Ibanez loaded the Iron Label RGDRB71 with a pair of DiMarzio D Activator-7 humbucking pickups. These high-octane pickups deliver a full and enriched harmonic quality that’s great for rhythm and solo playing alike. DiMarzio designed their D Activator pickups to eliminate the sterile edginess that plagues many active pickups. The bottom line is that they deliver all the advantages of active pickups without the drawbacks. Plus, these pickups don’t require batteries! What’s more, their massive headroom permits you to pick as aggressively as you want without flattening your signal. The guitarists here at AJ’s Music & The Music Man have found these pickups to have exceptionally balanced volume between the neck and bridge — you can switch between the two positions with zero drops in volume. The RGDRB71 includes a volume knob, a 3-way toggle switch, and a coil-tap switch.
Mono-rail bridge optimizes string vibrations
The RGDRB71 features Ibanez’s Mono-rail bridge, which uses a single bridge piece for each individual string. This provides tighter component coupling and improves the transfer of string vibrations to the tonewood for a purer, more resonant sound. Additionally, it prevents the vibration of strings from impacting each other, which can increase articulation.
