The body of the eight-string RG5328 is made of ash. The neck, composed of five pieces of maple and wenge, is glued to a Makasar ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty-four jumbo stainless steel frets. Their treated edges provide guitarists with greater playing comfort (Prestige fret edge treatment). Orientation around the fingerboard surface is facilitated by mother-of-pearl position dots and luminescent dots on the side.
Two passive humbuckers of the respected Di-Marzio brand with ceramic magnets and high output signal give the guitar a clear dynamic sound with good articulation even on the thickest strings. Their coils can be split with a coil tap switch to achieve the sound of single-coil pickups and thus greater sonic flexibility. Standard adjustments include volume potentiometers, tone controls and a three-position pickup switch.
The strings are mounted in high-quality Gotoh mechanics and a solid Gibraltar Standard II headstock, which gives each string optimal vibration transfer. The guitar's stylish design is accentuated by a Lightning Through and Dark finish and Cosmo Black hardware.
The guitar comes in a carrying case.
The Prestige represents the second highest quality range in the Ibanez range. These are instruments with top-notch workmanship, sound and playability manufactured right in Japan. Their final form is a combination of the latest hi-tech manufacturing techniques and traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
