Ibanez RG420EX-BKF

RG420EX-BKF (Black). Ibanez electric guitar.

An RG guitar from the Ibanez Standard range. Well-built guitars for those who want the Ibanez feel and look but at a lower price without compromising too much on quality.

The guitar has a Wizard III neck which is a slightly thicker version of the popular Wizard profile, it is also a slightly rounder and softer profile than Wizard and Super Wizard. It also has a radius of 400mm instead of the Wizard neck's 430mm.
A very nice neck for those who want a little more wood in their hand without the neck being thick, stiff and clumsy. A fast and very easy-to-play neck equipped with 24 well-ground jumbo frets.

The body is made of Meranti (mahogany), which is a fairly light wood with an even frequency reproduction over the entire register. This makes it a wood that, in terms of sound, is easy to color in many different directions and get many different kinds of sounds out of it. The even frequency reproduction also makes it very suitable for distorted sounds, it glues the sound together nicely without it being either scattered or indistinct.

The bridge is Ibanez's excellent Edge-Zero II, a stable bridge that holds the tone very well.
