Ibanez built the RGR652AHBFWK as part of its RG Prestige Series, positioning the model toward players seeking a high-specification, Japan-made hard-tail RG with premium tonewoods and factory-fitted DiMarzio pickups. The "RGR" designation indicated a fixed-bridge variant within the RG family, while the Prestige tier denoted the elevated construction standards Ibanez applied to its upper-range domestic production.
The guitar is built around an ash body mated to a five-piece Maple/Walnut Super Wizard HP neck — a profile associated with the shallow, fast geometry Ibanez maintained across its high-performance RG instruments. The bound Macassar Ebony fretboard runs 24 jumbo frets at a 430mm radius, with white dot inlays and Prestige fret edge treatment along the binding. Nut width is 43mm, widening to 58mm at the 24th fret; first-fret thickness is 17mm, rising to 19mm at the 12th. The 648mm (25.5") scale feeds into a Gibraltar Standard II bridge set at 10.8mm string spacing. Hardware throughout is finished in black, including the Graph Tech BLACK TUSQ XL nut. Both pickup positions carry DiMarzio Fusion Edge humbuckers (passive, ceramic) wired to the body in the 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 hardware sourcing for the Gibraltar Standard II bridge or Graph Tech BLACK TUSQ XL nut should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with fixed-bridge RG-style instruments.
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.
