The Ibanez Premium RGT1270PB electric guitar doesn’t seek your attention; it demands it! And why shouldn’t it? With its contoured American basswood body, striking poplar burl top, and mesmerizing cosmo black hardware, the RGT1270PB is certain to turn heads. Yet, this brutish beauty’s looks are not just skin deep: Ibanez manufactured it with pure performance in mind. On top of its stellar hardware package, including an Edge tremolo bridge, top-shelf tuning machines, and stainless steel frets with a premium fret edge treatment, the RGT1270PB is packed with a troublemaking trio of DiMarzio pickups. A 7-piece Wizard III through-neck provides the interface for this spectacular instrument, offering a thin contour profile and unmatched stability to deliver rock-solid intonation and a fluid platform for sizzling fretboard pyrotechnics. Make your musical mark in style with the Premium RGT1270PB electric guitar from Ibanez.





Iconic Wizard neck offers high-speed playability





Since its invention, the Wizard neck profile has been an Ibanez hallmark. And you'll find the third-generation Wizard III on the Ibanez RGT1270PB solidbody electric guitar. Its incredibly thin contour is a favorite among speed-happy players, as it allows unfettered movement up and down the fretboard. And its maple/walnut construction provides a stable neck while offering increased sustain and tonal attack.

Three DiMarzio pickups cover an expansive sonic range





There's no denying the massive range of tone you can get out of an HSH configuration, and with the Ibanez Premium RGT1270PB's combo of DiMarzio pickups, you're in a whole new league altogether. First, there's the DiMarzio Tone Zone at the bridge, a hot humbucker with a super-wide dynamic range. It's a choice complement to the RGT1270PB's DiMarzio Air Norton at the neck, which is deep, warm, and remarkably clean. And smack in the middle, you've got a DiMarzio True Velvet single-coil that's bright and sweet all the way up the neck ? perfect for soloing. The guitarists here at Sweetwater love this ultra-flexible pickup combination.





Edge tremolo provides expressive pitch pyrotechnics





When it comes to maximum expressive potential, nothing beats the range of a double-locking tremolo ? and the Ibanez Edge tremolo found in the RGT1270PB is one of the best. Manufactured for Ibanez by Gotoh, the Edge tremolo delivers reliable action and rock-solid tuning stability. The response is fast and precise, and the ultra-smooth feel of the low-profile saddles is ideal for palm muting.
