If you’re looking for an Ibanez RG that stands apart from the usual production models, this RG6002 is a seriously cool find. Introduced in 2014, the RG6002 was a one-year-only model offered exclusively through Guitar Center and Musician’s Friend in the United States.
Built around a solid mahogany body, this guitar delivers the weight, punch, and warmth needed for thick rhythm tones while retaining the sharp, aggressive character players expect from an RG. The fast one-piece maple Wizard III neck, 24 jumbo frets, and deep Ibanez All Access Neck Joint make it easy to move up and down the entire rosewood fingerboard. Sharktooth inlays and the contrasting pearloid pickguard complete its unmistakably aggressive appearance.
The dual Ibanez Infinity ceramic humbuckers provide plenty of output for hard rock and metal. The Infinity 4 bridge pickup is well suited to palm-muted riffs, heavy chords, and cutting leads, while the Infinity 3 neck pickup delivers a fuller voice for fluid soloing and warmer passages. A five-way selector expands the available tonal range beyond a conventional two-humbucker layout.
The double-locking tremolo lets you dig into dives, squeals, and expressive lead work while helping maintain tuning stability. With its sleek RG body, fast Wizard III neck, 25.5-inch scale, locking tremolo, and powerful HH pickup configuration, this guitar was made for players who want to riff hard, shred freely, and have some serious fun doing it.
Because the RG6002 was available only during 2014, it is considerably less common than many standard RG models. Whoever ends up with this one will be getting a distinctive, metal-ready Ibanez that looks fantastic and was built to be played. Once you have it in your hands and start moving around that Wizard III neck, you may not want to put it down. Don’t wait too long and miss your chance to add this uncommon RG to your arsenal!
