Ibanez RGD621AHMNF RGD Midnight Shade Flat

Designed around the demands of lower tunings, the Ibanez RGD621AH electric guitar stays tight, clear and responsive for modern metal players. Its extended 26.5″ scale length is the defining feature, giving down-tuned riffs added tension and definition without feeling unwieldy. An ash top over an okoume body provides a balanced tonal foundation with pronounced mid-lows, while a bolt-on Wizard III neck made from panga panga and walnut keeps the feel fast and controlled. Loaded with DiMarzio Fusion Edge humbuckers and a straightforward control layout, the RGD621AH is designed to track heavy rhythm work and precise lead playing with equal confidence.

Extended Scale Design for Down-Tuned Clarity

The 26.5″ scale length is central to the RGD concept, offering tighter string response and improved note definition when tuned down. This added length helps prevent flabbiness on the low strings while still retaining the familiar feel needed for fast runs and technical passages. Extra-deep cutaways also make it easy to access the highest frets without fighting the body.

Wizard III Neck With Macassar Ebony Fingerboard

The Wizard III neck uses a 5-piece panga panga and walnut construction to increase strength and sustain while maintaining a thin, fast profile. Paired with a Macassar ebony fingerboard, the response stays tight and immediate, with strong attack and clear note separation. 24 jumbo frets support smooth bends, fast legato, and confident single-note playing across the full range of the instrument.

DiMarzio Fusion Edge Pickups With Coil Tap

Developed through a close collaboration between Ibanez and DiMarzio, Fusion Edge humbuckers are voiced for modern metal clarity. They deliver a crisp, cutting high end and a tight, compressed low end while avoiding muddy midrange frequencies, even under heavy gain. A coil-tap switch adds additional tonal flexibility, making it easier to shift from aggressive rhythm tones to more open, articulated sounds.

Gibraltar Standard III Bridge and Locking Hardware

The Gibraltar Standard III bridge features a redesigned baseplate and saddles that improve playing comfort while ensuring efficient string vibration transfer. Gotoh MG-T locking tuning machines help maintain tuning stability and reduce string change time, which is especially useful when working with lower tunings and heavier strings. Together, the hardware supports a direct, reliable playing feel.

A Focused RGD for Heavy Modern Styles

The RGD lineup exists for players who need an instrument specifically optimized for down-tuned, high-gain music. Finished in Midnight Shade Flat with a satin polyurethane feel, the RGD621AH is well suited for modern metal, progressive styles, and technically demanding riff-based playing. It’s a purpose-driven electric guitar that delivers tight response, clarity, and consistency where it matters most.
