Ibanez RG460DX

The Ibanez RG460DX-BLH is an RG Standard electric guitar designed around Ibanez's fast-playing RG platform, with an S-S-H pickup configuration that provides a different tonal approach from the more common H-S-H RG models. It features a Wizard III Maple neck, a Meranti body and a Jatoba fretboard with Sharktooth inlays. Its 648 mm (25.5") scale, 400 mm radius and 24 jumbo frets provide a comfortable platform for fast rhythm playing, lead work and technical techniques. (Ibanez)

The guitar is equipped with two Quantum passive Alnico single-coil pickups at the neck and middle positions and a Quantum passive ceramic humbucker at the bridge. This S-S-H arrangement offers five pickup combinations through the 5-way selector, including neck, neck-middle, middle, middle/bridge and bridge positions. The combination gives the RG460DX a broad tonal range, from brighter single-coil sounds to the stronger output of the bridge humbucker. (Ibanez)

For expressive pitch control, the RG460DX-BLH uses an Edge-Zero II tremolo bridge with 10.8 mm string spacing and a locking nut. The bridge's lower-profile design and stud-lock function are intended to improve playing comfort and tuning stability. The BLH finish is Blue Haze, complemented by black hardware, while D'Addario EXL120 strings are fitted from the factory. (Ibanez)
