Ibanez RG Series (Premium) — thin-neck shredder at a surprisingly low asking price

An Ibanez RG Series listing detected in the Premium tier with an asking price well below historical like-for-like asking benchmarks.

Why we selected it today

The RG family is centred on thin necks, deep cutaways and high-output electronics. This Premium-tier RG shows up at an asking price much lower than historical like-for-like asking-price references, making it a notable value opportunity if the exact model code and factory match the seller’s description. The pricing evidence helped too: AG currently rates the asking price as Great Price against its like-for-like comparison set.

How we matched this guitar

The RG family covers a wide range from entry-level fixed-bridge models to high-end Japanese Prestige instruments. Exact model codes and factory origin are critical to understanding where a particular RG sits in that spectrum.

Key features

Thin necks, deep cutaways and emphasis on high-output electronics are the RG family traits. For Premium-tier RGs, verify model code and specifications to separate them from entry-level or Prestige variants.

How the asking price compares

At $484.11, this sits against a current median asking price of $1,057.41 across 1 other closely matched listing. For now, the current market median remains the main AG benchmark at $873.88. The featured guitar is about 44.6% below that level. That earns AG’s Great Price rating: on the evidence available, it is notably keener than the centre of the current asking-price market. These are observed eBay asking prices, not confirmed sold prices.
