New for Summer 2008 is the RG770DXLB Reissue which features an original Edge bridges, DiMarzio/IBZ pickups, colored sharktooth inlays and 5-piece Wizard necks with original 1987 dimensions.
For two decades, the legion of RG warriors has grown like a virus, thrusting the RG to the head of the metal pack. Fast, flat Prestige necks, rabid pickups and double-locking trems combine to create sonic demons from beyond the world of mortals.
These are the machines of the gods…with drop dead good looks, sonic lethality and the devastating power and control of a precision Edge Zero bridge with ZPS3 spring system or Edge Pro bridge. RG Prestige guitars feature flawless Japanese craftsmanship, the finest materials and each is axe perfectly matched with DiMarzio IBZ pickups.
“The 2008 RG770DX has all the goods that made the originals such coveted collectors items: basswood body finished in either LB Laser Blue or RR Ruby Red, original Edge tremolo with its great feel and tone, USA-made DiMarzio/IBZ pickups and, perhaps most important of all, the original thin, flat and fast Wizard neck,” remarked Pete Chiovarou of Ibanez. “Actually, not exactly the original Wizard neck. The dimensions are the same, but the 2008 version features 5pc maple/walnut construction for even greater strength and stability. And like the originals, the 2008 Ibanez RG770DX limited production reissue is a peerless example of precision Japanese craftsmanship.”
