RGTHRG2 with NY City XI (Exotic) graphic

The RGTHRG2 is an RG series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2006. It is part of the H. R. Giger series with body covered in a graphic print of a portion of Giger's painting NY City XI (Exotic).

The RGTHRG2 features neck-through-body construction with mahogany body wings attached to a maple and walnut neck. The neck has a 24-fret bound rosewood fingerboard with deluxe sharktooth position markers. Components include dual Ibanez Infinity humbucking pickups, an Edge Pro II double locking tremolo bridge and a locking nut.

The RGTHRG2 was the second RGT model bearing a Giger graphic after 2005's RGTHRG1. The RGT42DX is a similar model without the Giger graphic.

The RGTHRG2 was discontinued after two years of production.
