IBANEZ Standard RG421-PFM Pearl Black Fade Metallic
Ibanez Standard RG electric guitar with two Quantum humbuckers and Wizard III maple neck
Razor-sharp body contours and wide ergonomic cuts: for decades, the RG from Ibanez has been regarded as the powerful and agile workhorse of modern metal. With the Ibanez Standard RG421-PFM Pearl Black Fade Metallic, the quality company now offers a model from the Standard series with a meranti body and solid hardware at an unbeatable price! The Ibanez Quantum humbuckers provide a convincingly powerful and dense high-gain sound without compressing too much and are perfectly suited for blues rock through to metal. On the hardware side, an Ibanez fixed bridge and encapsulated tuners are used for stage-ready performance.

Ibanez Standard RG421-PFM Pearl Black Fade Metallic
This guitar has a nice pitch and a wonderful playability, it is light, comes with a very fast slim neck and yes, i love the body and woods chosen. In my opinion, the pickups are decent and this is all you need in order to achieve wonderful results on a studio.

Best price, and guitar was set up ready to play out of the b
Superbly packaged guitar, which was neatly packed with some other products I purchased at the same time. Delivery was very fast and I received emails telling me the day it would be delivered which was useful.
Very happy with the guitar - It had a hand signed signature saying that it had received a set up by staff prior to dispatch. The intonation was spot on out of the box. This store also offered the guitar at the most competitive price I could find online. Great service, have saved to my favourites for my next guitar related purchase. Thank you!

If you’re looking for an entry level guitar that looks the business and sounds great, then look no further. For the price you’re getting a guitar that looks and sounds more expensive. Visually the matte finish and crimson fade look flawless. The pickups are surprisingly good, definitely better than expected, this guitar practically begs you to shred until your fingers drop off. At this price point you expect some compromises, the nut is cheap plastic, and the pickups can sound a bit muddy / lacking in character. In my opinion any beginner would feel satisfied with this guitar, and when you outgrow it, could make a good base for modding, I’ve got my eyes on a GraphTek nut and bare knuckle passive pickups!
