Ibanez RGT1221PB-SWL Electric Guitar in Stained Wine Red Low Gloss

The Ibanez RGT1221PB-SWL is a solidbody electric guitar designed for high-performance playing, particularly suited to technical styles like shredding and sweep picking. It features the iconic RG body shape with a poplar burl top over a basswood body, finished in a distinctive Stained Wine Red Low Gloss polyurethane. The instrument's construction focuses on speed, stability, and tonal clarity, making it a serious tool for demanding guitarists. Key technical features include a neck-through design using a seven-piece maple and walnut construction with Ibanez's thin, flat Wizard III profile for fast playing. The 25.5-inch scale ebony fretboard is fitted with 24 jumbo stainless steel frets that have been treated with premium rolled edges for comfort. Electronics comprise a HH pickup configuration with a DiMarzio The Tone Zone humbucker in the bridge position and a DiMarzio Air Norton humbucker in the neck position, controlled via a single volume, single tone, and five-way selector switch. Hardware includes Gotoh MG-T locking tuners and an Edge-Zero II tremolo system designed for enhanced tuning stability. This guitar is best suited for intermediate to advanced players who require precise articulation, comfortable ergonomics, and reliable performance during extended playing sessions. The combination of dark, resonant body woods with high-output DiMarzio pickups provides a versatile tonal palette ranging from creamy neck-position warmth to aggressive bridge-position crunch. The satin-finished neck and smooth fretboard facilitate rapid technical playing, while the robust hardware ensures the guitar stays in tune even with heavy tremolo use.
