or years the Ibanez RG has been the choice for the shred guitarist who needed a workhorse that would just work every night. Its simple design and stellar performance made it an instant hit that is still popular today. Now the RGA is coming to join in with the same incredible performance but a more elegant design including an arched flame Maple top and a sleek all black finish. Great Feeling While a lot of Ibanez guitars use Basswood or Ash for the body to really bring out the high end pop and fast attack you want for modern metal the RGAIX6GM instead uses Mahogany. The reason? It makes it a much more versatile tone machine that can work for a wider range of styles and gives it the punchy low end required for metal rhythms. The neck has been carved to Ibanez’s popular Nitro Wizard style that brings out the best in your playing. Nothing is getting in the way of you becoming a complete shred demon on this guitar as the flatter back and rounded neck heel stay out of the way lettings your hands have complete freedom.
