Its retro style is matched with modern hardware and specifications to allow a comfortable and playing experience; perfect for musicians just starting on guitar or those seeking to add another quality instrument to their collection.

Mahogany Body & Maple Neck

The Roadcore RC220 features a solid mahogany body to provide a warm and biting tone, perfect for cutting through the mix and being heard with a band. The maple neck is finished with a rosewood fingerboard giving a classic combination known for its comfortable playability and resonance. The double cutaway of the RC220's body allow for easy access to the top end of the neck; perfect for all of those lead guitar solos.

Comfortable Playing Features

The neck of the RC220 features a rounded profile which sits nicely in the left hand. With a modern 240mm radius and medium frets, the fingerboard has the balance to allow for both comfortable chords and easy solo playing, especially when bending strings where the radius will prevent strings from cutting out. The back of the neck is gloss-finished which gives a comfortable feel with a vintage appearance.

Strong Tones From Humbucking Pickups

Core Tone pickups are included on this guitar to provide solid rock tones without any hum or extraneous noise. They complement the mahogany body in giving authoritative sounds and are accessed via a 3-way toggle switch to provide different combinations of tones. A single volume and tone control means that this guitar is simple enough to use live and yet provide all the tone options that you could require. The Sure Grip II knobs feature a nonslip functionality, ensuring precise control along with smooth and classic looks.

A Solid Guitar Ready To Gig

The solid tonewoods, adjustable neck and fixed bridge ensure that the RC220 should reliably stay in tune and provide a confident performance on stage. Humbucking pickups complement a mahogany body to give a strong tone. This is a reliable guitar that will provide confidence to take your playing from the practice room to the stage.

About Ibanez Guitars
