Ibanez Prestige Axe Design Lab RGA622XH-BK Black Electric Guitar with Case

General

Dropped from the esteemed Axe Design Lab, the Prestige Series Ibanez RGA622XH drips with the unrivalled playability demanded by even faster and even more technical lead work. This model is home to an ultra-extended note range thanks to a Macassar ebony fretboard loaded with twenty-seven jumbo frets. The smooth and snug feel of the Prestige fret-edge treatment and the ultra-flat 16.9 inch radius don't do any harm either. This setup immediately lightens the action, so holding a note feels effortless and note-death is rendered a distant memory. High-precision, stable tuning is 100% assured by the mounted Lo-Pro Edge double-locking tremolo bridge which supports flawless intonation as well as extreme tremolo arm tricks, and as you'd expect, this Japanese-made bombshell comes complete with a hardshell case and multi-tool.

The Ibanez Axe Lab Design RGA622XH with DiMarzio Pups

Besides an outstanding level of playability, Ibanez have kitted out this less-than-humble six-string with a solid RGA body hewn from a high-quality chunk of African mahogany. This is paired with a two-piece set of DiMarzio pickups: The Tone Zone dual-coil sits at the bridge while the Air Norton S single-coil has been planted askew at the neck, where it takes a ruthless bite out of the end of the fretboard. Steer the output via the volume and tone pots, the three-way selector switch - and as an awesome bonus - the coil-tap mini-switch, to flip through no-less-than six different pickup configurations and a rich, technicolour array of tonal profiles. Other smaller yet just as deluxe details include a set of Gotoh machines heads and a full gold-plated hardware pack. In short, this is clean, tight and immaculately finished sonic-based quality.
