Its fingerboard is rosewood with 24 jumbo frets for bigger note bends and it also comes with dual Ibanez INF pickups that are wired to a 5-way switch for a variety of coil combinations and sounds. A fixed bridge and Cosmo black hardware complete the list of hard-rockin' appointments. Wizard III Maple neck Ibanez's thin, flat, and fast, yet strong and sturdy, Wizard neck offers unlimited playability for demanding players, and features a two- octave 24-fret fretboard for wide tonal range. Quantum pickups The Quantum pickups provide accelerated bass response for exceptionally fast tracking of high-speed staccato riffing with crushing mid range and precise high-end articulation.

    • Great guitar!
Color: Pearl Black Fade Metallic
Beautiful guitar! The tone and sound quality is great! The fret board feels a little rough compared to my ESP but nothing too hard to get used to.

    • Awesome guitar but received used one from seller
Color: Pearl Black Fade Metallic

Really want to live this beautiful guitar but the one I got from the seller is covered by fingerprints all over the body and nob. The pickups looks like greasy, oil and dust on the pickup frame. I understand the guitar will be displaying in store or test play by people but not like THIS! There is even minor scratch on the fretboard. Spend a good full hour to clean it out and the beauty finally exposed! I played Jackson and fender in the same price range, the guitar from Ibanez always make me feel they are really well-made products and take care every detail of the design. Love the guitar but seller is NO GOOD! You can find way better experiences from sweet water or other websites. ... show more

    • Impressive!
Color: Blackberry Sunburst
This is the first time I've bought an instrument online. I'm pretty skeptical about the quality and condition I will get. So I am quite impressed with this seller. The guitar arrived before the expected delivery date. The packaging wasn't great, but the guitar arrived in perfect condition and was already set up and ready to go with nice strings! The guitar itself is fantastic for the price. I upgraded from an Ibanez GIO and the shape is the same, so it's pretty comfortable and familiar. The sound and tone is much better than the Gio though. The chords and notes can sustain for about 10 seconds, and the clean tones are incredible, almost like a telecaster. It's so easy to play harmonics on as well! I have a terrible amp, so I can't speak to the distorted sound, but this guitar is popular with the metal community. The 5-way switch provides a decent range in tones, and the volume and tone knobs have a significant effect on the sound. With the thin neck and low action, this guitar is easy to play and switch between positions across the fretboard. The tuners hold the tuning pretty well, better than the Gio and better than my Alvarez acoustic. The body of the guitar is heavy due to being solid mahogany, but it's lighter than I expected. Still, it can put alot of stress on your shoulders! Overall, I'd say this guitar is perfect for beginners as a first or second guitar, especially if you want versatility and durability. The price provides a fantastic value for what you get, and it should work very well in the studio or live (though your shoulders might disagree). It also looks great đź‘Ť. ... show more

As you can see from my pics, I mainly play LTD’s. Live in Ohio but have a condo in Florida. Wanted a cheap guitar to leave down there for something to play. This was delivered in 3 days. Opened the box and was stunned at how beautiful it was. I honestly wasn’t expecting much. Set up was fairly good, I lowered the strings a bit. Even put on eights. Fantastic neck! I was expecting to swap out the pickups but they are really smooth. Figured I’d swap out the tuners for locking tuners……but they hold perfectly…as well as my LTD’s. I fell so in love with it I realized I couldn’t leave it in Florida……so, what the heck, 4 days later I ordered another one. Crossed my fingers that it would be as nice as the first one…..and it is. Their quality control at Ibanez must be something they take seriously. Based on my experience I think you can buy with confidence. ... show more

    • An impressive instrument!
Color: Pearl Black Fade Metallic
This is a great-sounding budget-friendly Ibanez model from the "Standard RG" series. The tones are warm, but can also be quite crisp, depending on which tonal blend you set the guitar on. I personally prefer humbucker pickups (as opposed to single coils) and I found the Quantum pickups on this model pretty good. The fretboard is comfortable and the tones come out clean. On some of my older guitars, there was a bit of sound "smudge" due to the strings bending a bit no matter how lightly the note was picked up. There is no such problem here - the sounds come out clean and full. This guitar came with a medium gauge D'Addario XL strings, which sound fine. In terms of action, it is low and comfortable, and there is some fret buzz only if I hit the low E string with some force (when playing metal riffs - but when the sound is distorted, the fret buzz is not perceptible at all even when present). When I play clean melodies, there is no fret buzz. The guitar is rather light (or leaning towards light), and, overall, for the money, it seems an excellent buy. Ibanez do not sacrifice quality where it matters, and even their lower-tier guitars sound excellent. This guitar is not as flashy as some of their high-tier models, but for less than 300 dollars, it is an absolute steal! ... show more

    • Excellent set-up by dealer or factory
Color: Blackberry Sunburst
I ordered an Ibanez RG421 from GearTree after playing a friend's. It arrived on time and well-packaged. I was surprised to find that it was expertly set up, either at the Indonesian factory by "T-1" or at GearTree. The low "E" string height was at 1.5 mm at the 12th fret, and the high "e" was at 1.25 mm, perfect for my playing style. The intonation is as close to perfect as you can hope for, and it plays loud and clear. I am happy with GearTree and will buy from them again. I recommend GearTree to anyone looking for quality, value, and fast shipping. ... show more

    • It's better than you think!

Straight out the box it felt like the fretboard and strings were "dry", kinda like rusted strings.. But after a few mins of play it felt normal.. Idk, maybe it was just me looking for something to be picky about considering it's a cheap guitar. My PRS is still my go to, but for the price this is a great go to if you need an extra guitar to avoid tuning on stage. Also, moms and dads, this is definitely a great starting point for beginners! With a good set up it can feel like a much higher quality product for a much lower price. And when the time is right, for any player, instead of buying a new guitar you can drop in new pickups to upgrade! As far as this seller goes, I'm actually impressed. And I'm hard to impress.. They shipped my order almost immediately and it arrived a day early. The impressive part was, I had a question so I emailed them.. They actually responded!! And you could tell it wasn't automated!! So yes, I would recommend this product, and I would recommend this seller! ... show more
