Ibanez High Performance RG421HPFM-BRG Blue Reef Gradation
Product no: 9000-0059-0199 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The Ibanez RG421HPFM-BRG Blue Reef Gradation from the High Performance Series has as much visual impact as it does sonic. The nyatoh body is finished with a flamed-maple top while contrast is struck by a gold-plated bridge and choral-cream coloured pickups. Mounted with the renowned DiMarzio 'The Tone Zone' and Air Norton pickups, as well as a coil-tap switch, the tone of the Blue Reef is incredibly adaptable and wide ranging.

The RG421HPFM: An Uber-Fast Neck

This RG has been fitted with a Wizard III-profile maple neck complete with flat 15.75-inch fretboard radius. Add the 24 frets, and you get an instrument with an incredible level of fast, supple playability. Tasty details like the luminescent side dots are appreciated and the fixed F106 bridge ensures solid tuning stability and outstanding sustain, revealing just how much time and thought Ibanez has devoted to this model.

Wrote the following about Ibanez High Performance RG421HPFM-BRG Blue Reef Gradation

I'll be straight-up honest, I was looking for a Sterling St Vincent when I came into some money recently but couldn't find one cheap & I happened to chance upon this somehow. It was 'Wow!' at first sight. You know sometimes in life you see a guitar & just know you have to get it? That's how it was for me with this. I did a little research but there wasn't many reviews out there but I just pulled the trigger & bought it anyway. One of my best guitar-based decisions. It's a pleasure to play, with a lovely smooth action that needed the barest of adjustments out of the box (2 strings needed intonation). Its sound is incredible & the pickups are super responsive. I don't play a myriad of styles but I imagine this could handle pretty much anything. I find myself finding any excuse to pick it up & play, which is thankfully often. That St Vincent is going to have to wait a while.

Heel blij met deze gitaar. Hij speelt lekker en heeft een goede sound. Ook vind ik dat hij in het echt nog mooier is dan op de foto's.
