About Ibanez Iron Label

Ibanez Iron Label Guitars should be your first thought when it comes to metal guitars. Designed with metal in mind these guitars offer premium specs for reliable performance and huge tone. Iron Label guitars feature all the specs a metal player could need with electric pickups from brands such as EMG, DiMarzio, Bartolini, and hardware from Gotoh, and some models including the well respected Ibanez Edge style Tremolos. With the slim neck profiles, flatter fingerboard radius', and jumbo frets they are fantastic for high energy fast playing and shredding. Many of the models feature ebony fretboards which only add to the premium feel. Alongside this many models feature roasted maple necks, multi-piece laminate maple and bubinga necks, and Nyatoh bodies, all designed to deliver the best in stability and tonal performance.

For those players looking to tune even lower than the traditional drop tunings some guitars such as the RGIXL7 and RGRTBB21 come with a longer scale length to accommodate. The sleek blacked out look instils the simplicity of the design which is reflected throughout the guitar, such as the controls which feature a volume, tone, and 3-way selector to let you easily switch between crushing rhythm tones and searing lead tones. Some models such as the RGDRB71 feature a mini switch coil tap for single coil modes which deliver the perfect atmospheric clean tone for modern metal. 

As well as 6 string guitars, Ibanez Iron Label guitars are available in 7 string and 8 string models as well as baritone. Ibanez Iron Label guitars are generally based on RG and S series shapes, though there are some exceptions. The detailing and decoration of the instrument is deliberately utilitarian. This range is designed to meet the need of today's metal musician - a player who wants power, precision and contemporary styling, with guitars that are distinct from more 'shred' style instruments.

Question: Some Ibanez Iron Label guitars are 'Multi Scale': what does this mean?
Multi Scale is a term that is becoming synonymous with contemporary metal guitars. It means that the scale length begins at one value for the lower strings and gradually morphs into a smaller scale length for the higher strings. You can tell a Multi Scale guitar by its 'fanned frets' which are angled to facilitate the two scale lengths. What is the purpose though? Well, it's to maintain proper intonation and string tension on guitars with extra strings, really. The optimum scale legnth for a high E string is not conducive with the optimum scale length for a low B or F# string. Multi Scale guitars are used to accommodate all strings equally.
