The Ibanez RG9PB features a Wizard 5pc Maple/Walnut neck with a Macassar Ebony fretboard that produces tight lows and mid-range with strong attack in the highs and quick response with rich sustain.

The guitar has a Poplar Burl top and Nyatoh body that provide a rich mid-low end and feature an exotic wood grain. The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker Alnico and Ceramic pickups provide an aggressive tone and a powerful attack without excess noise.

The Gibraltar Standard II bridge is a simple fixed bridge designed to provide optimal transfer of each string's vibration and its smooth surface maximizes playing comfort. The guitar also features a coil-tap switch to add sound and tonal variations for both pickups and a Fishman Fluence Voicing switch on the volume control (push/pull) to switch the pickups from a modern, active high output sound to a crisp, clean and fluid sound. The Transparent Gray Flat finish adds a stylish touch to the guitar's appearance.
