RG3070BR Natural Red copyright sprite

The RG3070BR is an RG series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in mid-2022. It was produced in Japan by FujiGen as part of the upscale Prestige line and was sold only in Japan.

The RG3070BR features a Brazilian rosewood top on an African mahogany body bolted to a maple and walnut Super Wizard neck with a 24-fret Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with offset white dot position markers and Luminlay side dots. Components include DiMarzio pickups with Air Norton and Tone Zone humbuckers mounted directly to the body flanking a True Velvet single-coil, an Edge double locking tremolo bridge and Gotoh tuning machines.

The RG3070 is a similar model without the Brazilian rosewood top and with a Macassar ebony fretboard. The RG3021BR is a related hard-tail model without the middle pickup.

The RG3070BR was discontinued after 2023.
