Ibanez RG450DXB Left-Handed Guitar

A responsive as well as a reliable guitar, the RG450DXB left handed screams metal. The Ibanez RG line has a great reputation for fast playability and an expressive tone to your playing style. The rich white finish with white pickguard makes for a classic visual statement on this RG's basswood body, and the sharktooth inlays in the bound rosewood fretboard add a touch of throwback vibe. As the originators of the thin, fast neck, the Wizard III is yet another achievement in player comfort which translates into maximizing player performance. The proprietary Quantum humbucking pickups yield a whole palette of thick, distorted tone textures. But few things can better animate a guitar performance than the Ibanez STD-DL tremolo system.

Wizard III Maple Neck

Ibanez's thin, flat, and fast, yet strong and sturdy, Wizard neck offers unlimited playability for demanding players, and features a two-octave 24-fret fretboard for wide tonal range.

Quantum Pickups

Quantum pickups provide accelerated bass response for exceptionally fast tracking of high-speed staccato riffing with crushing mid range and precise high-end articulation.

If you are a lefty like me, you take your chances when buying any guitar, off the shelf or custom built, either one. There is always a better chance of getting a lemon. My RG450DXB was nearly flawless right out of the box and only required minor adjusting to achieve perfection. Now, it plays incredibly fast and easy. The thin neck is pure Ibanez. Same with the pickups. All hardware is of superior quality. This is one incredible guitar and one incredible value.
