Ibanez RG420EG-SBK: The Test

It’s already been 25 years. You wouldn’t think so, but the RG model from our Japanese friends, Ibanez, first appeared a quarter of a century ago, and has since made its way into the Metal and shredder guitar hall of fame. Read more…

    CF: + Site Reviews previous manufacturer.
    mike: nice but not good enough.
    violin: basswood, linden an impact on the sound that I find quite positive.
    Handle: Fragile at the head, this type of problem is common among ibz.

    UTILIZATION

    I thoroughly hacked this ibanez, in its original form, the guitar like a guitar that has enough midrange RG. Ibanez offers the same features for all these mid-range guitars. Basswood body, Wizard II neck, Edge III tremolo.
    To be clear, all the ibanez midrange that this floating tremolo that I personally blocked because it floats floating tremolo just too ... Nothing like a high quality FR tremolo, vibrato, this is either to change or to block.…

    To be clear, all the ibanez midrange that this floating tremolo that I personally blocked because it floats floating tremolo just too ... Nothing like a high quality FR tremolo, vibrato, this is either to change or to block. after one song you will find yourself completely out of tune without it.
    Micro: Yeah, good for young lovers, with respect to the scene, these micro are really not up to standard.
    This guitar is too expensive given the basic performance, I personally changed my set of microwave for a emg 81 in bridge.
    I keep this guitar for its looks and the performance after the changes made.
    handle me was a problem, handle the type ibanez wizard presents a fragility at the head (mountain-shaped crack or break).
    That said, this race is to play well enough all that is the domain of neoclassical.
    ibanez hard to make a proper mid-range to our regret.

    SOUNDS

    I like the guitar level changes, emg 81 for me (great admirer of the firm), blocked tremolo. I love playing this guitar that is not so bad at violin.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for two years, I think I made a mistake of acquisition, but once changed, it is still practical.

    This Ibanez RG420EG sbk was manufactured in Indonesia, is a 24 fret (without access to acute difficulty) with 2 humbuckers an ibanez v7 and v8. A bridge type Floyd (ibanez edge) of excellent quality by the way, the neck is maple with shark teeth embedded hyper end. It has a 5 position switch and a volume knob and a tone. It is also of course say that the body is made of wood (obviously) but kelle is covered with a granular material (some say it's one I can not find plastic at all, but rather a stone effect, very nice:)). With a body carved in the shape of spider. LOCK SUPER!

With a body carved in the shape of spider. LOCK SUPER!

    UTILIZATION

    The handle end is super, a real highway, it is easy, nothing good to say. The access is very very sharp draw sheet access to the hoop 24 without any difficulty. The shape is kind of ibanez rg home quite so simple, that I like personally, weight is normal I would say 4 or 5 kg of an eye saw. Ah, now at its beh is just wonderful, I plugged in and then magically overpowered her, I immediately played a riff and I was not expecting such good quality sound. The bridge pickup and neck are as good, powerful and not particularly rough. I also wanted to say that it is impossible passage tune! Once the block string guitar tuned and tight, you give good blows huge vibrato I assure you it does not move a hair!! my tuner and my ear to prove it! Any person who will tell you that go out of tune easily ibanez is totally false! is that they simply forgot to tighten the strings block ^ ^.

    SOUNDS

    I mainly play hard-rock/métal, iron maiden, ac / dc, metallica or van halen and it should be quite my style of play that is to say a big sound and tapping roaring OWN! But I was pleasantly surprised by the versatility of this guitar because its clear she remains as clean and accurate ibanez bravo! I play on a small 15 watt marshall and usually with my rockman sustainor accompanied by my mxr equalizer and then the sound is really great. I also have a digitech grunge home and a mxr distortion + and a cry baby and finally a multi purpose kord AX3G (for clean sounds, delay, chorus, flanger ..) What I like in it 's is the lock and handle very nice. I love the sound it gives off on solos dave murray eddie van halen or (a lot of tapping) and I do not hate her.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had it one month so it is still quite new and I'm extremely satisfied. I have an aria pro 2 sl, which is not bad at all and that sounds good too (which dates from 1988). I also tried Les Pauls or SG but I wanted a guitar with floyd rose for solos eddie van halen and Kirk Hammett and the floyd rose is good quality spare parts since we still finds 180 € y 'for sure schaller to 250 € but ... It is found at 450 € new 400 see what makes a quality / price excellent! I remake this choice with your eyes closed!
