The Ibanez RG Fixed is a range of guitars with fixed bridge made by Ibanez. It contains the smallest category of RG guitars with only 4 models. One of the models, a RGT6EXFX is a limited edition guitar, are the highest quality RG guitar to not have the name "Prestige" on its headstock. All guitars features two Humbuckers and a 5-way pickup selector with the exception of the RGT6EXFX.

[edit] 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 thru-body stringing for improved sound and sustain. The fixed bridge also makes it easier to perform string bends and gives 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 with the exception of the RG7321 which is made from basswood.
