Ibanez RGD61-BAM

The Ibanez RGD61-BAM is a 6-string electric guitar from the RGD series, purpose-built for down-tuned playing and modern heavy music. Its extended 673mm (26.5") scale length provides increased string tension and improved clarity with heavier gauges and lower tunings. The guitar features a Wizard III Roasted Maple neck, Macassar Ebony fretboard and 24 jumbo frets, offering a fast, comfortable platform for technical playing, heavy rhythm work and lead performance.

The RGD61-BAM is equipped with a pair of Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic active humbuckers in an HH configuration. These pickups provide a powerful, tight and articulate response that works particularly well with high-gain tones. The volume control incorporates a push/pull Fishman Fluence voicing switch, allowing access to an additional pickup voice for greater tonal flexibility, while the 3-way selector provides neck, both and bridge pickup positions.

For reliable performance under demanding playing conditions, the guitar uses individual Mono-Rail fixed bridges, helping isolate each string and provide stable intonation. Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads offer secure tuning and faster string changes, while luminescent side dots improve visibility on dark stages. The Black Aurora Burst Matte (BAM) finish, black hardware and Macassar Ebony fretboard complete its aggressive RGD appearance.
