Model overview
The true strength of the Ibanez RGRT421 WK lies in its no-nonsense design, choosing tried and tested solutions refined to deliver the best player experience. The moment you pick it up, you can feel it's been built to be played — not just admired as a decorative object. The neck-through construction not only improves tuning stability but also provides total freedom for soloing at higher positions. The neck feels fast and fluid under the fingers, while the Wizard III profile makes complex passages much easier to execute.
The Quantum pickups at the bridge and neck deliver a sharp, immediate attack without sacrificing definition, even under heavy gain. They pair exceptionally well with modern effects pedals and processing units. Whether you’re laying down tight rhythm sections or building atmospheric clean passages, the tonal range on offer will keep you inspired. The five-way selector switch adds even more versatility, pushing your sound beyond the standard palette.
The mahogany body adds depth, warmth and a firm low-mid foundation to your tone. Despite this, the guitar remains lightweight and superbly balanced, meaning you can play for long sessions while standing without fatigue. The black hardware is subtle yet stylish, complementing the overall aesthetic without distraction.
Who is this guitar for?

At the same time, experienced players will find it more than capable of delivering under pressure: a reliable workhorse that excels both on stage and in the studio with a proven blend of stability and versatility. Composers and arrangers will value its tonal flexibility, with the pickup switching and subtle adjustments offering an array of distinct soundscapes.
