The Ibanez RG770 is an RG series electric guitar model, introduced in 1990 as part of the Roadstar series. It is similar to the RG570 introduced a year earlier, but features DiMarzio made IBZ/USA pickups, a bound rosewood fingerboard and sharktooth inlays.

During its production run, a couple of changes were made to the RG770. In 1991, the mid pickup was changed and in 1992 the model was updated with the Lo-Pro Edge tremolo and direct mount pickups.

For the Japanese market, a model with a special paisley graphic finish was made, known as the RG770 CP-P. In catalogs, this model was shown with the somewhat different Cutaway Heel neck joint. A similar finish was available for the RG760.

The RG770 was discontinued after 1993. In 1994, a similar model with gold hardware was introduced as the RG770G as one of the last models of the RG700 subseries. A lot of recent models such as the RG2570Z are still based on the RG770 setup.
