Experience High-octane Tone and Supreme Playability

The Ibanez Prestige RG652AHMFX was created to be a supremely playable, superb-sounding solidbody electric guitar. This guitar's distinctive ash RG body exhibits a strong treble response, and you'll appreciate the fast-playing feel of its 5-piece maple/walnut Super Wizard HP neck. If you like to push your amp for crunchy rhythms and hot leads, the RG652AHMFX will be happy to comply, thanks to DiMarzio Tone Zone and Air Norton humbuckers. The Prestige RG652AHMFX includes a rock-solid Gibraltar Standard II bridge and Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads, plus a Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut to safeguard against string binding. Head-turning Cosmo black hardware completes the impressive package.

Super Wizard HP neck plays fast and smooth

The RG652AHMFX's super-fast Super Wizard HP neck will let you execute lightning-fast runs, arpeggios, and hammer-ons with silken ease, while still providing enough substance for comfortable chording. The feel of this neck is greatly enhanced by the Prestige fret-edge treatment, an extra step Ibanez takes to ensure maximum playing comfort and long-term playability. The process essentially rounds the fret ends much more precisely than is possible by hand filing. The RG652AHMFX will feel like its neck has been lovingly played for years, right out of the factory case.

Dual DiMarzio pickups cover an expansive sonic range

There's no denying the massive range of tone you can get out the Ibanez Prestige RG652AHMFX's combo of DiMarzio pickups. The DiMarzio Tone Zone at the bridge is a hot humbucker with a super-wide dynamic range. It's a perfect complement to the RG652AHMFX's DiMarzio Air Norton at the neck, which is deep, warm, and remarkably clean. The guitarists here at Sweetwater love this ultra-flexible pickup combination, and you will, too.

RG playability with fixed-bridge stability

While you may expect to see a whammy bar on an Ibanez RG, the RG652AHMFX sports a Gibraltar Standard II fixed bridge — a dream come true if you prefer a hardtail axe. You'll appreciate the Gibraltar Standard II's extreme low profile, which offers the comfort of a traditional RG floating trem with the exceptional stability and reliability you can only get from a fixed bridge. If you've always wanted an RG-series guitar, but prefer not to mess with a floating bridge, the RG652AHMFX was made just for you.

Ibanez Prestige RG652AHMFX Features:

  • Distinctive ash RG body
  • Lightning-fast Super Wizard HP Prestige neck
  • 24 jumbo frets with an ultra-smooth feel thanks to the Prestige fret-edge treatment
  • DiMarzio Air Norton and Tone Zone pickups serve up a wide range of tone
  • Gibraltar Standard II bridge for spot-on intonation and maximum tuning stability
  • Rock-solid Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads

Rated 5/5

Great sound and neck

It's my first Ibanez. I love the royal plum, and the flat, wide neck. It's my first maple neck. The pickups sound great. Very clean.
Rated 5/5

The standard many other brands should strive for.

The thing with this guitar that trumps much else out there versus the competition is price.

An MIJ guitar with a lot of handwork done on the fretboard, great sounding humbuckers with some fancy electronics to make it into a 5-way switch, and a case?

If you are looking for maximum playability but still want a guitar that retains a headstock, this is one of the best options available. Ibanez is killing it!

A pleasure to play it

Im a guitar fan, I always loved the Ibanez guitars and this is the first prestige I own (and play),
the neck is fast and confortable, its the most beautiful guitar I ever seen, also all people who saw it falls in love (even the luthier), also made a quick demo/impro just to post it here.

More beautiful in person than it looks in pictures

The action can be set really low, it feels smooth and fast, perfect for shred, warm tone.
Rated 5/5

Pro finishing

Plays wonderfully and the pickup configurations are fantastic as well. Hard to beat this kind of quality for a lower price. The top is beautiful too. I was on the fence about the blue green one but once this purple one came out I knew I had to have it.


Typical Ibanez Prestige, can't find a thing to complain about (thank goodness these still come with a hard shell case!).
