Full Description
The Ibanez Prestige RG653DX is a no-compromise Japanese-built shred machine that blends classic RG aggression with premium craftsmanship and modern playability. Finished in a clean White Flat, this model delivers the sharp aesthetics, fast feel, and authoritative tone that have made the RG a staple for technical players across metal, fusion, and hard rock.
At its core is Ibanez’s legendary Super Wizard HP 5-piece maple/walnut neck, engineered for speed with an ultra-slim profile measuring just 17mm at the 1st fret and 19mm at the 12th. The 25.5” scale length, wide 430mm fretboard radius, and 24 jumbo frets make the RG653DX effortless for fast legato runs, precise rhythm work, and extended soloing. A bound rosewood fretboard with striking acrylic and abalone block inlays adds a refined visual edge while maintaining a smooth, responsive feel under the fingers.
The resonant ash body delivers a tight low end, crisp highs, and excellent note definition—perfectly complementing the RG’s articulate voice. Anchoring the guitar is the legendary Edge tremolo bridge, renowned for its rock-solid tuning stability, smooth action, and expressive range. A locking nut and Gotoh machine heads ensure the instrument stays locked in, even under aggressive tremolo use.
Electronics come courtesy of a proven DiMarzio pairing: an Air Norton in the neck for warm, fluid leads and articulate cleans, and a Tone Zone in the bridge for massive output, thick mids, and punchy sustain. Together, they provide a versatile tonal palette that thrives in high-gain environments while retaining clarity and dynamic response.
Built with the precision and attention to detail that defines the Prestige line, the RG653DX is a professional-grade instrument designed for players who demand speed, reliability, and unmistakable RG character.
Condition: This is a brand new Ibanez Prestige RG653DX in White Flat. It includes the Ibanez hardshell case and full manufacturer warranty. It also arrives fully dialed-in with our Pro-Tech Setup, so it’s ready to play straight out of the case. Drop Dee Guitars is an authorized Ibanez dealer.

- Neck adjustment for proper relief

I must say, I've had enough of mass sellers like SweetWater with their extra fees for everything that should be included as part of a guitar sale. Drop Dee Guitars exceeded my expectations by far with my order, ensuring that my instrument was a joy to play straight out of the box. I eagerly anticipate future business with this store. They are truly a shining star! Excellent communication throughout the pre-sale and after-sale as well. Thank you!
