The Ibanez Prestige series represents the combination of cutting-edge manufacturing techniques and old-world Japanese craftsmanship. The Ibanez RG5000s add a few tweaks to attract the modern-day players who are seeking something new. These high-performance Ibanez Prestige guitars will allow you to develop your range, tone and technique.

With the goal in mind to create guitars that are beyond the best, Ibanez carefully developed the modern specifications for its Prestige series. The Ibanez RG5000 series features stainless steel frets for a bright tone, long durability and smoothness. The RG5000 series also features a 5-piece maple/wenge neck, a beautiful wood grain fretboard, made-in-Japan luminlay side dots and cutting-edge pickups.

The Ibanez RGR5221 boasts a Macassar ebony fretboard and ash top with African mahogany body. The RGR5221’s Super Wizard HP neck and the meticulous Prestige fret edge treatment provide extra-smooth playing. The U.K.-made, hand-wound Bare Knuckles pickups are some of the most high-profile pickups being used by today’s professional metal guitarists. Bare Knuckles’ high output Brute Force pickups produce a deep, saturated tone which perfectly fits into today’s metal mayhem. The Gibraltar Standard II bridge promotes the optimal transfer of the vibration of each string. The Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads achieve incredible tuning stability and cut down on string-changing time. A hardshell case is included.
