Ibanez RGRT420-WK RG Series Electric Guitar in Weathered Black

The Ibanez RGRT420-WK is a solid-body electric guitar from the iconic RG series, finished in a distinctive Weathered Black satin polyurethane. Designed primarily for rock and metal genres, it features a neck-through construction that enhances sustain and provides excellent access to the upper frets. The guitar is built around a Nyatoh wing body, which contributes to a rich mid-low frequency response, making it particularly suited to heavy riffing and articulate lead playing. Key features include the thin, fast Wizard III neck made from a 5-piece maple and walnut laminate, offering stability and a comfortable playing feel. The 24-fret jatoba fingerboard has a 400mm (15.75-inch) radius and jumbo frets for easy bending and vibrato. It is equipped with a pair of passive Quantum ceramic humbucking pickups, delivering a powerful output with enhanced bass response, crushing mid-range, and clear high-end articulation. The hardware includes an Edge-Zero II tremolo bridge with a stud lock function for improved tuning stability and a lower profile for playing comfort, complemented by locking tuners. This guitar is an excellent choice for intermediate to advanced players seeking a dedicated instrument for modern rock and metal. The combination of its ergonomic RG body shape, versatile 5-way pickup selector switch, and robust build makes it a reliable workhorse for both studio recording and live performance. The satin finish on the neck promotes fast hand movement, while the overall design prioritises playability and tonal precision across its full 25.5-inch scale length.
