Ibanez RG421EX-BKF Electric - Black Flat

The Ibanez RG421EX-BKF Electric Guitar in Black Flat is a powerful, performance-focused electric guitar designed for rock, metal and high-gain playing. Combining the instantly recognisable Ibanez RG body shape with a fast Wizard III neck, dual Quantum humbuckers and a reliable fixed bridge, the RG421EX offers the playability and tonal power serious guitarists demand.

The Meranti body provides a balanced tonal foundation with plenty of depth and resonance, making the RG421EX particularly well suited to powerful rhythm sounds, chunky riffs and high-gain playing. Its sleek RG body shape also provides excellent access to the upper frets, making it equally comfortable for lead playing and technical guitar work.

The Wizard III Maple neck features Ibanez's renowned slim and fast-playing profile. Designed to provide unrestricted movement across the fretboard, it is ideal for everything from rapid lead lines and solos to complex chords and heavy rhythm playing.

A bound Jatoba fretboard with white dot inlays provides a smooth playing surface and a clean, understated appearance. The guitar is fitted with jumbo frets, giving you plenty of room for bends, vibrato and precise note articulation.

For high-gain tones, the RG421EX is equipped with a pair of Ibanez Quantum humbucking pickups. These pickups offer a powerful, articulate response with the punch and definition needed for modern rock and metal, while retaining enough versatility for a broad range of high-gain styles.

Unlike many RG models fitted with floating tremolo systems, the RG421EX features a fixed bridge. This provides excellent tuning stability and makes string changes and alternate tunings straightforward, making it an especially practical choice for players who prioritise reliability.

Finished in understated Black Flat with black hardware, the RG421EX delivers the aggressive styling associated with the Ibanez RG range while offering a dependable specification suitable for rehearsals, recording and live performance.
