Three decades of metal have forged this high-performance machine, honing it for both speed and strength. Whether you favor a hardtail bridge or the Ibanez locking tremolo system, the RG is a precision instrument. The RGRT features neck-through construction and reverse headstock.

The Iron Label line was originally developed with metal and nothing but metal in mind. Ibanez modded and tweaked until Ibanez got to the heaviest-hitting metal axes they've ever built. They're purposefully spartan, and you won't find a feature here that doesn't contribute directly to a bone rattling, earth shattering tones these guitars pump out. Carrying forward that same philosophy, the next generation of Iron Label guitars take this raw metal energy to a completely another level. They sport totally blacked out looks, and their supercharged electronics amounting to some of the heaviest-swinging metal axes.
