Description
PRELOVED Ibanez Prestige RG5121RET – Polar Lights
Made in Japan | EverTune Bridge | Fishman Fluence Modern Pickups | Prestige Series
This preloved Ibanez Prestige RG5121RET in Polar Lights is in excellent condition and is a seriously impressive Japanese-made RG built for players who demand precision, tuning stability and effortless playability.
Part of Ibanez's premium Prestige range, the RG5121RET combines the famously fast Super Wizard HP neck with an EverTune bridge, Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers and jumbo stainless steel frets. It's an exceptionally capable instrument for modern rock, metal, progressive and technical playing, but the multiple Fishman voicings give it considerably more range than simply being a high-gain guitar.
And then there's the Polar Lights finish. Depending on the angle and lighting, the colour shifts dramatically, giving this RG a distinctive appearance that really needs to be seen in person.

EverTune Stability
One of the standout features of this particular Prestige RG is the EverTune bridge.
The system mechanically maintains string tension, helping the guitar remain exceptionally stable through changes in playing pressure and normal environmental conditions. For recording, touring, heavy rhythm work or players using lower tunings, it's a genuinely useful piece of technology rather than simply another specification.
Once correctly set, you can pick aggressively, play hard and concentrate on the performance rather than constantly checking your tuning.
Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers
A pair of Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic humbuckers gives the RG5121RET the tight attack, clarity and high output modern players expect, without excessive noise.
A dedicated Fluence voicing switch also lets you move between the pickups' different voices, giving the guitar greater tonal flexibility for everything from articulate cleaner sounds through to aggressive high-gain rhythm and lead tones.
Prestige Playability
The Japanese-built Prestige series represents some of Ibanez's finest production instruments, and the neck is a major part of the experience.
The Super Wizard HP 5-piece Maple/Wenge neck is thin, fast and extremely comfortable for technical playing, while the bound rosewood fingerboard carries 24 jumbo stainless steel frets with Ibanez's Prestige fret-edge treatment.
Luminlay side dots are another practical touch for players working on darker stages.
