Ibanez RG170DX BKN Guitar

RG170DX

The RG170DX is an RG series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2003.

The RG170DX is similar to the RG170 and RG170R, but features a rosewood fingerboard with sharktooth inlays. Other features include a basswood body, Ibanez Powersound pickups and the FAT 20 synchronized tremolo bridge.

In 2004, the RG170DX was renamed GRG170DX and returned as part of the newly introduced GIO line. A similar model was offered in Japan as the RG180DX.
