General

Most of us are familiar with Ibanez's long type numbers by now, and the RG970WQMZBIB is another great one. Names aside, however, we'd much rather look at this guitar's excellent specs. This shredder has a 5-piece maple/bubinga Wizard neck with a flat rosewood fretboard with 24 jumbo frets. Furthermore, the transparent Black Ice Burst finish shows off the beautiful quilted maple top, giving this Ibanez guitar a luxurious appeal. Of course, this gorgeous guitar comes with a case to keep it safe.

RG970WQMZ-BIB: high-quality components

The Ibanez RG970WQMZ in Black Ice Burst is part of the high-quality Premium series, which is one step below the Prestige series and has an excellent price-to-quality ratio! Take this RG's three DiMarzio pickups, for instance. These allow for a remarkably wide range of sounds, giving the RG970 a surprisingly versatile character. What's more, thanks to the Premium fret edge treatment, moving your hand along the neck is also very smooth and comfortable.

Great comfort thanks to the Edge Zero II

Ibanez only wants the best, which is why they develop their own bridges. The Edge Zero II is jam-packed with clever technology that helps make things as easy as possible on you, the player. For instance, there's the Zero Point System, which removes all points of friction and makes the tremolo feel smooth, improves tuning stability and helps your strings last much longer. What's more, thanks to the ZPS system, you can easily switch between a fixed and a floating trem, as you can simply remove or insert the included stop bar!
