Is the price shown inclusive of VAT?

Yes. Every price on Northgate Music Co. includes UK VAT at 20%, and a full VAT invoice is emailed with your dispatch confirmation. There are no import duties or handling fees on UK orders.

Will it need a set-up when it arrives?

No. Our workshop completes a full set-up before dispatch — truss rod, action, intonation and fresh strings — and includes the measurements in the box. UK humidity changes may call for a small seasonal tweak later on.

What happens if I don't get on with it?

You have 30 days from delivery to return it for a full refund. We email you a free UK return label, and refunds are processed to your original payment method within 5 working days of the item arriving back with us.

What warranty cover is included?

Two years parts and labour against manufacturing defects, on top of your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Consumables such as strings, reeds, heads and batteries are covered for 90 days.

Elevate your playing experience with the Ibanez Prestige RGR652AHBF, now available at Irvine Art and Music. Designed for discerning musicians, this guitar embodies playability, sound, and aesthetics in perfect harmony. Crafted with a distinctive ash RG body, it delivers a pronounced treble response that cuts through any mix. The lightning-fast 5-piece maple/walnut Super Wizard HP neck ensures effortless execution of lightning-fast runs, arpeggios, and dynamic bends.

Gibraltar Standard II Fixed Bridge: Stability Meets Comfort In a departure from the traditional vibrato tailpiece, the RGR652AHBF features the Gibraltar Standard II fixed bridge — a boon for those who prefer a hardtail design. Offering the comfort of a classic RG floating trem combined with the rock-solid stability of a fixed bridge, it ensures exceptional tuning reliability. The low-profile design provides a comfortable playing experience, making it an ideal choice for serious guitarists.

DiMarzio Fusion Edge Humbuckers: Precision in Every Note Collaborating with renowned pickup maker DiMarzio, Ibanez brings you the Fusion Edge humbucking pickups. Engineered for down-tuned metal, these pickups deliver a powerful, scooped sound with tight, controlled bass response and articulate high-end clarity. Ideal for djent chugs and rapid-fire riffing, they provide the precision and aggression demanded by modern metal players.

Top-tier Craftsmanship from the Prestige Series Experience the pinnacle of Ibanez craftsmanship with the RGR652AHBF from the prestigious Prestige series. The combination of the distinctive ash body, lightning-fast Super Wizard HP Prestige neck, and DiMarzio Fusion Edge pickups results in a guitar of unmatched performance and tone.
