Ibanez RG5320-CSW RG Series Prestige with Case — Comprehensive Overview & Specifications
Ibanez RG5320-CSW RG Series Prestige with Case Electric Guitar
The Ibanez RG5320-CSW introduces a chambered-body design to the RG Series Prestige line, blending reduced weight with acoustic-like resonance. Crafted in Japan’s Prestige workshop, it pairs a flute-chambered Nyatoh plywood body with a flamed maple top, a Roasted Wizard™ II maple neck, and Quantum™ pickups. Delivered in a Nitro-Frame hardshell case, the RG5320-CSW offers premium tone, comfort, and professional-grade reliability.
1 | Chambered Nyatoh Plywood Body & Flamed Maple Top
The RG5320-CSW’s body features precision routs creating internal chambers within Nyatoh plywood, reducing weight and enhancing resonance. Its flamed maple top adds brightness and visual appeal. This combination delivers a warm low end, detailed midrange, and shimmering highs, balancing acoustic warmth on clean tones with focused attack under distortion.
2 | Wizard™ II Roasted Maple Neck
The 25.5” scale Wizard™ II neck, crafted from roasted maple, provides a thin, fast profile. Roasting stabilizes the wood, minimizing environmental impact on action and intonation. A satin finish on the neck back ensures smooth, frictionless hand movement for technical playing.
3 | Ebony Fingerboard & Jumbo Stainless-Steel Frets
An ebony fingerboard with a 400 mm radius hosts 24 stainless-steel jumbo frets. Ebony’s density contributes to clarity and sustained note response. The jumbo fret size accommodates expressive bends and vibrato, while side luminescent markers aid navigation in low light.
4 | Quantum™ Pickups & Sound Versatility
Equipped with Quantum™ humbuckers at neck and bridge, the RG5320-CSW offers balanced clarity, tight lows, and articulate highs. A 3-way blade switch and master tone/volume controls deliver straightforward yet versatile tonal shaping, suitable for genres from blues to heavy metal.
5 | Lo-Pro Edge Tremolo with Zero-Point System
The Lo-Pro Edge tremolo, featuring the Zero-Point system, provides stable dive bombs and subtle vibrato. Precision-milled saddles and low-profile design reduce friction, ensuring the bridge returns to its neutral position with accuracy.
6 | Gotoh® Locking Machine Heads
Premium Gotoh® locking tuners facilitate rapid string changes and maintain tuning stability under heavy tremolo use and aggressive playing styles.
7 | Ergonomic Design Features
Deep body contours, a contoured heel, and beveled edges ensure player comfort. The chambered design further reduces fatigue, making it ideal for extended performances and studio sessions.
8 | Nitro-Frame Hardshell Case
A custom Nitro-Frame hardshell case secures the RG5320-CSW during transport. Reinforced latches and plush interior lining protect the guitar from impacts, moisture, and temperature changes.
9 | Performance Applications
The RG5320-CSW excels across musical contexts—with its chambered-body warmth and Quantum pickup clarity—suited for classic rock, jazz fusion, and modern metal. Its ergonomic lightness makes technical playing more fluid and comfortable.
