Ibanez XPT420DX-RGC

XPT420-RGC (Rose Gold Chameleon). Electric guitar Xiphos 6-string.

Xiphos is one of the series in Ibanez's large range, models with more extreme shapes and execution.
Guitars for guitarists who are looking for everything but the traditional, guitars for Heavy Metal that are visible and take their place.

Xiphos speaks a very clear language about what it is built to be used for, optimized in every detail to be a full-fledged ?take no prisoner? metal machine.
With an appearance dripping with attitude that demands its place, powerful ?in your face? pickups and an extremely easy-to-play neck, it lets all your riffs come out exactly as you intended them.
If you want nothing too stand in your way on your quest for low tuned world domination, this is the weapon for you. But it would work just as well even if you thought ?that one is obviously for me and my stupid disco band?, a little attitude doesn't hurt there either.

The neck is an Ibanez Wizard III neck, the Wizard III is a slightly thicker version of the popular Wizard profile, also a slightly rounder and softer profile. It also has a radius of 400mm instead of the Wizard neck's 430mm.

The neck is a 5-piece neck-thru construction (the neck continues through the entire body). An extremely powerful and durable construction.
The rest of the body (the wings on the side of the neck piece) is made of Okoume, a type of wood that tends to be a little warmer and more mid-range in terms of sound. The treble is a little softly rounded but without losing clarity and separation. It has a pleasant hump in the midrange that makes the sound during melody/solo playing fat and singing with long sustain.

The pickups are connected on a 3-position toggle switch with common tone and volume.
The positions you can access on the switch are,
1. Bridge pickup in series*
2. Bridge pickup in series + neck pickup in series (in parallel with each other)
3. Neck pickup in series

* Series, both coils on the pickup are connected in series after each other and the pickup gives as much output and power as it is designed for. If you read about the pickup on the manufacturer's website, this is the position that is described. The pickup is then hum-cancelling and completely silent.
