The Ibanez RGA Didn't Get Any New Models. Here's Why
58The Ibanez RGA series of guitars didn’t get any new models for 2025 at the winter NAMM show aside from the signature Korn guitars.. I love this series of guitar so this is especially painful. This video discusses potential reasons for why Ibanez may not be focusing on this line of guitars at this time.
