Quick Product Summary

The Ibanez RG460DX-BLH delivers the fast playability, aggressive styling and tonal flexibility that have made the RG series a favourite among rock and metal players. Finished in Blue Haze, it combines a meranti body with a thin Wizard III maple neck and 24-fret jatoba fingerboard for comfortable rhythm work and effortless upper-register playing.

An S-S-H arrangement of Ibanez Quantum pickups provides everything from articulate single-coil sounds to powerful bridge humbucker tones, while the Edge-Zero II tremolo and locking nut give players a capable platform for expressive lead techniques.

What Makes the Ibanez RG460DX-BLH Special?

The RG460DX combines a versatile three-pickup layout with Ibanez's performance-focused RG construction. Two Alnico Quantum single coils provide clarity and definition at the neck and middle positions, while the ceramic Quantum bridge humbucker adds the extra power needed for driven rhythm and lead sounds.

Its Wizard III maple neck has the thin, flat profile associated with the RG series, complemented by a 400mm-radius fingerboard and 24 jumbo frets. The Edge-Zero II tremolo uses a low-profile design for playing comfort while providing the pitch control demanded by modern lead styles.

Who Is It For?

The RG460DX-BLH is particularly well suited to:

• Rock and metal guitarists
• Lead players who regularly use tremolo techniques
• Players who prefer thin, fast-playing necks
• Guitarists looking for both single-coil and humbucker tones
• Developing players moving into more technical styles
• Home and studio recording
• Live performers
• Players who want a full 24-fret fingerboard
