Tear It Up with a Genuine RG

The Ibanez RG870 is purpose-built for high-speed, low-drag shredding! It all starts with the RG body style, which is primed for players with attitude. The RG870 also gives you a fast-playing 5-piece maple/walnut Wizard premium neck and a resonant, well-balanced basswood body. You'll love how this guitar feels as soon as you pick it up. Turn up the heat, with this guitar's outstanding 3-pickup configuration. It sports two hot humbuckers, with a single-coil pickup in the middle. Get your hands on an RG Premium Series guitar and prepare to shred!



Ibanez's RG Series is filled with top instruments - all featuring the famous RG body style, with excellent components through and through. For example, the Edge Zero II trem bridge offers up an advanced design (complete with Ibanez's ZPS3Fe spring design), for serous stability during even the most aggressive divebombing runs.

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
