The RG is the most recognizable and distinctive guitar in the Ibanez line. Three decades of metal have forged this high-performance machine, honing it for both speed and strength. Whether you favor a hardtail (fixed) bridge or our industry-leading locking tremolo system, the RG is a precision instrument.

A high-performance 9-string electric guitar with an innovative combination of features is the Ibanez Axe Design Lab RG9PB. The RG9PB is constructed with a resonant nyatoh body and a striking poplar burl top. This guitar's 5-piece Wizard-9 neck and 24-fret Macassar ebony fingerboard are incredibly playable, and its active Fishman Fluence humbuckers produce an enormous variety of high-octane tones with no extra noise. Additionally, you receive a Gibraltar Standard II-9 hardtail bridge, which provides the best vibration transfer and playing comfort — an absolute must for players who frequently use palm-muted techniques. The RG9PB has a satin finish, an eye-catching Graph Tech nut, and sturdy Ibanez tuning machinery. Want to learn more about a design for an extended-range guitar? If so, the Axe Design Lab RG9PB is prepared to serve as your tour guide for a downtuned journey.
