the neck and a DiMarzio The Tone Zone humbucker on the bridge. Accordingly, this electric guitar impresses with multi-faceted sounds, which come up with a harmonic clarity in the clean channel, whereas with overdrive and distortion every tone is sharply outlined and presented with a powerful sound. The mini-switch between the volume and tone controls allows both humbuckers to be split to conjure extremely transparent single-coil sounds to further expand the sonic spectrum of the Ibanez j.custom RG8520.
Gotoh tuners guarantee an exact tuning of the electric guitar.
Ibanez Lo-Pro Edge Tremolo and Gotoh Tuners
Last but not least, the j.custom RG8520-GE Green Emerald comes with high-quality and reliable hardware equipment. The classic Ibanez Lo-Pro Edge Tremolo offers smooth handling and absolute tuning stability even with extensive whammy bar acrobatics thanks to its double-locking construction. Behind the locking nut, six Gotoh tuners on the headstock guarantee precise tuning. In addition, Gotoh strap-locks hold the Ibanez j.custom RG8520-SDE Sodalite securely on the guitar strap.
