Description

The Ibanez RGD Prestige Uppercut RGD7UCS is not just an electric guitar; it's a sonic powerhouse designed for the discerning metal guitarist. Forged with precision, this 7-string beast boasts a sharp and aggressive basswood body that provides a balanced tone, perfect for high-gain soundscapes. The Wizard-7 neck, a hallmark of Ibanez craftsmanship, delivers unmatched speed and comfort with its 5-piece maple and wenge construction, fortified by KTS titanium rods for extra stability. This ensures your riffs remain tight and your solos soar effortlessly across the 24 jumbo frets treated with Ibanez's Prestige fret treatment.

At the heart of its electrifying performance are the hand-wound Bare Knuckle Aftermath humbuckers. These pickups are renowned for their fast bass response and focused midrange, projecting your music with clarity and power that's as intense as your playing. The 26.5" scale length further enhances tonal precision, allowing each note to punch through with authority during your most demanding performances.

The RGD7UCS is completed with premium hardware, including Gotoh Magnum locking tuners for quick string changes and a Tight-End hardtail bridge that ensures rock-solid tuning stability. Whether you're churning out thunderous low-end riffs or piercing high notes, this guitar is built to handle it all.
