Here for sale we have an Ibanez RGIX20FEQM electric guitar in Sapphire Blue Sunburst finish. Made in Indonesia in 2015, this guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising a Basswood body with a Quilted Maple top, 3 piece Maple/Bubinga neck and 24 fret Ebony fingerboard. Gold hardware is fitted, including an Ibanez Gibraltar II string-through-body hardtail bridge and Gotoh SG381 MG-T Locking tuning machines. A EMG 81 humbucker is installed in the bridge and a EMG 60 humbucker is installed in the neck, these are wired to a 3-way blade switch, master volume and coil split toggle controls.
The 3 piece Maple/Bubinga neck plays very well. The Nitro Wizard profile feels rather more substantial than a typical Ibanez, whilst remaining slim enough for fast articulate playing. Certainly, the neck inspires confidence in the hand and adds a sense of character to the playing experience. This is further enhanced by the open-pore finish of the Bubinga centre of the neck. This provides a smooth yet tactile surface under the thumb which is very pleasant when playing. The Ebony fingerboard is pleasant to the touch, and with its 15.75" radius provides a nicely flat and consistent playing surface right the way up the register.
The pair of EMG humbucking pickups installed in this guitar deliver a thick and searing distortion tone, well suited to the heavy rock and metal genres that you would associate with this guitar. The EMG 60 in the neck position is round and powerful, pushing your lead lines and solos to the front of the mix with ease. The EMG 812 bridge pickup is brighter, saturating into a heavy, crushing tone, perfect for your rock riffs and rhythm parts, whilst the killswitch is perfect for chopping up notes, licks and riffs to create a stutter effect.
Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers.
