Get ready. Fishman Fluence pickups bring the RG5170G proudly into the realm of superior tone. Using cutting edge technology and ceramic magnets, they produce sounds which are full of attack and aggression, filling high gain tones with richness and saturation. Using the three way pickup selector, you can switch between the neck, bridge, and middle pickups, with the middle position using both. They are world renowned, emitting virtually no unwanted hum or noise.
The ultimate pickups. Two voicing options, which can be activated with the voicing switch, allow you to access two unique sounds. The first voicing creates an active, high output tone which will scream with an incredibly tight bass response and mountains of crunch. The second mode emits a more passive, fluid tone which is well rounded and also has plenty of high output goodness. Armed with these sonic tools, you'll have everything you need to push your sound and performance to perfection.
Neck wizardry
Can you feel the sorcery? The RG5170G Prestige's Super Wizard HP maple/wenge neck is one impressive creation, providing you with dreamy manoeuvrability. Ibanez are more than well known for their thin, shred-friendly necks, but this raises the bar. Boasting Prestige fret edge treatment for smooth fretting, you'll have total freedom across the entire fretboard. Your hand will skim down the neck like a meteorite, allowing you to play as fast and aggressively as you desire. The bright, dense resonance of the neck also gives you note you play even more crispness and authority, providing the ultimate impact.
Ebony excellence
Pure majesty. Ebony is undoubtedly one of the finest fretboard materials in the world. Your fingers will feel caressed by its smoothness and flawless feel. Fret movements will be natural and free whilst your fingers glide along effortlessly. Offering a bright resonance of its own as well as plenty of note sustain, your music will be ablaze with astonishing articulation and bold bite. Reach your full potential.
Lo-Pro vibrato
Lock and load. A professional standard Lo-Pro Edge bridge lock your strings in a vice grip. It also allows for unlimited whammy bar action, so you can put some volcanic vibrato into your riffs. There's also a premium hard case included, which is incredibly sturdy and ensures that your guitar will be safe and secure whenever you're transporting it. Topped off with a stunning, prestigious finish, this special Prestige model represents the pinnacle of modern guitar design.
