Stunning Prestige Playability

The Ibanez RG652AHM Prestige solidbody electric guitar was created to be a supremely playable, great-sounding guitar. The ash RG body gives the guitar a strong treble response, and it's decked out in a sharp Nebula Green Burst transparent finish. You'll love the feel of the fast, 5-piece maple/walnut Super Wizard HP neck. The RG652AHM Prestige uses DiMarzio Tone Zone and Air Norton humbuckers to push your amp for crunchy rhythms or hot leads. Get your hands on this RG652AHM Prestige and find out how far it can take your playing.

Ibanez RG652AHM Prestige Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Incredibly fast Super Wizard HP neck
  • Ibanez Edge locking tremolo for complete control and tuning stability
  • Step up to the top-of-the-line RG Prestige Series
Incredibly fast Super Wizard HP neck

The Ibanez Wizard necks are thin, built-for-speed creations that enable effortless playability and comfort. The RG652AHM Prestige takes that design to the next level with its 5-piece maple/walnut Super Wizard HP neck. You'll execute lightning-fast runs, arpeggios, and hammer-ons with ease. Capping the Super Wizard neck is a bound 24-fret maple fretboard, loaded with jumbo frets that are perfect for big note bends.

Ibanez Edge locking tremolo for complete control and tuning stability

The original (not to mention legendary) Ibanez Edge locking tremolo system is back on this RG652AHM Prestige. Though there are different variations on this system, the original Edge, introduced in 1986, is still one of the most desired designs, being used by guitar virtuosos such as Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. You'll gain complete performance pitch control, while resting assured your tuning will remain rock-solid the whole time.

Ibanez Prestige winner

Guitar arrived in perfect condition in tune and setup perfectly right out of the case. The guitar is AMAZING the craftsmanship is second to none. Neck is beautiful fretwork is fantastic body and color is beautiful I can't stop looking at it and playing it. Big fan of DiMarzio pickups my first guitar an Ibanez LP 2915 that I bought off a friend back in 1980 had DiMarzio Super Distortion and PAF on it and the sound is amazing. I decided to go in that direction with this choice. Levi kept me updated on inventory and helped me through the whole process and said he would take the blame if my wife freaked out about me buying another guitar which she didn't….. true love. :) This guitar will be with me forever and I can't be more excited to have her.

Amazing Guitar / 55 point inspection? Not so much!

This is my first Ibanez and one of the only guitars I have ever bought where I didn't feel I needed to change something. I had some initial tuning instability, but after the strings stretched out it was all good. The guitar plays like a dream. It's fast and the neck is silk. Fretwork is flawless and the pickup combination is works for just about any genre. This guitar is much more than just a shred machine. Although it is pretty awesome for my version of shredding. For comparison purposes, I have a couple much more expensive, American made guitars that aren't this nice. Oh and the pictures don't do it any justice. It is a beautiful guitar.
Now onto the bad, which has nothing to do with the actual guitar. My guitar arrived with a small ding in the bottom of the that penetrated through the finish into the wood. It is small and some might be able to over look it. At this price point.... not me. Sweetwater seems to pride itself on the "free" 55 point inspection. It is a big selling point and was a big consideration for me. I have an inspection card with three Sweetwater employee signatures on it that say this guitar was in perfect condition when it shipped. Draw your own conclusions. I will say there was no damage to the case it was placed in.
The follow-up customer service has been fine. Nothing stellar, but acceptable. They are letting me keep this one until another gets in stock.

Awesome

This guitar is the best guitar I own. It is super high quality and the fit and finish are extraordinary. This will rival any American guitar. I swapped out the Tone Zone for a beefier Super Distortion PUP. This guitar sounds fantastic. It sounds good even without an amp. That's my test to see how good a guitar actually sounds. If it sounds clear and loud without an amp it will only sound better with one. I highly recommend.

Don't sweat

First of all I think they really want to make you happy, I was called and texted to make sure I was happy with my purchase. I set the guitar to my liking and it is a go-to in my line up and a keeper, very happy.

Skeptical at first but this guitar won me over

I bought a prestige level (i.e. made in Japan) S Series Ibanez back in the late 90's and was completely disappointed in my purchase. I swore I would never buy another Ibanez again after the experience. In the first guitar, not only was the neck warped but I had to clean out saw dust from the routings in the body when I had to remove/unscrew the plastic covers from the back for general maintenance, changing strings, etc. The paint was of extremely poor quality and huge chunks would chip away if I bumped into anything.

Recently I tried a few of the RG series prestige guitars in a local store and found that not only was the build quality as I'd hoped… the body fit with the neck pocket, fret install/finish, paint, overall tone, and playability of the guitars brought me back to what I loved most about super strats from the 80's.

Since it was Sweetwater, with their great service and return policy (unlike a lot of local shops), I figured I'd check to see if they had what I was looking for: maple fretboard, ash body, direct mounted non-active pickups (I love DiMarzios), floyd rose (with routing to allow upwards trem pulls), solid build quality, resonance, inexpensive, and no tree-of-life fancy inlays. This guitar meets all of that criteria. After allowing the strings some time to stretch, it has kept in tune, and is playing effortlessly with no extra setup.

I never expected to fall in love with a guitar again like what I owned back in the 80's, but this is about as close as I think I will get for the price. While the pickups may not be everyone's taste, I think they have great warmth/articulation, and sound like what I've loved about DiMarzio pickups with their aggression/drive. These push my JCM 800 and plexi reissue beautifully. Worst case you can always swap them out. Either way, this is a great platform to play on or you can tweek if you desire.

Ibanez really changed my opinion with this one, but that said always keep an eye out for what's best for you. Maybe I got a lemon the first time, but I'd utilize the return policy if you have a different experience. Hope you love yours as much as I do and hope this review was helpful!
