Ibanez IV2RG Electric Guitar with case

The Ibanez IV2RG is a premium, Japanese-made electric guitar designed for players who want precise response, effortless upper-fret access and a wide range of amplified sounds. Its striking burl maple top sits over a black limba body, while a five-piece maple and purpleheart Super Wizard neck runs through the instrument. The result is a distinctive RG that combines expressive appearance with serious stage and studio specifications.

Neck-through feel and detailed fretwork

The neck-through design connects the five-piece maple/purpleheart neck through the guitar body. Ibanez pairs it with an ebony fingerboard, a decorative Tree of Life inlay and 24 jumbo stainless-steel frets with custom edge treatment. The slim Super Wizard neck profile is intended for quick position changes and demanding fretting techniques, while the 25.5-inch scale supports familiar string tension and standard tuning. Players moving from a thicker-neck guitar should try the profile to see whether its slender feel suits them.

DiMarzio HSH pickup flexibility

The pickup layout combines a DiMarzio Air Norton humbucker at the neck, a True Velvet single coil in the middle and a Tone Zone humbucker at the bridge. A five-way selector provides several combinations, giving you options for articulate clean passages, textured rhythm sounds and driven solos. Master Volume and Tone controls let you adjust the balance further. The HSH format is particularly useful if your music demands more than one humbucker sound without changing guitars.

Lo-Pro Edge tremolo and hardware

A Lo-Pro Edge double-locking tremolo supports controlled pitch effects and expressive vibrato. As with any locking tremolo, string changes and alternate tunings require more preparation than on a fixed-bridge guitar. Gotoh machine heads and strap-lock pins add practical hardware features for regular performance. The instrument is supplied with a hardshell case, helping protect the guitar during storage and transport.

Who should choose the IV2RG?

The IV2RG is suited to experienced players seeking a high-specification RG for progressive rock, modern metal, technical lead work and broad studio use. It is also an appealing collector-grade instrument thanks to its distinctive materials and finish. If you rely on frequent tuning changes, consider whether a locking tremolo matches your workflow.
