The Ibanez RG Fixed is a range of guitars with fixed bridge made by Ibanez. All guitars feature two Humbuckers and a five-way pickup selector with the exception of the RGT6EXFX, RG321EX, RGR321EX and the Rg2Ex1/Rg2ex2 with only a three-way selector.
Origins
The RG guitars with fixed bridges were introduced to the market following the demand of various artists for an RG guitar without a tremolo. The RG "fixed" series are basically regular RG guitars but with fixed bridges (i.e. excluding the tremolo). This series offers through-body stringing for improved sound and sustain. The fixed bridge does make it harder to perform string bends, but in return gives more tuning stability, as well as an altogether warmer and rounder sound than the RG Tremolo series. The bodies are made of mahogany as in Gibson's Les Paul and SG series, or basswood.
