Overview

A Prestige electric guitar for fast, articulate metal.

The Ibanez RGR5121RB electric guitar captures the core identity of the RG as a platform built for speed, control, and consistency under pressure. Built in Japan through Ibanez’s Prestige production, this model uses a basswood body with a satin polyester finish for a lightweight, balanced feel that stays comfortable during long sessions. A bolt-on Super Wizard HP neck made from maple and wenge keeps the profile fast and rigid, while a bound rosewood fretboard with 24 jumbo stainless steel frets supports clean articulation across the full 25.5" scale length. Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic humbuckers handle electronics, controlled by a master volume, master tone, a 3-way selector, and a Fluence voicing switch that lets you move between high-output modern tones and cleaner, more fluid sounds without complicating the layout.

Super Wizard HP Neck Built for Speed

The Super Wizard HP neck is shaped with technical playing in mind, offering a thin, fast profile that stays stable under aggressive techniques. Its 5-piece maple and wenge construction adds strength without stiffness, and the satin finish keeps movement smooth and consistent. Prestige fret edge treatment further refines the feel, making fast position shifts and extended playing sessions feel natural rather than fatiguing.

Rosewood Fingerboard With Stainless Steel Frets

The bound rosewood fingerboard delivers a focused midrange with a controlled top end that pairs well with high-gain tones. 24 jumbo stainless steel frets provide a smooth, durable playing surface that responds cleanly to bends, tapping, and rapid note changes. Luminlay side dots improve visibility in low-light environments, keeping orientation easy on dark stages.

Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramics With Voicing Control

Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic humbuckers deliver aggressive attack with a tight low end and minimal noise, even at higher gain levels. The Fluence voicing switch allows you to shift from a modern active voice to a cleaner, more open response, expanding the guitar’s usable range without adding extra controls. This setup keeps rhythm tones defined while remaining articulate for lead work.

Rock-Solid Hardware for Consistent Performance

The Gibraltar Standard III bridge uses a redesigned baseplate and saddles to improve playing comfort while ensuring efficient string vibration transfer. Gotoh MG-T locking tuning machines help maintain tuning stability and make string changes quicker, keeping the guitar dependable for both live performance and studio use. Black hardware reinforces the RG’s stripped-down, performance-focused look.

A Prestige RG Built to Perform

The RG Prestige line is made for players who rely on precision and repeatability every time they plug in. Supplied with an Ibanez hardshell case, the RGR5121RB suits metal, progressive, and technical styles where speed, clarity, and stability matter most. If you want an RG that feels fast, sounds aggressive, and holds up under demanding playing, this model delivers exactly that.
