Model overview
The Ibanez RGT1220PBK-COL is part of the Premium line — where precision engineering and meticulous attention to detail come together.
One of its greatest strengths is the neck-through Wizard III, crafted from maple and walnut. This design not only delivers incredible sustain but also offers unrivalled comfort for fast runs and complex passages.
The body is made from American basswood, topped with poplar for a strikingly modern look. More than just an accent, the top also enhances resonance. Sound comes courtesy of two signature DiMarzio humbuckers: the Air Norton and The Tone Zone. Revered for their broad frequency response and adaptability, they make it just as easy to play clean, articulate lines as it is to dive into heavy metal riffs — with every note ringing out clearly.
Special mention must go to the Edge tremolo system, which lets you explore the full potential of expressive vibrato and pitch-bending without sacrificing tuning stability. For players who like to fuse styles, this is a gift in itself.
Who is this guitar for?
Whether you’re just starting your journey or already have experience, the Ibanez RGT1220PBK-COL makes a perfect partner. Beginners benefit from the comfortable neck and well-balanced body, allowing them to focus on playing rather than wrestling with the instrument. More advanced guitarists, meanwhile, will value its accurate, detailed tone — a real asset in both recording and live situations.
Producers will appreciate its impressive dynamics and the ease with which it adapts to different styles.
Session players will find a reliable and versatile workhorse in this model, equally suited for quiet studio sessions or high-energy festival shows. Songwriters exploring different genres will love the broad tonal palette it has to offer.
