Ibanez Prestige RG3770FZ HSH Transparent Red, 2014 ( No longer Available)

Built from 2014 to 2017 by Fuji-Gen in Nagano Japan, the Ibanez Prestige RG3770FZ features an HSH DiMarzio pickup setup, Edge double locking trem system. Its Super Wizard neck is wide yet thin, ideal for shredding and it stability is increased by titanium rods.   The body is built with a highly figured, bookmatched Maple cap on a Mahogany back, and the neck is 5 pieces of Maple and Walnut.

For electronics, the Ibanez Prestige RG3770FZ  uses three passive DiMarzio pickups – an Air Norton at the neck, True Velvet single coil in the middle, and a Tone Zone at the bridge.   The rest of the electronics include a 5-way switch single master Volume and Tone controls, and a side-mounted barrel style output jack.   The pickup selector offers the entire neck pickup in the forward (neck, or 5) position, the inner neck coil and middle pickup in the ‘4’ position,  the middle pickup alone in the middle position (3),  then the middle pickup and inner bridge coil in the ‘2’ position, and finally the entire bridge pickup in the back or ‘1’ position. The strings are carried in a double-locking Ibanez Edge Zero system, in black finish, and on the back there’s a ZPS3 Zero Point System trem stabilizer.

This early-production Ibanez Prestige RG3770FZ example dates to March of 2014 and is in overall very good, clean and original condition. It has been used as intended, so there is light fret and play wear, and one or two small finish chips around the edges.

The original molded rectangular hard shell case is included, and contains the strap portions of the strap-locks.

Here’s the builders on the Ibanez Prestige RG and the Prestige line:

“The RG is the most recognizable and distinctive guitar in the Ibanez line. Three decades of metal have forged this high-performance machine, honing it for both speed and strength. Whether you favor a hardtail (fixed) bridge or our industry-leading locking tremolo system, the RG is a precision instrument.”

“There are three principles behind the Ibanez Prestige line: Precision, Performance, and Playability. Prestige combines high-tech manufacturing techniques with old-world Japanese craftsmanship, in order to achieve true innovation in design and construction. The series incorporates ideas and suggestions from musicians from around the world as the cornerstones of the Prestige production process.”
