Ibanez built the RG1121PBCKB as part of the RG Premium Series, positioning it above the standard RG line with upgraded tonewoods, hardware and pickup specification. The model carried a Charcoal Black Burst finish over a Poplar Burl top.
The guitar was constructed with an American Basswood body beneath the Poplar Burl top, and featured an 11-piece Wizard neck laminated from Maple, Walnut and Purpleheart — a multi-laminate configuration associated with the Premium tier. The Ebony fretboard ran 24 frets with Mother of Pearl dot inlays, a 400mm radius, and received Ibanez's Premium fret edge treatment alongside Jescar EVO Gold fret wire. The nut measured 43mm wide, widening to 58mm at the 24th fret, with a neck thickness of 18mm at the first fret and 20mm at the twelfth. Scale length was 648mm (25.5 inches). Hardware throughout was finished in Cosmo black, including the Mono-rail bridge with 10.8mm string spacing. Electronics comprised a pair of DiMarzio Fusion Edge humbuckers — passive, ceramic-magnet units — at both neck and bridge positions. The guitar left the factory strung with D'Addario EXL110s (.010–.046) in standard E tuning.
Owners requiring setup work, fret maintenance or parts sourcing should consult a qualified guitar technician, particularly when seeking Mono-rail bridge saddles or components compatible with the 10.8mm string spacing.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
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.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
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.
What do you know about this one?
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.
