Ibanez

Description

The Ibanez RG421DX electric guitar delivers the fast, focused feel that has defined the RG line for decades, built for players who prioritize speed, clarity, and control. Its meranti body produces a scooped midrange with a sweet, resonant response that works especially well for modern rock and metal tones. A bolt-on Wizard III maple neck keeps the profile thin and quick, paired with a familiar 25.5" scale length and a jatoba fingerboard fitted with 24 jumbo frets for a full two-octave range. Quantum humbuckers handle electronics through a simple 1-volume, 1-tone layout and a 5-way selector, making the RG421DX easy to dial in for fast riffs, articulate leads, and tight rhythm work.

Wizard III Neck Built for Fast Playing

The Wizard III neck is designed to feel flat, slim, and easy to navigate, especially during quick position shifts and technical passages. Its maple construction keeps the neck stable, while the satin polyurethane finish reduces friction for smooth movement up and down the fretboard. With 24 jumbo frets available, the neck supports extended solos and modern playing styles without feeling restrictive.

Jatoba Fingerboard With Jumbo Frets

The jatoba fingerboard adds a focused midrange and a crisp top end that complements the meranti body well. 24 jumbo frets provide a smooth, forgiving feel for bends, vibrato, and fast single-note runs. Sharktooth inlays complete the classic RG look while keeping fretboard navigation clear and intuitive.

Quantum Humbuckers With Fast Tracking

The Quantum HH pickup set is voiced for quick low-end response and clear note definition, helping fast passages stay articulate under higher gain. The ceramic humbuckers deliver strong attack with a full-bodied mid-to-high range, making them well suited for aggressive rhythm tones and precise lead work. Even during complex riffs, notes remain defined and controlled.

F106 Fixed Bridge for Stable Response

The F106 fixed bridge is designed to enhance sustain while maintaining reliable tuning stability. Each string’s height can be adjusted independently, allowing you to fine-tune feel and setup with ease. The fixed bridge design also contributes to a direct, consistent response that many players prefer for tight rhythm playing.

A Straightforward RG Built to Perform

The RG Standard lineup is aimed at players who want classic RG speed and tone in a practical, no-frills package. Finished in Twilight Shade with black hardware, the RG421DX is well suited for rehearsals, recording, and live use where reliability and precision matter. It’s a solid choice for players looking for a fast, modern electric guitar that stays focused on performance.
