The RX160 is a solid body electric guitar introduced by Ibanez in 1994. It was made in South Korea as part of the entry level RX series.

The RX160 features a hardwood body bolted to a maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with white dot position markers. Components include a TZ-30 synchronized tremolo bridge and Ibanez Powersound pickups in a humbucker/ single/ single pickup configuration. The neck is attached with a traditional bolt-on method with a metal plate at the joint.

The RX170 is a similar model with a humbucking pickup in the neck position and a maple fretboard.

The RX160 was sold only in the American market and was discontinued after just one year.
