Built for speed, precision, and power, the Ibanez RG421DX is a metal-ready workhorse designed to meet the demands of today’s high-octane players. With over three decades of relentless refinement, the RG series has become synonymous with fast-playing necks, aggressive tone, and uncompromising performance—and the RG421DX proudly carries that torch forward.
At the core of the RG421DX is the ultra-slim Wizard III Maple neck, built for lightning-fast runs and comfortable chording. Paired with a Jatoba fretboard and 24 jumbo frets, this neck offers a smooth, expressive playing surface that lets your technique shine. The two-octave range gives you extended tonal reach, perfect for solos and complex riffs.
The Meranti body delivers a sweet, scooped midrange tone ideal for high-gain applications, while maintaining warmth and definition across all frequencies. Whether you’re riffing hard or laying down intricate lead work, the RG421DX responds with clarity and punch.
Under the hood, a pair of Quantum humbuckers drive the tone with quick low-end response and precise note separation. They handle everything from tight, percussive rhythms to soaring leads with ease, making this guitar a true metal multitool.
Anchoring the instrument is the F106 bridge, which enhances sustain and allows for easy, independent string height adjustments for optimal action and comfort.
For players who demand speed, tone, and reliability in one sleek package, the RG421DX delivers on every level.
