The Ibanez Standard RG420EX-BKF Black Flat is a workhorse tuned for metal from head to toe, which is clearly designed for driving riffs and neat shredding, both visually and sonically. The 6-string electric guitar with its elegant matt black look is based on the RG design, which is extremely popular among fans of the heavier genre, and comes with some interesting appointments: two powerful humbuckers for first-class metal sounds and, of course, a particularly slim neck, which is also available for more technically demanding fretboard action.

The RG body of the Ibanez Standard RG420EX-BKF Black Flat is made of resonant meranti with classic pointed contours and a wide Cutaways range and always offers a comfortable playing position, even on longer sessions, thanks to the generous tummy cut and a practical forearm contour. For the fretting hand, on the other hand, the maple Wizard III neck offers unhindered playability, which is in no way restricted thanks to the proven Ibanez All-Access Neck Joint, even when playing in the highest fingerboard positions.

The two Ibanez Quantum humbuckers are responsible for the sound of the Ibanez Standard RG420EX-BKF Black Flat and produce a powerful sound that really comes into its own in the high gain range. However, the fact that the Ibanez Standard RG420EX-BKF Black Flat is also capable of covering other sound requirements without any problems is proven by its versatile circuitry, which is equipped with a pickup selector switch with five positions and offers particularly interesting switching options including parallel switching of the neck humbucker.

Fans of breathtaking lead techniques in particular will have a lot of fun with the Ibanez Edge-Zero II tremolo. The tremolo system with its double-locking design offers some welcome improvements over its predecessor and impresses with its extremely reliable operation and indestructible tuning stability. The Ibanez Standard RG420EX-BKF Black Flat is completed by six die-cast tuners and visually appealing dome poti caps in a uniform black finish.
