Ibanez RGR5130R-KM: technical overview

The Ibanez RGR5130R-KM is a six-string electric guitar made in Japan, listed as available since March 2026. Its specifications point to a performance-focused design: a basswood body, a bolt-on five-piece maple and wenge neck, a rosewood fingerboard, two Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic humbuckers, and a Lo-Pro Edge tremolo. The listed price is 2075; no currency is specified in the supplied information.

There are no customer reviews available for this model. The assessment here is therefore limited to the stated materials, dimensions, electronics, and included accessories. Those details allow a useful comparison with other guitars, but they do not establish how the instrument feels, sounds, or performs in a player's hands.

Body, neck, and fingerboard

The body is described as basswood, with no separate top. Its finish is listed as Khaki Metallic, while the general color entry says Khaki. The neck is a bolt-on, five-piece maple and wenge construction, with Ibanez's Super Wizard HP profile. That name identifies the specified neck shape, but the supplied data does not provide measurements for its thickness at the first or twelfth fret. Players comparing neck dimensions should seek those measurements before buying.

The rosewood fingerboard has a stated radius of 430 mm (16.93 inches), a relatively flat measurement commonly associated with electric guitars designed for lower action and wide string bends. The radius alone does not determine setup or playing comfort, so it should be treated as a dimension rather than a guarantee of feel. Offset mother-of-pearl dot inlays mark the fingerboard.

The scale length is 648 mm (25.5 inches), a familiar full-length specification for many electric guitars. The nut width is 43 mm (1.69 inches). Ibanez lists 24 jumbo stainless steel frets. Stainless steel is the fret material, while jumbo describes their stated size category. The data does not give fret dimensions, so those labels cannot provide a more exact comparison with another instrument.

Pickups and controls

The RGR5130R-KM uses two Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic humbuckers, one in the bridge position and one in the neck position. A three-way pickup switch selects between the available pickup combinations. The control layout consists of one volume knob and one tone knob, with a Fishman Fluence voicing switch also specified.

The voicing switch is a key part of this electronics package, but the provided specifications do not explain its available settings or describe the output of each voice. They also do not identify detailed wiring options beyond the three-way switch. Buyers who need a particular switching arrangement should confirm the voicing behavior and wiring details with Ibanez or a retailer rather than assume features that are not listed.

The ceramic humbucker configuration gives the guitar two pickups in a format often chosen for noise-resistant operation compared with single-coil designs. That general distinction does not establish this model's exact output, frequency response, or suitability for a particular style. Those judgments require listening tests, which are not available in the supplied information.

Tremolo, hardware, and included case

The bridge is an Ibanez Lo-Pro Edge tremolo, paired with a locking nut. Gotoh machine heads are specified, and the hardware has a satin black finish. The bridge and locking nut are the principal tuning-related hardware details listed. The supplied data does not describe the tremolo's setup, spring arrangement, adjustment range, or how well the guitar holds tuning under use.

A hard case is included. A gig bag is not included, which is consistent with the separate listing that says the guitar comes with a case. For transport, that makes the included case the specified protection option, though the case's construction and interior details are not provided.

What the specifications establish

The documented package is clear on its main components: a basswood body, a five-piece maple and wenge neck, a rosewood fingerboard, 24 stainless steel frets, two Fishman Fluence humbuckers, and a Lo-Pro Edge bridge. Its 25.5-inch scale and 43 mm nut width also give players concrete dimensions for comparing fit with instruments they already own.

Important buying questions remain unanswered in the available data. There are no stated neck thickness measurements, no detailed pickup-voicing descriptions, and no customer feedback or independent performance results. The listing also does not provide weight, setup measurements, or a currency for the price of 2075. These gaps matter when comparing value or predicting comfort, so the specifications should not be treated as a substitute for a hands-on test.

For shoppers considering the Ibanez RGR5130R-KM, the strongest basis for evaluation is its specified hardware and construction, along with the included case and Japanese manufacture. Before purchase, confirm the price currency, exact voicing-switch functions, neck measurements, and current availability. The listed item number is 633107.

Scores by area

Where it shines, where it stumbles

What convinced me

  • Two Fishman Fluence Modern ceramic humbuckers with a voice switch offer selectable pickup voicings.
  • The five-piece maple and wenge neck, rosewood fingerboard, and 24 jumbo stainless-steel frets are built for demanding playing.
  • Includes a Lo-Pro Edge tremolo, Gotoh tuning machines, a locking nut, and a hard case.

What bugged me

  • No customer reviews are available to confirm real-world performance or quality consistency.
  • The fixed pickup layout and two-control setup offer less tonal flexibility than guitars with additional pickup options or controls.

Is it the right one for you?

Good pick if

Well suited to experienced players seeking a fast-playing neck, a locking tremolo, and modern high-output humbuckers. A strong specification match for players focused on rock and metal styles.

Look elsewhere if

Less suitable for players who want single-coil tones, a wider range of pickup combinations, or extensive onboard controls. Buyers who rely on customer reviews may prefer to wait for owner feedback.
