The RG450DX is an RG series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in early-2024. It replaced a previous model with the same name but with slightly different specs. It is produced in Indonesia, for distribution exclusively through central European distibutor Meinl.

This RG450DX features a meranti body with a one-piece maple neck with a thin Wizard III profile and a 24-fret jatoba fingerboard with white sharktooth position markers. Components include Ibanez Quantum pickups mounted in a white pearloid pickguard with a pair of humbuckers flanking a single-coil, an Edge Zero II double locking tremolo bridge, a locking nut, and Ibanez tuning machines.

The RG450DXB is a similar model with black hardware.
