Fusion Edge humbuckers: made for metal

The Fusion Edge 7 humbucking pickups on the Ibanez RGDR4427FX are the result of a collaboration between Ibanez and noted pickup maker DiMarzio. Designed for down-tuned metal, Fusion Edge pickups deliver a powerful scooped sound with tight, compressed bass response and crisp high-end articulation — ideal for bludgeoning djent chugs and high-speed staccato riffing. A coil tap switch gives you even more options for subtly shaping your tone. The DiMarzio Fusion Edge pickups — a favorite among guitarists here — give you the aggressive yet precise tone that modern metal guitarists need.

Super-fast Wizard neck

The Wizard 7 neck is one of Ibanez’s fastest and slickest necks to date. Built to enable blistering speed while providing comfort, it has a 5-piece maple/wenge construction and a satin finish that won’t get sticky or hard to play during long sessions. The slim carve enables you to pull off intense lead lines with ease, but still gives you enough substance to comfortably fret chords. From the first time you hold this neck in your hand, you’ll know that this guitar was built with performance in mind.

More resonance, better articulation

The RGDR4427FX features Ibanez’s Mono-rail bridge, which uses a single bridge piece for each individual string. This provides tighter component coupling and improves the transfer of string vibrations to the tonewood for a purer, more resonant sound. Additionally, it prevents the vibration of strings from impacting each other, which can increase articulation.
