The RG770FM is an RG series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2001. It's the second model to bear this model name after a previous 1990 model.

This RG770FM features a flamed maple top on a basswood body bolted to a maple Wizard neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with white binding and offset pearloid dot position markers. Components include Ibanez Quantum pickups with a pair of humbuckers flanking a single-coil, a Lo-Pro Edge double locking tremolo bridge with a narrow 42mm locking nut and Gotoh tuning machines in special cosmo white finish.

The RG760FM was a related model with a pickguard and a single coil pickup in the neck position.

The RG770FM was offered only in the Japanese market and was discontinued after a production run of two years.
