Multi-scale 6-string Built for Performance
The Ibanez RGD Iron Label Multi-scale RGDIM6FM solidbody electric guitar features a luxurious ebony fretboard that delivers outstanding playing comfort and great intonation all the way up the neck. Topped with gorgeously figured flamed maple, the guitar's ash/mahogany body is spec'd with a compensated pickup and hardware configuration. Ibanez's Mono-rail bridge lets each string vibrate independently, while a pair of Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers delivers the amp-punishing punch you demand. A lot of guitars can play metal, but the Ibanez Iron Label RGDIM6FM was born for it.

Designed for metal
When Ibanez introduced their Iron Label series of electric guitars, it was clear they were heavy metal guitars through and through. The Iron Label RGDIM6FM carries on that tradition, and it adds a multi-scale fret design for incredible down-tuned punch while keeping the higher strings feeling familiar and sounding clear. And Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups will push your amp into tight, aggressive distortion with a powerful attack — and no unwanted noise. You'll also love the fast, 3-piece maple/purpleheart Nitro Wizard Multi-scale neck on the RGDIM6FM.
Multi-scale frets provide better comfort, tension, and tone
Multi-scale frets are an exciting trend in guitar design aimed at down-tuned and technical playing. You get a longer scale length on the bass side of the instrument and a shorter scale on the treble side. Not only does this offer you better intonation across all six strings, but the higher tension on the low strings adds muscle and punch to your tone. And the higher strings have a familiar scale length for great single-string performance. While getting used to them may seem intimidating, Sweetwater guitarists have found that it's a very natural transition.
Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers
The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers in the Ibanez RGDIM6FM deliver the most sought-after humbucking tones, from modern active to high-output humbucking. Unlike most wire-wound models, Fluence pickups manage to serve up this massive tone arsenal without noise or inductance issues. On top of that, Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups provide you with your choice of two distinctly different voices for each pickup. You can change the voicing via the push/pull function on the volume knob.
Ibanez: a brief history
Ibanez began its life in 1908 as the Hoshino Gakki company in Nagoya, Japan. However, the company didn't get into the guitar business until 1929, when they started importing Salvador Ibanez guitars from Spain. In 1935, Hoshino Gakki began building Spanish acoustic guitars under the "Ibanez Salvador" name, which was later shortened to "Ibanez." Although Ibanez began manufacturing electric guitars in 1957, the company was relatively unknown in the West until the 1960s, when they started producing guitars based on American designs. By the late 1970s, Ibanez had stopped producing derivative guitars and had begun manufacturing the original designs that the company is now known for. Ibanez is also famous for their effect pedals (most notably the Tube Screamer) and guitar amplifiers.
