Ibanez RG421PB, Sapphire Blue Flat

Full Description

Incredible Playability

Like many guitars from Ibanez, the RG421PB 2018 is designed for unlimited playability for demanding players. The RG421PB has a neck specification aimed at high-performance, speed and comfort. It features a Wizard III Maple neck that is thin, flat and fast, yet strong and sturdy, allowing for easy and comfortable playing. The fretboard features 24 jumbo frets, allowing for a wide tonal range, and offers a 400mmR radius which sits comfortably in your hand.

Mahogany Body & Maple Neck

The stunning poplar burl top features an eye-catching sapphire blue flat finish that is sure to get you noticed. It has an excellent neck joint that allows for easy high-note shredding. With a body constructed from mahogany, the guitar produces tones that are exceptionally balanced and offer plenty of depth. The mahogany construction means the guitar is also lightweight and durable. The Maple neck offers a rounded tone and helps keep things tight and bright, whilst the mahogany body creates a warm, soft tone that also brings with it some grind and bite to give it some roughness.

Quantum Pickups

The Ibanez RG421PB is equipped with Ibanez Quantum pickups that provides you with rich, fat, and warm crunchy tones that are perfect for a range of styles and genres. They offer an excellent dynamic response and provide accelerated bass response for exceptionally fast tracking of high-speed riffing, with crushing mids and high-end articulation, allowing you to shred with a crunchy sound that is full, tight, and still cuts through the mix.
