Ibanez RGT1270PB-CTF Electric Guitar in Cosmic Blue Starburst Flat

The Ibanez RGT1270PB-CTF is a solid-body electric guitar designed for high-performance playing, particularly suited to fast, technical styles like shredding and metal. It features the iconic RG body shape, constructed with a basswood body and a striking 3mm poplar burl top finished in a Cosmic Blue Starburst Flat polyurethane finish. The guitar employs a neck-through construction using a seven-piece maple and walnut laminate, which enhances sustain and provides a rigid, stable platform for precise playing. Key performance features include the ultra-thin Wizard III neck profile with a satin polyurethane finish for comfortable, fast playing, paired with a 15.74-inch radius ebony fretboard. The fretboard is fitted with 24 jumbo stainless steel frets that have been given a premium rolled-edge treatment for smooth feel. The electronics comprise a versatile HSH pickup configuration with DiMarzio units: a Tone Zone humbucker in the neck position, a True Velvet single-coil in the middle, and an Air Norton humbucker at the bridge. These are controlled via a single volume, a single tone knob, and a five-way selector switch. The hardware is built for reliability and tuning stability, featuring an Edge-Zero II tremolo system and Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads. The combination of materials, such as the ebony fretboard and the specific pickup set, produces a tonal character with rich sustain, articulate clarity, and a powerful, gain-friendly output. This guitar is an excellent choice for advancing and professional players who require a fast, comfortable instrument capable of handling complex techniques across various genres, from clean chord work to high-gain lead playing.
