Ibanez RGIX6DLB Iron Label, Supernova Burst

Full Description

Ash Body, Laurel Burl Top

The Ibanez’s body is crafted from incredibly lightweight ash wood, offering excellent comfort during long performances. The ash tonewood provides a sweet, airy twang, with plenty of resonance for singing chords and powerful, punching notes. Its firm lows, pleasing highs, and slightly scooped midrange suits a range of playing styles, but favours the harsh strikes of metal players. The body is topped with beautiful laurel burl, with its eye-catching figuring enhanced by the supernova burst finish to create a truly unique guitar.

Comfortable Nitro Wizard Neck

The use of Ibanez's own Nitro Wizard neck provides the Iron Label guitar with an enhanced playability, optimised for lead guitarists for a truly comfortable performance. The thin nature of the neck helps players perform swift and nimble guitar runs seamlessly, whilst retaining enough substance to ensure a thick and full resonance when playing rhythm patterns and chords. Crafted from maple and purpleheart, the guitar's neck provides iron-like strength for enhanced neck stability and a strong sustain.

Bound Ebony Fingerboard

The Ibanez Iron Label features an ebony fingerboard to provides a smooth, natural finish, along with a very responsive bright, snappy attack with a smooth sustain. It’s bound edges allow for a smooth play and fluid hand flexibility across the whole neck.

DiMarzio Fusion Edge Pickups

Players can achieve a classic metal tone with the two DiMarzio Fusion Edge pickups, which were designed in a collaboration between Ibanez and DiMarzio. Located on the neck and bridge positions, these pickups produce a variety of overdriven textures, creating powerfully distinctive tones perfect for metal styles.

2-Way Coil Tap Switch

Also featuring a two way pickup coil tap switch, the Ibanez RGIX6DLB gives you a huge amount of tonal options. Flicking the switch allows you to switch the pickup settings from a standard humbucking mode to a single coil, making it an extremely versatile guitar excellent for live situations when an array of tones are required.

Edge Zero Tremolo

The Ibanez Edge Zero is a high performance double locking tremolo first introduced in 2010, featuring similarities with both the Lo-Pro Edge tremolo and the original Floyd Rose Tremolo. This design created a unique and extremely versatile floating tremolo system which provides an added range of playing capabilities and improved tuning stability.

Gotoh Tuners & Locking Nut

The RGIX6DLB Iron Label is equipped with a set of Gotoh MG-T locking tuners and a locking nut to ensure the guitar stays in tune through the harshest performances. Its Gotoh tuners are designed with incredible tuning stability, offering quick and easy tuning for a stable performance. The locking nut is designed to work with the Edge-Zero tremolo bridge, ensuring the guitar retains its original tuning even after performing harsh dive bombs.
