Ibanez RGR652AHB-WK RG Series Prestige with Case — Comprehensive Overview & Specifications
Ibanez RGR652AHB-WK RG Series Prestige with Case Electric Guitar
The Ibanez RGR652AHB-WK redefines modern electric guitar design, marrying the ergonomics of the RGR body shape with premium tonewoods and cutting-edge hardware. Handcrafted in Ibanez’s Japanese Prestige facility, this instrument features a Honduran mahogany body with an African Mahogany Maple top, a Wizard™ Prestige Roasted Maple neck, and DiMarzio® Fusion Edge pickups. Packed with professional-grade components and delivered in a Nitro-Frame hardshell case, the RGR652AHB-WK delivers exceptional playability, tone flexibility, and stage-ready reliability.
1 | RGR Body Design & Tonewood Selection
The RGR model features a reversed horn contour and deeper bass-side cutaway, granting unobstructed access to the upper frets while balancing comfort during seated or standing play. Constructed with a Honduran mahogany base for warm, robust low-end, the guitar is topped with African Mahogany Maple (AHM), a lamination that enhances midrange clarity and high-frequency shimmer. The natural gloss finish highlights the wood’s grain, offering visual depth and tactile smoothness.
2 | Wizard™ Prestige Roasted Maple Neck
At its core lies the Wizard™ Prestige neck, crafted from roasted maple for superior dimensional stability and tonal resonance. The ultra-thin, flat profile supports rapid technical playing, while the satin finish on the neck back reduces friction for effortless position shifts. Roasting the maple reduces moisture absorption and enhances longevity under varying environmental conditions.
3 | Ebony Fingerboard & Frets
Paired with the neck is a premium ebony fingerboard, featuring a 400 mm radius and 24 stainless-steel jumbo frets. Ebony provides a clear, articulate tone with pronounced sustain, while the enlarged fret profile supports bending and vibrato techniques. Precision side markers and luminescent edge dots facilitate quick fretboard navigation, even under stage lighting.
4 | DiMarzio® Fusion Edge Electronics
A matched set of DiMarzio® Fusion Edge humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions deliver high-output performance, combining tight low-end response with a fluid midrange and crisp highs. The onboard piezo Pickup Direct Blend knob seamlessly mixes the magnetic pickup signal with the piezo transducer’s acoustic-like tone for versatile sonic textures. A 5-way rotary selector and push-pull tone control enable coil-splitting and a broad palette of tonal colors.
5 | Lo-Pro Edge Tremolo System
The Lo-Pro Edge tremolo bridge, accompanied by the Zero-Point system, offers smooth vibrato action and dependable tuning reset. Precision-cut saddles and low-friction pivot studs ensure minimal string drag, allowing for expressive dive bombs and subtle vibrato without sacrifice to tuning stability.
