This is an alphabetized list by surname of musicians who have made notable use of Ibanez RG models in live performances or studio recordings. Because of the great popularity of these models, musicians are listed here only if their use of these instruments was especially significant — that is, if:
- They are musicians with long careers who have a history of faithful RG use.
- Their use of the RG model contributed significantly to the popularization of that particular instrument.
- They are featured in an Ibanez advertising campaign or catalog with an RG.
This list also includes artists who have an Ibanez signature model based on the RG as most of those models strongly resemble standard RG models.
