The
Ibanez j.custom RG8520-GE Green Emerald
is a high quality electric guitar for rock and metal that combines chic looks with great playability and multi-faceted sounds. Besides the
mahogany body
with
flamed maple top
, Ibanez uses a
bolt-on five-piece maple-wenge neck
with
Macassar ebony fretboard
and fast
"j.custom Super Wizard" profile
.
DiMarzio Air Norton and The Tone Zone humbuckers
promise classic rock and metal sounds with precise tone reproduction even with drop tunings and high distortion levels. Naturally an
Ibanez Lo-Pro Edge Double-Locking-Tremolo
and
Gotoh tuners
complete the Ibanez j.custom RG8520-GE Green Emerald.
When designing the RG8520-GE Green Emerald, Ibanez paid special attention to high-quality woods and comfortable handling. Accordingly, the
African mahogany body
carries a
flamed maple top in AAA quality
, whereas the
bolt-on neck
is particularly stable thanks to the
five-piece maple-wenge construction
. The extremely flat
"j.custom Super Wizard" neck profile
combined with the
flat radius
of the
Macassar ebony fingerboard
creates smooth playability up to the
24th jumbo fret
.
The Ibanez j.custom RG8520-GE Green Emerald features the classic setup of a
DiMarzio Air Norton humbucker on the neck
and a
DiMarzio The Tone Zone humbucker on the bridge
. Accordingly, this electric guitar impresses with multi-faceted sounds, which come up with a harmonic clarity in the clean channel, whereas with overdrive and distortion every tone is sharply outlined and presented with a powerful sound. The
mini-switch
between the volume and tone controls allows both humbuckers to be
split
to conjure extremely transparent single-coil sounds to further expand the sonic spectrum of the Ibanez j.custom RG8520.
Last but not least, the j.custom RG8520-GE Green Emerald comes with high-quality and reliable hardware equipment. The classic
Ibanez Lo-Pro Edge Tremolo
offers smooth handling and absolute tuning stability even with extensive whammy bar acrobatics thanks to its
double-locking
construction. Behind the locking nut,
six Gotoh tuners
on the headstock guarantee precise tuning. In addition,
Gotoh strap-locks
hold the Ibanez j.custom RG8520-SDE Sodalite securely on the guitar strap.
