Description
The Ibanez RGR52ET Axe Design Lab in Black is a true workhorse built for players who demand speed, precision, and stability. Perfect for intermediate to pro-level guitarists who lean into heavier styles, this RG model channels over three decades of Ibanez innovation. Designed under the Axe Design Lab banner, it's all about pushing boundaries with forward-thinking features that make a real difference on stage or in the studio.
This RGR52ET comes loaded with a set of Fishman Fluence Modern pickups; Alnico in the neck for warmth and Ceramic in the bridge for aggressive bite, giving you massive tonal flexibility. The Evertune bridge locks your tuning in place no matter how hard you play, and the 3-piece Maple Wizard III neck paired with a Macassar Ebony fretboard keeps things fast, slick, and super responsive. Stainless steel jumbo frets round it all out with smooth, long-lasting playability, making this a seriously durable and consistent guitar for demanding players.
It's comfortable too; the thin, flat neck profile and ergonomic body shape make extended sessions easy whether you're tracking or playing live. The Evertune system means you spend way less time tuning and more time playing. We're big fans of this one for anyone needing a modern, high-performance guitar that stays rock-solid under pressure.
