New for 2019. The Axion Label models make up Ibanez's new series of ultra-powerful guitars designed to withstand the heaviest playing you can muster, as well as making your licks sound truly legendary. Aimed at metal guitarists but also containing features which would make any musician's jaw drop, they excel in playability and tone. Provide everything a modern guitarist could ever want from their axe, you're sure to find these instruments to be outstanding.
Each note is intensified. DiMarzio Fusion Edge humbucker pickups work incredibly well together to give your sound astonishing clarity, with their high output providing you with a colossal sound. The solid articulation will make anything you play on the RGD71AL sound tight, whether you're palm muting the bottom seventh string or shredding on higher frets.
They will bring out this instrument's true tonal range and respond incredibly smoothly to any riffs which you find yourself tearing through. The bridge position pickup is ideal for bringing out saturation and crispness on the lower strings, while the neck position will make your lead licks erupt with a resounding richness. Once you hear how far these pickups can take your sound, you'll be determined to push your music right to the edge.
Full bodied and bright. The layered ash and walnut body combined with a 5mm flamed maple top are part of what makes this guitar's tone simmer with fiery fullness and aggression. The walnut wood adds plenty of brightness and attack to your sound, whilst the maple gives it even more additional bite, being rounded off with slightly warmer sounding ash. This means you can unleash as much musical carnage as you desire.
The razor thin five piece Nitro Wizard neck of this sacred creation is designed for the ultimate unrestricted playability. Allowing for instantaneous manoeuvring up and down the neck, you'll have no trouble moving from lower frets to higher. Being made from panga panga and walnut, you'll find all your notes have almost infinite sustain, and the guitar has a resonance which rings right through to your heart. Combined with a macassar ebony fretboard and Gibraltar Standard II-7 bridge to hold your tuning, there's no stopping your riffs from springing forth and slaying the ears of whoever is lucky enough to hear them.
There's more to the RGD71AL than meets the eye. It has luminescent side dots which will help guide you when playing in darker places. The headstock will also glow in the absence of light, giving it an unforgettable, atmospheric presence. Nickel silver jumbo frets with Sub-zero treatment can take all manner of abuse without so much as a scratch, and Gotoh MG-T locking machineheads will keep this instrument in tune with ease. In conjunction with stained sapphire blue burst finish, this guitar sounds, feels, and looks as majestic as it is fierce.
