DISC Ibanez Prestige RG1550MZ Electric Guitar, Black

Full Description

Used back in the 80's by the likes of Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, the RG series of guitars became synonymous with guitarist's seeking to push the boundaries of various genres of music. Still a firm favourite today the RG is still at the forefront of guitar technology.

RG Tremolo models stand up to the most abusive whammy bar users around, while still maintaining perfect tuning stability. Lightning fast fretboard work is no problem with the Wizard neck, flat fingerboard and jumbo frets.

RG Prestige/Wizard HP Neck - Refined fast Prestige Wizard neck offers better grip, feel and tone - 18mm width at 1st fret and 20mm at the 12th.

Neck Shape - Each series of Prestige features the best suited neck shape for the player's tastes.

Edge-Zero Tremolo - The Edge-Zero has a sharp knife-edge for extremely accurate tremolo playing. This tremolo also uses Ibanez innovations to keep string action constant and the bridge surface smooth. The specially designed arm socket prevents unnecessary wobble from the arm while providing full control over the arm's torque.

ZPS3 Zero Point System - The ZPS3 is the next stage of zero point systems. Made of lightweight Duralumin, the addition of two outer springs makes the guitar easier to tune and provides much greater tuning stability. In fact, the other strings will stay in tune even if you break a string. If you prefer a full floating tremolo setup, simply remove the stop bar.

V7/S1/V8 Pickup - The RG1550MZ can dial in any tone, from crystal clear to searing and nasty, thanks to its V7 neck pickup, S1 middle pickup and V8 bridge pickup combination.

Collet Knob - Designed for great looks and engineered to avoid the risk of coming off while you're playing. The non-slip functionality gives this collet knob accurate axis rotation and control for any player.

Barless Top-Lok - The Barless Top-Lok eliminates the need for a retainer bar to maintain string tension. Through its simple design, it holds the correct angle for the strings without one. The metal-injection molding process means that all the edges remain smooth, so you won't hurt your hands.
