Ibanez RG370FMZ Sapphire Blue 2019 Electric Guitar

This is an Ibanez RG370FMZ electric guitar in Sapphire Blue finish. Made in Indonesia in 2019, this guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising a Meranti body with Flamed Maple top, Maple neck & 24 fret Jatoba fingerboard with Sharktooth inlays. Cosmo Black hardware is fitted including an Ibanez Edge Zero II double locking tremolo & Ibanez sealed tuning machines. A trio of Ibanez Quantum passive ceramic pickups are installed in an HSH configuration, and are wired to a 5-way blade switch, master volume & master tone controls.

The Maple neck plays very well, with the Wizard III profile offering a typically razor sharp & precise playing experience across the register. The Wizard profile can perhaps be described as a ’D’ shape, with a flattened area to the centre which encourages ergonomic thumb positioning for both rhythm & lead playing. Of course on the thinner side, the neck accommodates fast playing and easy reach in all fingerboard positions. The Jatoba of the fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers and provides a smooth & durable playing surface to explore.

The trio of Ibanez Quantum Passive/Ceramic pickups installed in this guitar deliver a wide range of tones, making this a seriously versatile instrument. The combination of an HSH pickup configuration & 5-way switching means that both humbucking & single-coil sounds are well within reach, meaning you really have the best of both worlds. The controls are nicely responsive too, allowing you to dial in a wide range of tones without ever touching a pedal. A typically reliable & versatile instrument from Ibanez.
