An Aggressive Axe with Prestigious Playability
If you're searching for a mild-mannered guitar, look elsewhere — the Ibanez Prestige RGR5130 is anything but. Its basswood body supplies you with a foundation for squeaky cleans and high-gain mayhem that’s expressive and transparent. Beyond that, its Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers churn out aggressive yet articulate high-gain tones that are sure to impress. You'll experience a major speed boost, too, courtesy of a comfortable 5-piece Super Wizard HP neck and fast-playing Macassar ebony fingerboard. Want to knock this axe out of tune? That’s no easy feat thanks to its Lo-Pro Edge double-locking tremolo complete with discrete high-mass construction that provides exceptional sustain and stability while shrinking the system's profile to keep hardware out of your way. You also get Gotoh machine heads for super-smooth tuning adjustments. Luminlay side dots and an attractive gloss finish round out the RGR5130’s high-status features.

Incredibly fast Super Wizard HP neck
Ibanez Wizard necks are thin and built for speed, and the guitarists here at Sweetwater love them for their effortless playability and comfort. The RGR5130 takes that design to the next level with its 5-piece bolt-on maple/wenge Super Wizard HP neck. The just-right feel provided by this neck's satin finish encourages lightning-fast runs, arpeggios, and hammer-ons. Capping the neck is a 24-fret bound Macassar ebony fingerboard, loaded with stainless steel jumbo frets that are perfect for big note bends.
Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers
The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers in the Prestige RGR5130 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 mini toggle between the knobs.
Lo-Pro Edge bridge preserves string access and stability
The Lo-Pro Edge on the Prestige RGR5130 is a licensed Floyd Rose-inspired double-locking tremolo bridge produced by Gotoh for the RGR5130 and other Ibanez Prestige models. The bridge’s ultra-discrete profile prevents hardware from spoiling your access to strings, which opens up freedom for even more extreme techniques and ambitious riffs. The Lo-Pro Edge’s string locks and fine tuners are independent of one another, which facilitates extensive setup customization without adding bulk. High-mass metal construction grants all the sustain you could desire, and a convenient pop-in arm makes for virtually instant setup when it is time to practice or perform. Here at Sweetwater, our Ibanez aficionados find the Lo-Pro Edge to be a savvy iteration of old-school tremolos that checks every box an Ibanez player could want.
