Fixed bridge stability for rock-solid tuning





The Ibanez RGRTB621 Iron Label sports a fixed Mono-rail bridge, which gives you the peace of mind that comes from rock-solid tuning stability. From standard to lowered tunings, your guitar's pitch will remain more stable, and the string tension will feel more consistent. Changing tunings during a gig goes much faster, compared to messing with a vibrato bridge and dealing with locking nuts. Plus, you’ll enjoy increased sustain and a fatter overall tone due to the way the mono-rail bridges transfer the string's energy directly to the guitar's body.





Nitro Wizard neck and ebony fingerboard





The 5-piece maple/walnut neck on the RGRTB621 features Ibanez's Nitro Wizard neck profile, which gives you effortless access to this guitar's entire range. And for the ultimate in playability, the neck is capped with a luxurious ebony fingerboard, providing you with unbelievably smooth fretting. The guitarists here at Sweetwater can't get enough of the RGRTB621's fast Nitro Wizard neck.





Fusion Edge humbuckers: made for metal





The Fusion Edge humbucking pickups on the RGRTB621 are the result of a collaboration between Ibanez and noted pickup maker DiMarzio. Designed for aggressive metal, Fusion Edge pickups deliver a powerful scooped sound with tight, compressed bass response and crisp high-end articulation ? ideal for bludgeoning djent chugs and high-speed staccato riffing. The RGRTB621's DiMarzio Fusion Edge pickups give you the forceful yet precise tone that modern metal guitarists need. Beyond that, Ibanez's dyna-MIX 10 switching system provides 10 different pickup combinations via a mini-toggle and 5-way blade switch. Whatever tone you're hearing in your head, the RGRTB621 can achieve it.
