Key Features
Product Ref: 42601
The natural finish on this guitar gives an understated look and allows the wood grain to shine through. The cosmo black tuners and black pickups give a distinctive finish to this shredder's dream.
The Ibanez feature’s their own wizard III neck profile, offering incredible comfort and speed for fast hand manoeuvres. While the maple neck features a naturally smooth feel, the profile provides a thin, contoured shape that lets your hand cup the neck with ease. The rosewood fingerboard enhances the guitars tone with richness and dynamics, creating sparkling highs and firm lows.
The Ibanez RG421 is equipped with a duo of Ibanez Quantum pickups, located on the bridge and neck positions, along with 5-way switching. The pickups are especially designed to offer the player a range of tones, letting them achieve the perfect sound. The humbuckers provide an accelerated bass response, ideal for punchy rhythm riffs, and high-speed staccatos. In addition, these pickups also offer a precise high-end articulation, ideal for rock and metal players.
The Ibanez RG421's Mahogany body features a fixed bridge which is slightly unusual for Ibanez guitars like this. However, it makes this guitar much easier to tune and keep in tune for longer, plus it gives you a bit of extra sustain for a great all-round guitar sound.
Over the past 30 years, Ibanez Guitars have always been at the forefront of developing the right tools for electric guitar players pushing the boundaries of music. For decades, Ibanez designers and luthiers have been the embodiment of this ideology, pushing their skills to the edge of imagination, consistently creating some of the most versatile and unique instruments ever. Although Ibanez guitars have been made since 1908, it wasn't until the late 1980s that they began to form an identity for themselves when artists such as Steve Vai and Frank Zappa began using their instruments. Now with a huge artist clientele across the globe, Ibanez are a leading manufacturer of electric guitars and basses and a first choice for many dedicated musicians.
