The Ultimate Metal Machine—Built for Heavy Tones

The RGDRB71-BKF is the next evolution of Ibanez’s iconic Iron Label line, created for one purpose: to push metal to its most brutal and raw form. Every aspect of the guitar is carefully crafted to ensure flawless playability and earth-shattering tones. The extended 26.5” scale provides the perfect foundation for heavy string gauges and drop tunings, while the Wizard II Roasted Maple neck offers unmatched stability, moisture resistance, and durability for aggressive playing. The innovative Mono-Rail bridge and Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads ensure exceptional tuning stability, while the DiMarzio D Activator pickups deliver powerful, tight low-end response and bright harmonics.

Whether you're shredding solos or powering through crushing riffs, the RGDRB71-BKF’s design supports your need for speed, accuracy, and raw, uncompromising sound. The addition of a coil-tap switch and luminescent side dots makes it a versatile, stage-ready instrument, ensuring tonal flexibility and visibility during the darkest performances.
