EverTune Bridge for Unbelievable Tuning Stability

Featuring a sonically-versatile set of active humbucking pickups and a lightning-fast neck, the Ibanez Axion Label RGD61ALET combines epic tone with eminent playability. Its 26.5" scale length is perfect for lowered tunings — in fact, it comes tuned down a whole step from the factory. The Fluence Modern pickups deliver a huge range of aggressive sounds, further expanded by the push-pull voicing switch on the master volume control. And the RGD61ALET is loaded with the EverTune bridge for rock-solid tuning stability. Complete with Gotoh locking tuners for impressive tuning stability, and a coil-tap switch for access to single-coil pickup tones, the Ibanez Axion Label RGD61ALET is a gig-ready guitar that's sure to impress.

EverTune bridge keeps you in tune, all gig long

The EverTune bridge on the Axion Label RGD61ALET is an all-mechanical system that helps you stay in tune longer under any playing situation. Small springs keep constant tension on your strings, giving you long-lasting tuning stability and incredibly accurate intonation, too. You can even adjust it to control how much your pitch changes when you bend a string. Even if you're playing a long gig or recording session, your tuning will be more stable regardless of your playing style, temperature, or other variables.

Multi-voice Fluence Modern Ceramic pickups provide two distinct voices

The Fluence Modern humbucking pickup gives you the choice of two unique, selectable voices. The Fluence's first voicing is reminiscent of a modern active pickup. Plug into your amp and treat yourself to that familiar modern active pickup with tight bass, crisp highs, and a touch of growl. The second voice is a high-output humbucker tone made for distortion. Guitarists at Sweetwater are pleased to report that both voices deliver the unmistakable humbucker sound.

Your fingers will fly on this super-fast Nitro Wizard neck

One of Ibanez's fastest necks to date, the Nitro Wizard neck on the Axion Label RGD61ALET is an absolute pleasure to play. This slim and super-comfortable neck lets you pull off lightning-fast runs and arpeggios with ease, but still gives you the substance you need for fretting chords. From the first time you wrap your hand around the Nitro Wizard neck, you'll know you've got a guitar that was built with performance in mind.

Ibanez Axion Label RGD61ALET Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • Designed for fast, technical playing
  • Nitro Wizard neck plays fast and smooth
  • EverTune bridge offers exceptional tuning stability and intonation
  • Wide tonal range from Fishman Fluence Modern active humbucking pickups
  • Coil-tap switch gives you access to single-coil tones too

Amazing Guitar

I have had this guitar for a while, I have it tuned to Drop B, and it sounds amazing. The tone woods used on the neck and body along with the Fishman Modern Pickups create a unique guitar that is both warm and tight. I think a lot of the Mojo with this guitar is down to the Panga Panga Neck, which is unique to Ibanez. Add in the evertune bridge and slightly longer 26.5" scale and it is perfect for lower drop tunings, dare I say Djent.

The evertune bridge will spoil you to point of not wanting to ever play another guitar without one, I have bought 2 other guitars with it and love the evertune system. Imagine just walking in and picking up your guitar for days on end without having to tune it up, it's really like that. I also use really light gauge strings, the bridge holds it in tune very precisely. Re-stringing with the evertune is also very easy, the strings still need to stretch, but it's different with evertune.

Lastly, My only complaint, is they don't make it in more colors, I love the Silver, but wouldn't mind having several more in different tunings and different colors. I love the guitar so much, I will probably end up with another one of these and live with the color or have it repainted. It's the perfect Djent guitar.

Great Guitar and Wonderful Hardware

I really like this guitar a lot. It plays very well and sounds great. The neck plays well and is very comfortable if you like the Nitro Wizard neck style.

The Fishman pickups are a little to bright for my tastes but I'm getting used to it and it really doesn't effect the playability of the guitar. I wish they had a little more low end punch, but they are not bad at all.

The Evertune takes a minute to get used to if you haven't had one before (which I hadn't). I had to watch some youtube videos to really get the hang of how to allow bends at all because the documentation really didn't drive it home for me. It turns out that it's incredibly easy to accomplish although it seems a little strange since you have to tune the string until it goes sharp 'zone 3' they call it and it feels like you are going to break the string. After it was setup to bend, I really love the way it stays in tune. For rhythm recording it would be beneficial to leave it in 'zone 2' which wouldn't allow the strings to bend or detune at all.

Overall the build quality is great, but I did have one minor dent in the headstock, but it is very small. One of my strings was broken on delivery as well, but luckily I had another set and just replaced them all.

All in all, it's a great guitar and I would recommend it to anyone who has always wanted Fishman pickups and an Evertune bridge.
