RG5328-LDK

RG5328-LDK. (Lightning Through A Dark) Prestige 8-String - Made In Japan.

The Ibanez Prestige represents a combination of "state of the art" manufacturing methods and ancient Japanese craftsmanship. Accuracy and precision down to the smallest detail, in everything from wood selection and parts, craftsmanship, adjustment (setup) and paintwork. The result is instruments of the highest quality with unparalleled playing comfort where nothing is left to chance, either in terms of playing or sound.

Body: Ash The guitar has an ash body, a slightly lighter wood with a slightly more prominent treble and a fast, rap attack. The base is firm and clear which makes it tight with good separation. The clear top means that it cuts well through thick sound mats without becoming thin or sharp. Chords and riff playing become snappy and respond quickly with great separation and melody/solo playing becomes attacking and clear and it is easy to distinguish all notes even in fast lines (as long as the technique does not limp of course).

Strings: The strings are made of stainless steel and have an extremely smooth playing feel that will last a lifetime. They are almost indestructible and last 7-8 times as long as regular bands. Benda and vibrato feel soft as velvet. The bands do not need to be polished and maintained in the same way that ordinary bands do. Given that the cost of a re-banding with normal bands is SEK 3-4,000, it is easy math that you quickly save a lot of money by choosing stainless.

Neck: Wizard-8 The neck is a 5-part Wizard-8 profile, can best be described as a slightly thicker Super Wizard neck. It has the width and the same well-grinding jumbo belt as the Super Wizard but is a little thicker. A neck for those who want what Ibanez is known for, an extremely fast and easy-to-play neck, but want a little more wood in their hand. 3 parts maple and 2 parts wenge gives a very durable and stable neck.
