A Hardtail Prog-metal Machine
With its lightning-fast 5-piece Wizard neck and stunning poplar burl top, the Ibanez Premium RGA21P1PB is a showstopping speed demon. An American basswood body provides a balanced tone, and a gorgeous ebony fingerboard — punctuated with jumbo stainless-steel frets — sings out with lively projection and miles of sustain. The Ibanez RGA21P1PB DiMarzio Fusion Edge humbuckers are voiced for metal and progressive styles, equally suited for aggression, warmth, and clarity. Toneshapers at Sweetwater delight in the dyna-MIX 10 switching system, which offers extensive control over the sound of this formidable axe. On top of that, the Ibanez RGA21P1PB features a Gibraltar Standard III bridge, which feels exceptionally comfortable under your picking hand when palm muting. All this adds up to a solidbody electric that's a rock 'n' rolling, metal-making machine.

Iconic Wizard neck offers high-speed playability
Since its invention, the Wizard neck profile has been an Ibanez hallmark, and it lives once again on the Ibanez RGA21P1PB. Its incredibly thin contour is a favorite among speed-happy players, as it allows unfettered movement up and down the entire fingerboard. And its 5-piece maple and walnut construction provides a stable neck while offering increased sustain and tonal attack.
DiMarzio humbuckers and dyna-MIX10 cover all the bases
There’s no denying the massive range of tone that you can get out of the Ibanez RGA21P1PB's duo of DiMarzio pickups. The Fusion Edge set possesses all the right qualities where they're needed: a tight-sounding bridge pickup with clarity when playing chords under heavy distortion, with a warm, yet punchy feeling neck pickup. Beyond that, Ibanez's dyna-MIX 10 switching system provides 10 different pickup combinations via a mini-toggle and 5-way blade switch. Whatever tone you're hearing in your head, the RGA21P1PB can achieve it.
Fixed bridge stability for rock-solid tuning
The Ibanez Premium RGA21P1PB sports a fixed Gibraltar Standard III bridge, which gives you the peace of mind that comes from rock-solid tuning stability. From standard to lowered tunings, your guitar's pitch will remain stable, and sustain is increased from the increased mass compared to other fixed bridges. Changing tunings during a gig goes much faster compared to dealing with a vibrato bridge and locking nuts. Many players at Sweetwater also attribute greatly increased sustain and a fatter overall tone to the way hardtail bridges transfer the string's energy directly to the guitar's body.
