Electric Guitar Ibanez RG350DXZ White
The Ibanez RG350DXZ is a solid-body electric guitar model from the RG series launched in 2011. It appeared to replace the RG350DX model. The RG350DXZ features a meranti body bolted to a Wizard III maple neck, with a 24-fretboard fingerboard with "shark tooth" position markers.
The Ibanez RG350DXZ is an electric guitar made in the unmistakable style of the Japanese brand, designed for guitarists looking for speed and definition.
Ibanez is one of the most famous brands in the world, with some of the most influential guitarists of the last few decades using and even naming series and models: Tosin Abasi, Jennifer Batten, George Benson, Wes Borland and, most famously, Steve Vai, among many others.
The reason for this preference is the build quality of Ibanez guitars and their iconic look. This is an excellent example that demonstrates the brand's strongest features at an affordable price.
The Ibanez RG350DXZ is a solid body electric guitar in meranti, a wood native to Indonesia and Malaysia. The neck is in maple and the fingerboard is in jatoba, a species native to South and Central America. The neck design is slim and the fingerboard is 24 frets, Jumbo size.
The Ibanez sound is much appreciated by musicians looking for high definition at high speed, being one of the brands preferred by virtuosos. The RG350DXZ has a set of five pickups that can be combined in pairs via the five selector positions. The bridge and neck pickups are passive Quantum ceramic pickups and the middle one is a passive Quantum alnico pickup.
The result is an articulate sound, ideal for fast riffs, well defined in the mids and balanced bass, which makes the Ibanez RG350DXZ a perfect guitar for more aggressive styles that live on complex and energetic melodic lines.
Another feature that distinguishes Ibanez from other brands is the bridge. The RG350DXZ features an Edge-Zero II bridge that's too strong to be abused by the tremolo for accentuated dives and energetic vibrato, without going out of tune thanks to the string clamping system.
The Ibanez RG350DXZ has the characteristic shape of the brand's models, very slim and elegant. The mother-of-pearl nail guard gives a classic touch, as do the crescent markers along the neck to imitate shark teeth, proving that you can have style and aggression in the same instrument.
Ibanez is one of the three most popular guitar brands in the world. Designed in Japan, Ibanez guitars became very popular in Western markets thanks to their original design and innovative sound that fit perfectly into avant-garde musical genres in the 1980s and 1990s, particularly in the world of rock and metal. By favoring technically advanced styles, owning an Ibanez meant possessing a certain degree of virtuosity.
The Ibanez RG350DXZ is a perfect and perfectly affordable guitar for guitarists who want a model designed for technicists and musicians looking for musical innovation on six strings.
