Ibanez RG170DX BKN Electric Guitar – Black Night

Ibanez RG170DX BKN Electric Guitar – Black Night from Joondalup Music Centre

Meet the Ibanez RG170DX BKN, finished in sleek Black Night — a high-performance, no-compromise electric guitar designed to unleash your inner shred-master. Whether you’re rippling through high-gain riffs or articulating fast legato runs, this instrument delivers speed, precision and swagger.

Key Features & Build

* Maple neck (GRG Maple neck) offering stability and bright tonal character.
* Poplar body, delivering a balanced tonal foundation with strength and responsiveness. 
* Bound Purpleheart (or treated NZ-Pine depending on region) fretboard with classic shark-tooth inlays — 24 jumbo frets give you full reach and expressive range.
* Scale length of 648 mm (25.5”) ensures full tonal tension and familiar feel for players of modern rock/metal styles.
* Equipped with three pickups in H-S-H configuration — Infinity R humbuckers at neck & bridge, Infinity RS single-coil in the middle — giving you tonal flexibility for everything from thick rhythm to screaming lead.
* T102 tremolo bridge with 10.5 mm string spacing, designed for solid picking feel and dive-bombing potential without compromising tuning stability.
* Chrome hardware and those distinctive shark-tooth inlays give this guitar an aggressive aesthetic that matches its performance.

Why It Stands Out

* From the renowned RG series by Ibanez — a line steeped in decades of metal-heritage and designed for speed, strength, and style.
* Exceptional value: high-end features (24 frets, HSH pickup layout, tremolo bridge) packaged into an accessible price point — ideal for both serious beginners and intermediate players wanting to explore heavier sounds.
* Ergonomic, modern design: the slim profile neck, double cutaway body and well-placed controls mean it’s built to go fast and feel comfortable whether you’re standing on stage or sitting in the studio.

Ideal For

Guitarists looking for a versatile instrument that covers rhythm chops and lightning-fast leads.
* Players in rock, metal or fusion-based genres who need a guitar that can both crunch hard and articulate clean/overdrive nuances.
* Musicians wanting an instrument that balances performance and value without sacrificing style or tone.

The Ibanez RG170DX BKN Electric Guitar in Black Night blends performance-driven hardware, aggressive aesthetics and tonal versatility into one sleek package. If you're after a guitar that looks the part, plays fast, and handles everything from grinding riffs to solo pyrotechnics — this could be the machine for you.
