Noble design and excellent playability
In designing the Ibanez j.custom RG8520-SDE Sodalite, Ibanez paid special attention to the use of high quality woods and comfortable feel. Accordingly, the African mahogany body carries a flamed maple top in AAA quality, whereas the bolt-on neck proves to be 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 enables smooth playing up to the 24th of the jumbo frets.
With two splittable DiMarzio Fusion Edge humbuckers, the Ibanez j.custom RG8520 delivers multi-faceted and distinctive rock and metal sounds.
DiMarzio Fusion Edge pickups
The electrical sound conversion of the Ibanez j.custom RG8520-SDE sodalite is done by two DiMarzio Fusion Edge humbuckers with powerful ceramic magnets. Specially tuned to modern styles of rock and metal, these pickups convince with a tight bass foundation and crisp highs, ensuring that even high-gain sounds and drop tunings are reproduced with absolute precision. The mini-switch between the volume and tone controls allows both humbuckers to be split, adding transparent single-coil sounds to the palette of the Ibanez j.custom RG8520.
Gotoh tuners guarantee precise tuning on this electric guitar.
Ibanez Lo-Pro Edge tremolo and Gotoh tuners
