The RG6003FM is an RG series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2015. It is a spot model which is offered exclusively by US retail chains Guitar Center and Musician's Friend. It is produced in Indonesia.

The RG6003FM features a flamed maple top on a mahogany body bolted to a maple Wizard III neck with a rosewood fingerboard with offset dot position markers. Components include a fixed bridge, a pair of Ibanez Quantum humbucking pickups mounted in metal pickup rings, and die-cast tuning machines.

For 2018 the fretboard was changed to jatoba. For 2020 the bridge was replaced with the new F106.

The RG421 is similar but without the flamed maple body and offset fretboard inlays.
