Model overview
The Ibanez RGD61ALA MTR is purpose-built for players who love down-tuning and crushing riffs. Thanks to its 26.5-inch scale, you get tight definition even on the deepest notes, meaning that if you prefer half-step or whole-step down tunings, the strings stay taut and responsive.
The five-piece maple/walnut neck is designed to withstand changes in temperature and humidity, offering long-term stability and minimal need for adjustments. The Macassar ebony fingerboard not only feels smooth under the fingers but also adds richness to your playing, whether using a pick or fingerstyle.
The Fishman Fluence Modern pickups deserve special praise. They combine the pristine clarity of actives with the versatility of passives. With the voice switch, you can easily shape your sound — from thick and powerful rhythm tones to brilliant, expressive leads. Whether you’re recording or performing live, you’ll always have the tone you need at your fingertips.
On the ergonomic side, the contoured body with a back cut and forearm bevel makes playing effortless. You can play for hours and feel nothing but inspiration — not fatigue. The MTR (Midnight Tropical Rainforest) finish underscores its unique character, while the matte surface adds a premium touch and resists fingerprints.
