Pure Performance. No Frills. The Ibanez RG421DX.
Experience the legendary speed of the RG series in a hardtail design built for rock-solid stability and aggressive modern tone.
The Ultimate High-Octane Workhorse The Ibanez RG421DX is designed for the player who wants the iconic RG "shredder" experience without the complexity of a tremolo system. Built around a resonant Meranti body, this guitar features the ultra-slim Wizard III Maple neck—the gold standard for fast, technical playing.
Equipped with a pair of high-output Quantum humbuckers, the RG421DX delivers a tight low-end response and crushing mids, making it perfect for down-tuned metal and high-gain rock. Whether you’re tracking in the studio or performing on stage, the F106 fixed bridge ensures maximum sustain and effortless tuning stability, letting you focus entirely on your performance.
Built for Speed & Precision
Three decades of metal heritage have been distilled into the RG Standard series. The RG421DX offers the perfect balance of "Standard" line affordability and professional-grade playability. With its 5-way switching system, you can move from bone-crushing bridge humbucker tones to glassy, single-coil-like cleans in an instant, making it one of the most versatile fixed-bridge guitars in its class.
