Product Highlights

• Resonant Poplar Body: Features the legendary, sharp-edged RG double-cutaway body profile. It is lightweight and deeply contoured, ensuring ultimate comfort against your body while providing effortless access right down to the 24th fret.

• Lightning-Fast GRG Maple Neck: Outfitted with a slim, satin-finished maple neck optimized for blistering speed. This rigid neck profile reduces left-hand thumb fatigue, making fast alternate picking, sweeping, and heavy rhythm tracking smooth and intuitive.

• Versatile Infinity HSH Pickup Configuration: Loaded with high-output passive ceramic pickups arranged in a highly adaptable Humbucker-Single-Humbucker (HSH) layout:

  • Neck Pickup (Infinity R Humbucker): Delivers a warm, smooth, and fat tone that is ideal for sweep picking, articulate shred solos, and warm clean passages.

  • Middle Pickup (Infinity RS Single-Coil): Provides a crisp, clear, and glassy bite that adds punchy acoustic-like single-coil dynamics to your tracks.

  • Bridge Pickup (Infinity R Humbucker): Engineered to throw out a massive, tight rock roar. It tames harsh ice-pick frequencies and handles high-gain amp distortion effortlessly, keeping heavy rhythm riffs tight and punchy.

• Double-Locking DL Tremolo Bridge: Equipped with an Ibanez double-locking tremolo system paired with a locking nut assembly at the headstock. This configuration allows you to execute radical dive-bombs, radical squeals, and wild pitch-bending tricks while keeping your string tuning rock-solid.

• Bound Purpleheart Fretboard with Red Sharktooth Inlays: Features a durable, bound purpleheart fingerboard loaded with 24 jumbo frets. The iconic red sharktooth inlays provide an aggressive aesthetic and make fretboard navigation a breeze under dark stage lights.

• Black Hardware Package: Outfitted with sleek, factory-black tuning keys, control knobs, and bridge components that perfectly complement the guitar’s dark metal persona.

• Position 1 (Full Bridge): Activates the powerful Infinity R Bridge Humbucker. Delivers maximum output, zero single-coil hum, and tight bass tracking for modern metal chugging.

• Position 3 (Full Middle): Activates the middle Infinity RS single-coil. Delivers a highly articulate, glassy acoustic character for indie-rock rhythms.

• Position 4 (Middle + Neck): Combines the middle single-coil with the split neck humbucker. Offers a woody, low-gain blues character that sounds incredibly expressive with a touch of overdrive.

• Position 5 (Full Neck): Activates the neck Infinity R Humbucker. Rich, liquid-smooth tone that provides endless sustain for soaring melodic lead solos.
