The RGD is Ibanez's ultimate metal machine. The demands of "downtuning" require a specific response design that is not found in "normal" guitars.
To optimize the rich and desirable tonal thickness that tuning down produces, we lengthened the neck by one inch to a 26.5” scale. Longer than standard, but not too long.
The neck is still considered a "fast" neck for fast solos. The extra-deep cuts provide comfortable access to the highest notes on the neck.
