Ibanez fortifies Iron Label guitar line with 5 new RG models
Gotoh locking tuners and EMG pickups onboard
Introduction
Ibanez's Iron Label range continues to go from strength to strength, and the latest batch of guitars to join the line offers upgraded, made-for-metal takes on the quintessential Ibanez outline, the RG.
