Product information - IBANEZ Prestige RG5170G-SVF Silver Flat

Electric guitar with Fishman Fluence pickups in HSH setup and Lo-Pro Edge tremolo, including case

With the Ibanez Prestige RG5170G-SVF Silver Flat Ibanez sends a chic all-round metal guitar into the race, which combines an enormous variety of sounds with the usual great playability. Besides the basswood body in the sleek RG design Ibanez uses a "Super Wizard HP neck" made of maple and wenge, which promises excellent playing characteristics on the 24-fret Macassar ebony fingerboard. At the guitar amp, a HSH pickup setup consisting of two Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers and a Fishman single-width pickup provides a versatile spectrum of first-class clean and overdrive sounds that present every note with clear articulation even at low tunings. Last but not least, an extremely tuning stable Lo-Pro Edge Double Locking Tremolo and Gotoh tuners complete the Prestige RG5170G-SVF Silver Flat electric guitar by Ibanez.

RG guitar with agile handling

In terms of construction, the Ibanez RG5170 naturally follows the proven guidelines for excellent handling and dignified sound qualities. While the linden body fits perfectly to the body thanks to the generous contours at the front and back, the flowing "All Access Neck Joint" and wide Cutaways allow unhindered access to the high registers of the bolt-on neck. The neck is made of five-piece maple and wenge, and the extremely flat "Super Wizard HP" profile and the stainless steel fretboard in jumbo format create agile playing characteristics for tight riffing and virtuoso solos. In addition to beautiful Offset dots, fluorescent Luminlay side dots mark the layers of the Macassar ebony fingerboard.


Fishman Fluence pickups in HSH setup

In order to be able to call up a particularly broad sound spectrum between glassy cleans and brute Distortion at the guitar amplifier, Ibanez equips the Prestige RG5170 with Fishman Fluence pickups in the HSH setup. On the neck and bridge, Fishman Fluence Modern pickups with Alnico and ceramic magnets, respectively, deliver contemporary active humbucker sounds that present every note with sharply defined contours and crisp Attack even at drop tunings and maximum gain. The mini-switch invokes a second humbucker voicing on demand, with the organic, warm tonal character of traditional hot-rodded pickups. The Fishman Fluence single-width pickup in middle position, on the other hand, promises a clear and present single-coil tone without unwanted ambient noise. A classic 5-way circuit with general volume and tone controls also grants full control over the pickups.

Edge Tremolo and Gotoh Tuner

The Prestige RG5170G-SVF Silver Flat is rounded off by high-quality hardware that meets even the highest demands for reliability and road suitability. The bridge is the popular Ibanez Lo-Pro Edge Double-Locking Tremolo, which not only convinces with its buttery-smooth handling, but also keeps the tuning with unshakable stability even after the heaviest whammy bar attacks. On the headstock in the typical RG design, Gotoh tuners also promise extremely precise tuning processes.
