Product Description
Featuring the stunning Tree of Life inlay winding its way down a 24-fret jumbo fret, Macassar Ebony fretboard, this custom Ibanez RG8870 is here to make a statement! Combining a 5-piece Maple/Wenge neck alongside a trio of DiMarzio pickups, you can be sure of a guitar that plays as good as it looks!
Key Features
- Super Wizard AS 5 Piece Maple/Wenge Neck - This Super Wizard AS neck has a more rounded shape towards the bass side, while still retaining the overall thickness of the Super Wizard profile– 17mm at nut and 19mm at 12th fret. This asymmetric shape provides a more comfortable grip and natural feel that makes techniques like sweeping and string skipping much easier.
- Special j.custom Neck treatment - j.custom Super Wizard neck includes jumbo frets finished with Ibanez’s j.custom special fret edge treatment for a super smooth and comfortable performance. The "Velvetouch" finish on the back of the neck ensures a "just right" feel and easy playability.
- Selected Flame Maple Top (4mm) / and chambered Alder Body - Selected Flamed Maple top(4mm) flaunts a beautiful wood grain. The Alder body delivers a well-balanced bright tone, enriched resonance and sustain. The chambered body not only contributes to a lighter overall weight, but also adds just the right amount of bottom and clarity, which is preferred by today's metal players.
- DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversary / True Velvet / The Tone Zone pickups - The DiMarzio® PAF® 36th Anniversary pickup features a soft magnetic field, sweet tone, perfect balance between warmth and clarity and the ability to move between clean and distorted by just the intensity of the pick attack. This pickup, combined with the DiMarzio True Velvet and Tone Zone offers depth, warmth, and very rich dynamics.
- Deep and Bevelled Lower Horn Scoop – Allowing for easier as well as multidirectional access to the higher frets.
- Gotoh Machine Heads and Strap Lock Pins - Gotoh® machine heads provide superior precision, a smooth feel, as well as excellent tuning accuracy and stability. To enhance stability further, Gotoh Strap lock pins protect your guitar from falling under the rigours of tough stage performances.
- Lo-Pro Edge Tremolo - The legendary Lo-Pro Edge bridge offers maximum playing comfort with its streamlined profile and recessed fine tuners. Locking studs contribute further to your tuning stability.
- Coil-tap Switch - The coil tap switch adds sound and tonal variations for both pickups.
