Does it have a tremolo?

No. It uses the Gibraltar Standard III fixed bridge, so there is no whammy bar.

What pickups does it have?

A DiMarzio Air Norton in the neck and The Tone Zone in the bridge, both high-output humbuckers.

Is the neck good for shredding?

Yes. The Super Wizard 5-piece maple/walnut neck is thin and wide, built for fast playing.

Does it stay in tune?

Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads and the fixed bridge give strong tuning stability.

What body wood is it?

An ash body, which adds brightness and sustain compared with basswood RGs.

What reviewers say

Owners of the Prestige RG line praise the fast Super Wizard neck, smooth fretwork and stable tuning. The DiMarzio pairing is well liked for heavy tones. Some note the pickups are less suited to clean playing and that the fixed bridge limits tremolo tricks.

About the Ibanez Prestige RGR662AHBF Electric Guitar

The Ibanez Prestige RGR662AHBF is a 6-string electric guitar from the RG line. It has an ash body, which gives a pleasant brightness and rich sustain. The neck is a Super Wizard 5-piece maple and walnut design for extra-smooth playing.

The rosewood fretboard has jumbo frets with Prestige fret edge treatment. The wide, tall frets respond quickly, articulate chords well and give clear tone on single notes. Rosewood gives a well-balanced, solid tone with a focused mid range.

A pair of high-output DiMarzio pickups, the Air Norton and The Tone Zone, provides a big sound with a broad dynamic range. The Gibraltar Standard III bridge has a redesigned baseplate and saddles for playing comfort and string vibration transfer. Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads give tuning stability and cut down string-changing time.
