Ibanez RG421EX-BKF

The Ibanez RG421EX-BKF is a 6-string electric guitar from the RG series, designed around the fast playability and straightforward performance that define the RG platform. It features a Meranti body, Wizard III Maple neck and bound Jatoba fretboard, providing a comfortable and responsive playing feel. The 648mm (25.5") scale length, 24 jumbo frets and thin Wizard III neck make it well suited to fast riffs, lead passages and demanding rhythm work. (Ibanez)

The guitar is equipped with a pair of Ibanez Quantum passive ceramic humbuckers in an HH configuration. These pickups are designed for a quick low-end response, strong midrange and defined high frequencies, making them particularly effective for tight, high-gain rhythm playing and fast passages. The 5-way pickup selector provides five pickup combinations, including parallel and mixed-coil configurations for additional tonal flexibility. (Ibanez)

A fixed F106 bridge provides stable string support and allows individual string-height adjustment, making it a practical choice for players who prefer a fixed bridge over a tremolo system. The guitar features black hardware, a durable mono-unit output jack and a Black Flat (BKF) finish. It is factory-fitted with D'Addario EXL110 strings and tuned to standard E tuning. (Ibanez)
