Full Description

Beautifully Finished Basswood Body

The Ibanez RG2550Z features a strong and sturdy basswood body finished in a captivating mystic night metallic colour, coupled with a black mirror pickguard to create a truly eye-catching instrument. Players will love the elegant contours and the comfortable performance, suitable for a range of playing styles. In addition, a double cutaway design offers easier access to the higher frets and flexibility across the whole rosewood fingerboard.

The Wizard HP Maple/Walnut Neck

It’s neck is crafted from maple and walnut, creating an incredibly bright, smooth tone with and excellent sustain and stability. Plying multiple woods together helps strengthen the neck more than single wood necks, offering more stability and prevent warping and bending from extensive performances. Although maple and walnut are a naturally smooth wood, the RG2550Z feature’s Ibanez’s wizard high-performance profile which is designed for shredders. This design is optimised for lead guitarists, as its thin nature helps players perform swift and nimble runs with ease.

Powerful DiMarzio Trio

The Ibanez RG guitar’s monstrous tone is achieved through the three powerful DiMarzio pickups, featuring an Air Norton humbucker, a The Tone Zone humbucker, and a True Velvet single-coil for the ultimate versatility. Use the Air Norton to create deep, warm tones with superb harmonics, or switching for The Tone Zone to produce a wide dynamic range with a powerful projection. Using the middle True Velvet single-coil provides a more balanced tone than the other two, perfect for times when extra clarity is needed. Use the volume, tone, and 5-way pickup selector to dial in the perfect sound for any situation.

Edge Zero Tremolo

The Ibanez Edge Zero is a high performance double locking tremolo first introduced in 2010, featuring similarities with both the Lo-Pro Edge tremolo and the original Floyd Rose Tremolo. This design created a unique and extremely versatile floating tremolo system which provides an added range of playing capabilities and improved tuning stability.

Barless Top-Lok Nut

The Barless Top-Lok Nut is yet another innovative feature from Ibanez which eliminates the need for a retainer bar to maintain string tension. Through its simple design and careful injection moulding production process, it holds the strings at the correct angle whilst remaining smooth and ergonomic.
