For 2011, The new Premium series of guitars designed for hardworking musicians. These guitars are for players who push their guitars to the fullest every night on stage and who demand real professional quality instruments, both functionally and visually.

The Wizard neck on RG Premium models is following the same playability and comfort on its Prestige counterpart.

The Edge-Zero II bridge with ZPS3Fe. Installation of the Zero Point System in the Edge Zero II makes tuning easier and faster as well as providing stable tuning for long performances, all while maintaining smooth tremolo playing. Loss of tuning is kept to a minimum, even when a string breaks. For players that prefer a full floating system, simply remove the stop bar.

DiMarzio® ibz pickups were made by DiMarzio® specially for Ibanez. The tone is vivid but easy to control to your sonic requirement.

Our luthiers’ insane attention to detail is evidenced by the Premium’s hand-rolled fret edges. This slow, demanding process makes for a smooth, fast playing neck.
FEATURES
  1.  The Edge-Zero II, Ibanez's newest generation of knife edge tremolos, deploys all of the unique features of the ZR trem. Locking studs contribute to tuning stability.
  2. The Edge II Zero with the back plate removed. The system’s performance and flexibility is based upon its spring/counter-spring design.
  3.  For the player who prefers the tremolo to snap hard to the zero point (as with a flutter effect) removal of the cross bar and counter-spring is quick and easy.
  4. The back cover plate is in place. Open slots reveal a spring adjustment knob (far left) and view of the spring’s level of compression.    
  5. Solidly anchoring each component is a major part of creating great sustain. These stud bolts contain inner set screws that expand the outer bolt, marrying bridge to body, thereby maximizing string vibration.
