Ibanez built the RG652AHMAWD as part of the RG Prestige Series, positioning it at the upper tier of the RG line where tighter construction tolerances and premium component selection distinguished it from the standard range. The Antique White Blonde finish places it among the more visually distinctive entries in the Prestige catalogue.
The guitar is constructed with an ash body joined to a Super Wizard HP five-piece Maple/Walnut neck — a profile Ibanez developed for low mass and fast access across the full length. The bound Birdseye Maple fretboard carries black dot inlays and 24 jumbo frets set to a 430mm radius, with a nut width of 43mm tapering to 58mm at the 24th fret. Neck thickness measures 17mm at the first fret and 19mm at the twelfth. The 648mm (25.5-inch) scale drives an Edge tremolo bridge with 10.8mm string spacing. Electronics consist of a DiMarzio Air Norton humbucker at the neck and a DiMarzio The Tone Zone humbucker at the bridge, both passive Alnico units. Hardware throughout is finished in cosmo black. The guitar left the factory strung with a .009–.042 set in standard E tuning.
Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the Edge tremolo uses Ibanez-specific dimensions; a guitar technician or qualified luthier familiar with the Edge system will be best placed to advise on saddle, arm, and spring compatibility for this unit.
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.
