Increase Your Prestige
An upscale take on the classic RG model, the Ibanez Prestige RG2027RXL is guaranteed to elevate every facet of your playing. This extended-range riff machine is built upon an aerodynamically sculpted, bound, double-cutaway basswood foundation. The bolt-on, 5-piece maple/wenge neck brandishes the sleek Wizard-7 profile, bolstered by a bound, flat-radius rosewood fingerboard with 24 frets and Ibanez’s Prestige fret-edge treatment. Plugging in the RG2027RXL unleashes a salmagundi of scorching-hot tones with astonishing clarity, power, and fast attack, courtesy of dual DiMarzio Fusion Edge 7 humbuckers, reinforced by Master Volume and Master Tone knobs and 5-way lever pickup selector. If you have a penchant for trem-fueled tantrums, the RG2027RXL’s Lo-Pro Edge 7 double-locking tremolo can withstand excessive pitch punishment and then snap back in tune — even under extremely primal playing conditions. Offset mother-of-pearl dot fingerboard inlays and a stunning satin finish put the perfect finishing touches on this exquisite 7-string electric guitar. Searching for a shred-ready guitar with extended-range flexibility and premier appointments? The Ibanez Prestige RG2027RXL ticks all the right boxes — and then some.
Iconic Wizard-7 neck offers high-speed playability
Since its invention, the Wizard neck profile has been an Ibanez hallmark. Its incredibly thin contour is a favorite among speed-happy players, as it allows unfettered movement up and down the fretboard. And its 5-piece, maple/wenge construction provides stability while offering increased sustain and tonal attack. Capping the neck is a bound, 24-fret rosewood fingerboard loaded with jumbo-size frets, perfect for big note bends. Furthermore, the feel of this neck is enhanced by Ibanez’s Prestige fret-edge treatment, an extra step to ensure maximum playing comfort and long-term playability. This process produces polished, meticulously shaped fret ends, eliminating the danger of sharp frets.
Fusion Edge 7 humbuckers are made for modern metal
The Ibanez RG2027RXL’s Fusion Edge 7 humbucking pickups are the result of a collaboration between Ibanez and noted pickup maker DiMarzio. Designed for modern progressive metal, Fusion Edge 7 pickups deliver a powerful scooped sound with tight, compressed bass response and crisp high-end articulation — ideal for bludgeoning djent chugs and high-speed staccato riffing. These DiMarzio Fusion Edge 7 pickups give you the aggressive yet precise tone that modern metal guitarists need. Beyond that, the RG2027RXL features Master Volume and Master Tone knobs, as well as a 5-way pickup selector, allowing you to access a spectrum of ear-grabbing tones right at your fingertips.
High performance from the Lo-Pro Edge 7
Whether you palm mute with precision or have adopted something of a wild strumming style, few things are worse than getting hung up on your bridge during a furious performance. That’s one area in which the RG2027RXL’s Lo-Pro Edge 7 tremolo really shines; it gets out of the way of your playing while still serving up maximum expression and tuning stability. You’ll barely know it’s there, thanks to its streamlined profile and recessed fine tuners. Additionally, locking studs provide extra tuning stability. As for functionality, we’ve been using and abusing Ibanez’s Lo-Pro Edge around Sweetwater since the early 1990s, and we can proclaim with the utmost confidence: the Lo-Pro Edge is among the most reliable double-locking trems you’ll ever put your hands on. So, pull the bar all the way up, then slam it down to the body all you want; you can follow it up with a jazz chord, and it’ll be perfectly in tune.
