Ibanez RGD621AH-MNF RDG Standard Electric Guitar, Midnight Shade Flat

The Ibanez RGD621AH is purpose built for modern metal players who demand crushing low end, tight response, and uncompromising playability when down tuning. Designed as Ibanez’s ultimate metal machine, the RGD series addresses the limitations of standard scale guitars by extending the scale length to 26.5 inches, delivering enhanced string tension, clarity, and punch without sacrificing speed or comfort.

This longer scale length brings out the rich, authoritative thickness that down tuned guitars are known for, while retaining a fast neck feel ideal for technical riffing and high speed soloing. Extra deep cutaways provide effortless access to the highest frets, making the RGD621AH a powerful and precise instrument for aggressive modern styles.

Main Features

Wizard III 5 Piece Panga Panga and Walnut Neck

The super thin Wizard III neck is constructed from five pieces of Panga Panga and walnut, offering exceptional stability, increased sustain, and ultra fast playability. Its slim profile is perfectly suited to extended range riffing and rapid lead work.

Macassar Ebony Fretboard

The Macassar ebony fretboard delivers tight low end, focused mids, and a strong, articulate high end. Its fast response and rich sustain ensure clarity and definition, even under high gain settings.

Jumbo Frets

Jumbo frets enhance smooth playability and make single note lines, bends, and fast passages feel effortless and precise.

Ash Top and Okoume Body

The ash top adds a striking, exotic appearance, while the okoume body provides a rich mid low response. Together, they deliver a balanced tonal foundation with power and depth.

DiMarzio Fusion Edge Pickups

Developed through close collaboration between Ibanez and DiMarzio, Fusion Edge pickups are engineered for modern metal. They deliver a powerful, cutting high end and a tight, compressed low end, while eliminating muddy mid range frequencies for maximum articulation.

Gotoh MG-T Locking Machine Heads

Gotoh MG-T locking tuners provide outstanding tuning stability and significantly reduce string change time, making them ideal for both stage and studio use.

Gibraltar Standard III Bridge

The Gibraltar Standard III bridge features a redesigned baseplate and saddles to enhance playing comfort and optimise string vibration transfer, contributing to improved sustain and tuning reliability.

Coil Tap Switch

A coil tap switch adds extra tonal versatility, allowing both pickups to deliver a wider range of sounds beyond high gain applications.

Luminescent Side Dots

Luminescent side dot markers ensure clear fretboard visibility on dark stages and in low light performance environments.

Designed for Down Tuned Precision

With its extended scale length, fast neck profile, and modern electronics, the Ibanez RGD621AH is built for players who require absolute clarity and control in low tunings. From punishing rhythm work to articulate lead lines, this guitar delivers the responsiveness and authority needed for contemporary metal performance.
