Features:
Our luthiers’ insane attention to detail is evidenced by the Premium’s hand-rolled fret edges. This slow, demanding process makes for a smooth, fast playing neck.
The Zero Point system makes tuning a breeze, and holds tune over the course of lengthy performances, even if a string breaks.
Just like the more expensive Prestige, the 5-piece construction, crafted with seasoned maple joined with walnut substrates, the Wizard is impressively stable.
The RG870 stands alone in the Premium family with the inclusion of a single coil pickup set between the two standard DiMarzio humbuckers.
The Edge-Zero II, Ibanez's newest generation of knife edge tremolos, deploys all of the unique features of the ZR trem. Locking studs contribute to tuning stability.
Edge-Zero II Features:
The Edge II Zero with the back plate removed. The system’s performance and flexibility is based upon its spring/counter-spring design.
For the player who prefers the tremolo to snap hard to the zero point (as with a flutter effect) removal of the cross bar and counter-spring is quick and easy.
Here the back cover plate is in place. Open slots reveal a spring adjustment knob (far left) and view of the spring’s level of compression.
Solidly anchoring each component is a major part of creating great sustain. These stud bolts contain inner set screws that expand the outer bolt, marrying bridge to body, thereby maximizing string vibration.
