The RGA archtop guitar not only has curves but playability.
And for live performance, its lightweight body gives players
more freedom to move on stage. The arched top also
allows players to knock down heavy riffs and power chords
without hitting the guitar body. Curved beauty and great

RGD
As a pioneer of heavy rock guitars, Ibanez has released 7- and
8-string models in the past. This year we release the RGD,
Ibanez’s new heavy metal machine.
Heavy rock guitars are required to output clear sound down to
the lowest note without losing playability. So we kept the neck
scale to a 1-inch minimum between frets, and original tuned
pickups are mounted.
Heavy rock guitarists usually hold their guitars low, and the sharp-
shaped RGD body achieves good balance and easier access to
high frets for low-slung players.

SV/Machine Head
Auto-Trim Tuner
Smart design cuts the excess string
after you re-string and tune up – no
extra cutting tool needed!
CCR Pickups
The Ibanez original CCR pickups
don’t have the same heat of
ceramic magnets, but still have the SV/Graphtech® Nut
power to cut through the mix. The Graphtech® nut on the SV models
offers ultimately low friction to keep
you in tune and gives clearer sound
and sustain.

SA
You want versatility? The SA adapts to any genre of music for
clean rhythm, crunchy blues or even hard-driving riffs and solos.
It also offers a variety of looks such as metal-like solid color
or traditional wooden finishes. The SA also makes use of the Larry Mitchell
same True-Duo pickup system available on the SV models and
the abundant resonance of the SAT-Pro tremolo.
