Description
Introducing the Ibanez RG5170B Prestige - a show-stopping guitar that not only captivates the eyes with its stunning design but also delivers powerful, punchy tones and an unrivaled playing experience. Tailor-made for high-gain guitarists seeking a premium instrument that outperforms the conventional metal guitar, the RG5170B Prestige is an ultra-advanced axe that'll impress even the pickiest musicians.
Crafted around a basswood body, the RG5170B Prestige projects a well-balanced sound with exceptional articulation. But guitarists will really enjoy its Super Wizard HP neck - with its thin, flat profile, it's perfect for high-speed shredding. They'll also love its glass-smooth Macassar ebony fingerboard and deep double-cutaway body, which allow for unrestricted riffing in the upper register. And, of course, it wouldn't be a bonafide metal machine if it didn't have a Lo-Pro Edge Tremolo bridge that allows for deep bends and face-melting divebombs.
Driving this beast is a trio of Fishman Fluence pickups that churn out a stellar array of contemporary rock tones. The neck and bridge humbuckers produce a muscular growl with ample punch and power, while the middle single-coil pickup boasts a warm, clear voice. Mix these pickups together via the 5-way selector, and you'll have access to nearly any tone imaginable. For guitarists seeking extra sonic versatility, the RG5170B has a mini-toggle switch that unlocks a different sound from each Fishman humbucker.
This formidable guitar also features Gotoh tuners, jumbo stainless steel frets, mother-of-pearl inlays, and dazzling gold hardware. If you've been searching for an aggressive yet elegantly designed instrument that stands out in both aesthetics and performance, you need to elevate your sound with the Ibanez RG5170B Prestige.
