Unleash Your Heaviest, Most Demanding Riffs

The Ibanez RGA series has long been the choice for guitarists pushing the boundaries of heavy music, and the RGA217P1PB is no exception. Its sculpted poplar burl top isn't just visually striking—it's designed for pure performance. By eliminating sharp edges and allowing for smooth, unrestricted movement, the contoured top ensures you can attack the strings with intensity, whether you're galloping through thrash rhythms or executing lightning-fast alternate picking. The American basswood body provides a balanced tonal foundation, ensuring clarity and articulation even in the lowest tunings.

High-Speed Performance With the Wizard-7 Neck

Speed and control are paramount when navigating the extended range of a seven-string, and the Ibanez RGA217P1PB delivers with its ultrathin Wizard-7 five-piece maple and walnut neck. This super sleek neck profile allows for fluid legato runs and precise chording without fatigue. The ebony fretboard enhances articulation, while jumbo stainless-steel frets ensure effortless bending and clarity on every note. Thanks to Ibanez's Premium fret edge treatment, playability remains smooth and comfortable, even during the most intense performances.

DiMarzio Fusion Edge Pickups: Power With Precision

Developed in collaboration with DiMarzio, the RGA217P1PB's Fusion Edge humbuckers provide the perfect balance of aggression and definition. The low end remains tight and controlled, the mids cut through with precision and the highs sing with a crisp, articulate attack. While these high-output humbuckers are designed to deliver crushing metal tones without any midrange muddiness, the RGA217P1PB's advanced pickup configuration allows for impressive flexibility across a wide range of playing styles. The dyna-MIX10 switching system, coupled with the Alter Switch, unlocks a versatile range of tones—from searing high-gain leads to crystal-clear clean interludes—allowing you to adapt seamlessly to any genre.

Gibraltar Standard III Bridge for Maximum Stability

Designed to handle extreme playing styles, the Gibraltar Standard III bridge provides a rock-solid foundation that enhances both sustain and resonance. Its low-profile design ensures optimal comfort for aggressive picking, while its robust construction keeps intonation locked in place, even under the heaviest playing conditions. Whether you're executing rapid-fire palm-muted riffs or allowing complex chord voicings to ring out with clarity, this bridge maintains consistency and precision. Paired with Gotoh MG-T locking tuners, your strings stay in tune through intense bends and extended sessions. Additionally, luminescent side dots ensure easy fretboard navigation, keeping you in control even under dim stage lighting.
