Ibanez RG450DXB-WH

The Ibanez RG450DXB-WH is an RG Standard electric guitar designed around the classic RG combination of fast playability, versatile pickup coverage and a double-locking tremolo system. The current version features a Wizard III Maple neck, a Meranti body, and a Jatoba fretboard with Sharktooth inlays. Its 648 mm (25.5") scale, 24 jumbo frets and slim neck profile provide a comfortable platform for fast riffs, lead lines and technical playing. (Ibanez)

The guitar uses an H-S-H Quantum pickup configuration, with passive ceramic Quantum humbuckers at the neck and bridge and a passive Alnico Quantum single-coil in the middle. A 5-way selector provides five pickup combinations, ranging from full humbucker sounds to split-style combinations with the middle pickup. The straightforward volume and tone controls make it easy to adjust the instrument for both clean and high-gain applications. (Ibanez)

For expressive pitch effects, the RG450DXB-WH is fitted with an Edge-Zero II tremolo bridge with 10.8 mm string spacing and a locking nut for improved tuning stability. The White (WH) finish is paired with black hardware and a white pearloid pickguard, while the Jatoba fretboard and Sharktooth inlays give the guitar its characteristic RG appearance. It comes fitted with D'Addario EXL120 strings. (Ibanez)
