Ibanez USA IBANEZ RG 770 Gold Era 1991 electric guitar

The RG770 features a basswood body bolted to a maple Wizard neck with a 24-fret bound rosewood fingerboard with shark`s tooth position markers. Components include DiMarzio-made IBZ/USA pickups with a pair of F2 humbuckers flanking a C2 noiseless, stacked single-coil, a double locking tremolo bridge with a locking nut and Gotoh tuning machines.

The pickups on the RG770 were mounted in pickup rings in 1990 and 1991, but starting in 1992 they were mounted directly to the body. Also in 1992 a new low-profile tremolo was swapped out for the original Edge.

For the Japanese market, a model with a special paisley graphic finish was made, known as the RG770 CP-P. In catalogs, this model was shown with the somewhat different Cutaway Heel neck joint. A similar finish was available for the RG760.

This model is the version made for the US domestic market, the inscription on the neck plate reads Bensalem.



The RG770 was discontinued after 1993. In 1994, a similar model with gold hardware was introduced as the RG770G as one of the last models of the RG700 subseries. A lot of recent models such as the RG2570Z are still based on the RG770 setup.
