Description

Ibanez built the RG1120PBZCKB as part of its RG Premium Series, positioning it above the standard production RG line as a specification-forward instrument aimed at players seeking refined construction and higher-grade hardware within the RG platform.

The neck is a 11-piece Wizard profile construction laminated from Maple, Walnut, and Purpleheart, joining an Ebony fretboard with Mother of Pearl dot inlays and 24 Jescar EVO Gold frets finished with a Premium fret edge treatment. The nut is a locking type at 43mm width, widening to 58mm at the 24th fret; neck thickness measures 18mm at the first fret and 20mm at the twelfth, over a 400mm radius. The body pairs an American Basswood core with a Poplar Burl top in a Charcoal Black Burst finish. Vibrato duties fall to an Edge-Zero II tremolo bridge with ZPS3Fe system at a 10.8mm string spacing, while a matched pair of DiMarzio Fusion Edge humbuckers — passive, ceramic-magnet units at both neck and bridge positions — handle pickup duties. All hardware is finished in Cosmo black. The instrument ships strung with D'Addario EXL120s (.009–.042) at standard E tuning across a 648mm/25.5-inch scale.

Owners seeking setup adjustments, locking nut servicing, or Edge-Zero II spring and ZPS3Fe calibration should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with double-locking tremolo systems.

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
