Incredibly fast Wizard-7 neck
Ibanez Wizard necks are thin and built for speed, and they enable effortless playability and comfort. The RGR5227MFX takes that design to the next level with its 5-piece maple/wenge Wizard-7 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 bird’s-eye maple fingerboard, loaded with stainless steel jumbo frets that are perfect for big note bends.
Bare Knuckle Brute Force 7 humbuckers
Sweetwater is unbelievably excited to see the outcome of the partnership between Ibanez and Bare Knuckle pickups. By loading a duo of Bare Knuckle's Brute Force 7 humbucking pickups into the Prestige RGR5227MFX, Ibanez is ensuring the guitar screams with the combative voice they envisioned. Brute Force 7 humbuckers are hand-wound by Bare Knuckle to deliver high output and a deep, saturated tone that’s ideal for progressive metal, thrash, hardcore, and extreme metal. On top of that, the RGR5227MFX boasts a coil tap switch that unlocks a wide range of single-coil tones.
Rock-solid Gibraltar II-7 bridge
To give the RGR5227MFX unbeatable stability and sustain, Ibanez turned to their time-tested Gibraltar II-7 bridge. This simple fixed bridge design anchors solidly to the body, providing maximum string-to-body transfer. It also features a super-low profile and a smooth surface, making the RGR5227MFX super-comfortable to play and giving your picking hand an optimal degree of clearance for speed picking techniques. For high-performance guitar playing, the Gibraltar II-7 is definitely a favorite.
