The RG870SPZ features a basswood body bolted to a titanium reinforced maple and walnut neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with offset pearl dot position markers. Components include newly developed Ibanez CAP-VM pickups with a pair of humbuckers flanking a single-coil and an Edge Zero II double locking tremolo with a removable ZPS stabilizer. The RG870Z is a similar regular production model. The RG870SPZ was discontinued after 2012.
