With its lightning-fast 7-piece Wizard neck and stunning poplar burl top, the Ibanez RGT1220PB is a showstopping speed demon. An American basswood body provides a balanced tone, and a gorgeous ebony fretboard — punctuated with jumbo stainless-steel frets — sings out with lively projection and miles of sustain. The Ibanez RGT1220PB's DiMarzio Air Norton and Tone Zone humbuckers are voiced for metal, brimming with aggression and ready to howl. Toneshapers at Music Experience delight in the dyna-MIX 10 switching system, which offers extensive control over the sound of this formidable axe. On top of that, the Ibanez RGT1220PB features the renowned Edge tremolo bridge for massive divebombs and warbling vibrato. All this adds up to a solidbody electric that's a rock 'n' rolling, metal-making machine.

Iconic Wizard neck offers high-speed playability

Since its invention, the Wizard neck profile has been an Ibanez hallmark. And you'll find the third-generation Wizard III on the Ibanez RGT1220PB solidbody electric guitar. Its incredibly thin contour is a favorite among speed-happy players, as it allows unfettered movement up and down the fretboard. And its maple/walnut construction provides a stable neck while offering increased sustain and tonal attack.

DiMarzio humbuckers are made for metal

There’s no denying the massive range of tone that you can get out of the Ibanez RGT1220PB 's duo of DiMarzio pickups. First, there’s the DiMarzio Tone Zone at the bridge — a hot humbucker with a super-wide dynamic range. It’s a perfect complement to the RGT1220PB 's DiMarzio Air Norton at the neck, which is deep, warm, and remarkably clean, with just the right amount of brightness for chimey chord work. Beyond that, Ibanez's dyna-MIX 10 switching system provides 10 different pickup combinations via a mini-toggle and 5-way blade switch. Whatever tone you're hearing in your head, the RGT1220PB can achieve it.

Edge tremolo provides expressive pitch pyrotechnics

When it comes to maximum expressive potential, nothing beats the range of a double-locking tremolo — and the Ibanez Edge tremolo found in the RGT1220PB is one of the best. Manufactured for Ibanez by Gotoh, the Edge tremolo delivers reliable action and rock-solid tuning stability. The response is fast and precise, and the ultra-smooth feel of the low-profile saddles is ideal for palm muting.

There are three principles behind our new Ibanez Prestige line: Precision, Performance, and Playability. The combination of high-tech manufacturing techniques with old-world Japanese craftsmanship, true innovation in design and construction, and the incorporation of ideas and suggestions from musicians from around the world are the cornerstones of the Prestige production process.
