Ibanez
Description
The RG is the most recognizable and distinctive guitar in the Ibanez line. Three decades of metal have forged this high-performance machine, honing it for both speed and strength. This RG421 model has a mahogany body and a Wizard III neck shape that offers maximum comfort and speed. Its fingerboard is jatoba with 24 jumbo frets for bigger note bends and it also comes with dual Ibanez INF pickups that are wired to a 5-way switch for a variety of coil combinations and sounds. A fixed bridge and Cosmo black hardware complete the list of hard-rockin' appointments.

Wizard III Maple neck
Ibanez's thin, flat, and fast, yet strong and sturdy, Wizard neck offers unlimited playability for demanding players, and features a two-octave 24-fret fretboard for wide tonal range.

Quantum pickups
The Quantum pickups provide accelerated bass response for exceptionally fast tracking of high-speed staccato riffing with crushing mid range and precise high-end articulation.
Case sold separately.

    Found one used at GC on line. It showed up in perfect condition. For a mahogany body guitar, she is pretty light. It was in need of a set up bad, but most guitars will need that. The quantum pickups sound pretty darn nice in this guitar. Was going to swap them out, not anymore. The bridge pickup is agressive with a nice top end that is not harsh. The neck pickup is quite smooth as well. This is my second RG hardtail and I have to say, Ibanez does a fantastic job for the price. I have played some more expensive guitars that dont hold a candle to this RG. For modern tone and a gorgeous body, this fine lady is it!

    My first Ibanez and I'm not disappointed. My best friend is a guitar builder and had been a player for years. His preference has been Ibanez and I always like their style. After careful consideration and due diligence I landed on the 421. The bonus is that when I got ready to buy, it was on sale! SCORE! Now i'm not a pro player and have been playing a Strat Blacktop for the past year, and it's a great guitar, but something was missing. I now have the metal crunch I was looking for in a guitar. The fretboard is an adjustment from the Strat, but in two weeks, it's getting better quicker. The only thing I wish was better, was the different tones available thru switching the pickups. 5 position selector is nice, but the variance is not as noticeable in positions 1-3. 4 is nice for country and blues. 1 and 2 rock.
