The Ibanez RX170 is a no-frills HH superstrat built for players who want that classic Ibanez speed machine feel without the fancy upgrades. You get a double-cutaway body—probably basswood or something similar—with a bolt-on maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard sporting 24 frets and simple dot inlays. It's made in Korea, which during the production era of these guitars meant solid construction from factories that knew what they were doing. The "HH" means two humbuckers, no single-coils in the middle, just a pair of Ibanez-branded pickups ready to rock. Controls are basic: a 3-way toggle switch, master volume, and master tone.
Plug it in and you're getting straightforward humbucker tones—thick, punchy, and ready for distortion. The bridge pickup handles leads and rhythms with enough output to push your amp, and the neck pickup smooths out for cleaner stuff or warmer leads. The RG-style body gives you that deep cutaway for easy upper-fret access, and the tremolo bridge lets you add some wiggle without expecting Floyd Rose-level dive bombs. It's a solid, affordable platform for rock and metal players who want Ibanez playability without paying for bells and whistles they don't need.
