RG5170G-SVF (Silver Flat). Prestige with hard case. Made in Japan.
Ibanez Prestige represents a combination of state of the art manufacturing methods and ancient Japanese craftsmanship. Accuracy and precision down to the smallest detail, in everything from wood selection and parts, craftsmanship, adjustment (setup) and lacquering. The result is instruments of the highest quality with unrivaled playing comfort, where nothing is left to chance, either in terms of playing or sound.
Neck: Super Wizard HP
The guitar has a Ibanez Super Wizard HP neck profile, the thinnest and slimmest version of Ibanez necks. HP stands for a refined and evolved version of the old Super Wizard neck profile. Combined with the flat fingerboard, it's an extremely fast and easy-to-play neck, the ultimate neck for fast, technical riffing and/or difficult soloing. But the neck isn't limited to technical playing, of course you can play anything on it.
The obvious choice for those who don't want anything in the way of their ideas other than their own playing technique.
Pickups: Fishman® Fluence Modern
Fluence is a brand new take on guitar pickups and the most talked about right now.
The mod has an aggressive tone with powerful attack completely free of noise.
The Voicong switch allows you to choose between two completely different pickups (not split or parallel connection as in normal humbuckers. Either a modern, high output pickup or a second high output with a crisp, clean sound perfect for fluid legato playing.
Voice 1 - "Modern Active High Output - The ideal active ceramic humbucker tone. Crisp, burning crunch, tight bass without mud and a growl".
Voice 2 - "Modern Passive Attack - Organic, high output, passive ceramic tone. Great distortion characteristics with Fluence dynamics and response".
Bridge: Lo-Pro EDGE
The bridge is Ibanez' amazing Lo-Pro EDGE, a proven, top quality swingarm that has become the model for floating bridge performance and durability. Considered by many to be the best lockable swing system on the market. Lo-Pro is a lower version of the classic EDGE. Knife-suspended stable with a fantastically soft and smooth playing feel. With a little simple maintenance and common sense handling, it will last a lifetime (our lives, not the barn's).
Swing arm mount that works with the UTA20 Ultralite Tremolo Arm.
Bands: Stainless steel
The bands are made of stainless steel and have an extremely smooth playing feel that will last a lifetime. They are almost indestructible and last 7-8 times longer than regular frets. Benda and vibrato feel as soft as velvet. They don't need to be polished and maintained in the same way that regular frets do. Considering that the cost of a re-banding with normal frets is 3-4,000 SEK, it's easy to calculate that you can quickly save a lot of money by choosing stainless.
Body: Basswood body
The body is made of Basswood (Lind), which is a fairly light wood with an even frequency response across the entire register. This makes it a wood that is sonically easy to color in many different directions and get many different kinds of sounds out of it. The smooth frequency response also makes it very suitable for distorted sounds, it glues the sound together nicely without it becoming either scattered or indistinct
