The RGD71ALPA features a poplar burl top on a layered ash and nyatoh body bolted to a panga panga and walnut neck with a Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 Sub Zero treated frets, white step offset dot position markers and luminescent side dots. Components include a pair of Bare Knuckle Aftermath 7 humbuckers, a set of 7 indiviually mounted Mono-rail bridges, a plastic nut, Gotoh locking tuning machines and Schaller S-Lock strap lock pins. It also has a luminescent Ibanez headstock logo.

The RGD71ALMS is a related model with a multi-scale neck, nyatoh body and Fishman Fluence pickups. The RGD70ALNB is a related model with a nyatoh body, double locking tremolo bridge and DiMarzio pickups.
