The Ibanez Prestige RG652AHMFX was created to be a supremely playable, superb-sounding solidbody electric guitar. This guitar's distinctive ash RG body exhibits a strong treble response, and you'll appreciate the fast-playing feel of its 5-piece maple/walnut Super Wizard HP neck. If you like to push your amp for crunchy rhythms and hot leads, the RG652AHMFX will be happy to comply, thanks to DiMarzio Tone Zone and Air Norton humbuckers. The Prestige RG652AHMFX includes a rock-solid Gibraltar Standard II bridge and Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads, plus a Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut to safeguard against string binding. Head-turning Cosmo black hardware completes the impressive package.





Super Wizard HP neck plays fast and smooth





The RG652AHMFX's super-fast Super Wizard HP neck will let you execute lightning-fast runs, arpeggios, and hammer-ons with silken ease, while still providing enough substance for comfortable chording. The feel of this neck is greatly enhanced by the Prestige fret-edge treatment, an extra step Ibanez takes to ensure maximum playing comfort and long-term playability. The process essentially rounds the fret ends much more precisely than is possible by hand filing. The RG652AHMFX will feel like its neck has been lovingly played for years, right out of the factory case.





Dual DiMarzio pickups cover an expansive sonic range





There's no denying the massive range of tone you can get out the Ibanez Prestige RG652AHMFX's combo of DiMarzio pickups. The DiMarzio Tone Zone at the bridge is a hot humbucker with a super-wide dynamic range. It's a perfect complement to the RG652AHMFX's DiMarzio Air Norton at the neck, which is deep, warm, and remarkably clean. The guitarists here at Sweetwater love this ultra-flexible pickup combination, and you will, too.





RG playability with fixed-bridge stability





While you may expect to see a whammy bar on an Ibanez RG, the RG652AHMFX sports a Gibraltar Standard II fixed bridge ? a dream come true if you prefer a hardtail axe. You'll appreciate the Gibraltar Standard II's extreme low profile, which offers the comfort of a traditional RG floating trem with the exceptional stability and reliability you can only get from a fixed bridge. If you've always wanted an RG-series guitar, but prefer not to mess with a floating bridge, the RG652AHMFX was made just for you.
