The Ibanez Axe Design Lab RGR52ET is built for players who demand precision, stability, and sheer tonal aggression. Designed under the Ibanez Axe Design Lab—a platform for pushing modern guitar technology forward—this instrument embodies high-performance craftsmanship with a no-compromise attitude.

At its core is the legendary Wizard III 3-piece maple neck, a hallmark of Ibanez playability. Slim, fast, and built for technical mastery, it pairs perfectly with the Macassar ebony fretboard, and is crowned with jumbo stainless steel frets for enhanced articulation while ensuring lasting durability.

The nyatoh body and maple top combination balances bright attack with rich, resonant low end—ideal for everything from tight djent riffing to smooth legato leads. Powering it all are Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers—an Alnico in the neck and a Ceramic in the bridge—offering two distinct voicings via the push/pull control: searing active output or glassy, fluid cleans. The coil-tap switch expands the tonal range even further for players who crave flexibility.

The star of the show, however, is the EverTune bridge—a game-changing innovation that keeps your tuning rock solid through the most punishing performances or extreme temperature changes. Paired with Gotoh machine heads and luminescent side dots, the RGR52ET is equally at home under stage lights or in studio shadows.

Sleek, technical, and unmistakably Ibanez.
