Ibanez RG421PB-CHF

The Ibanez RG421PB-CHF is a 6-string electric guitar from the renowned RG series, designed for fast playability, powerful tones and reliable performance. It combines a Meranti body with a Poplar Burl top, giving the guitar a distinctive figured appearance while providing a balanced tonal foundation. The Wizard III Maple neck and Jatoba fretboard offer a thin, comfortable profile suited to rapid riffs, lead playing and extended sessions, while the 24-fret layout provides a full two-octave playing range. (Ibanez)

The RG421PB-CHF features a pair of Ibanez Quantum passive ceramic humbuckers in an HH configuration. These pickups are designed for a fast bass response, strong midrange presence and defined high frequencies, making them particularly effective for tight rhythm playing, staccato riffs and high-gain applications. The 5-way pickup selector also provides additional pickup combinations, allowing the guitar to move beyond its primary humbucker sounds. (Ibanez)

A fixed F106 bridge provides stable string support and straightforward adjustment of individual string height and intonation. The 648mm (25.5") scale, 43mm nut width and 400mm fretboard radius provide a familiar RG playing feel, while the Cosmo Black hardware complements the Caribbean Shoreline Flat finish. The guitar comes factory-fitted with D'Addario EXL110 strings in standard E tuning. (Ibanez)
