Description

Ibanez built the RG6PPBFXTSR as part of the RG Premium Series, positioning it above the standard RG line with elevated hardware and tonewoods. The guitar carried the Tropical Seafloor finish designation and was offered as a six-string instrument.

The neck is a 11-piece Wizard profile construction laminating Maple, Walnut, and Purpleheart, joining an Ebony fretboard with Mother of Pearl dot inlays and 24 Jescar EVO Gold frets finished with Premium fret edge treatment. The nut width measures 43mm, widening to 58mm at the 24th fret, with a 400mm radius and a 648mm (25.5") scale length. Neck thickness runs 18mm at the first fret and 20mm at the twelfth. The body pairs a 7mm Poplar Burl top over an American Basswood core. A Mono-rail bridge with 10.8mm string spacing handles fixed intonation, while Gold hardware runs throughout. Bare Knuckle Aftermath humbuckers occupy both positions — an Alnico-loaded unit at the neck and a Ceramic-loaded unit at the bridge, both passive. The guitar left the factory strung with D'Addario EXL110s (.010/.013/.017/.026/.036/.046) in standard E tuning.

Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the Mono-rail bridge, Jescar EVO Gold fret wire, and Bare Knuckle Aftermath pickups are each sourced from their respective original manufacturers. A qualified guitar technician or luthier can advise on compatible substitutes where original components are no longer available.

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.

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.
