Incredibly fast Super Wizard HP neck





Ibanez Wizard necks are thin and built for speed, and they enable effortless playability and comfort. The RG5120M takes that design to the next level with its 5-piece maple/wenge Super Wizard HP neck. The just-right feel provided by this neck's satin finish encourages lightning-fast runs, arpeggios, and hammer-ons. Capping the neck is a 24-fret bird’s-eye maple fingerboard, loaded with stainless steel jumbo frets that are perfect for big note bends.





Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers





The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers in the Prestige RG5120M deliver the most sought-after humbucking tones, from modern active to high-output humbucking. Unlike most wire-wound models, Fluence pickups manage to serve up this massive tone arsenal without noise or inductance issues. On top of that, Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups provide you with your choice of two distinctly different voices for each pickup. You can change the voicing via dedicated selector switch.





Palm muting never felt so good with the Lo-Pro Edge tremolo





Whether you palm mute with precision or simply have a wild strumming style, few things are worse than getting hung up on your bridge during a furious performance. Guitar players at Sweetwater all agree the Ibanez Lo-Pro Edge bridge gets out of the way of your playing while still serving up maximum expression and tuning stability. You'll barely know it's there, thanks to its streamlined profile and recessed fine tuners. And you'll have additional tuning stability thanks to the locking studs.
