1 year in with it and i love it! I am about to switch pickups for EMG's 81/85. Your video made me buy it and it's excellent for my first guitar. I think i will upgrade to a more expensive one in a year or so, but for a beginner like me this was an excellent choice. Thanks!
this vid is helping me. i bought this RG421ex and i dont regret even abit now. i play different songs and tunes so this guitar helps and very versatile. thanks dude!
@@Roomy_21 well if you dont use tremolo and play with different tunes, go for it. definitely cheaper, more versatile, good Quantum pickups. (my another guitar is RG350dx with INF pickups, and its so metal). with fender champion amp, zoom multieffect and neck pickup, i can get that fenderisque tone :D
Great demo! I love my RG. Definitely the best quality and playability for the money in my opinion I understand not everyone's cup of tea, but the neck is the best I have ever played.
@@idontgivea1769 the action si low and there is absoluyely no fret buzz. it can take any kind of setup and it's very comfortable to play. def recommend it
just got the rg 421 pfm and i already love this guitar! It plays so well und the satinneck feels insane! the picks are perfect for metal and rock, i prefer blues and hardrock and it also works with so many more styles. i just wish ibanez would have used lockings and a graph nut. i would pay these maybe 40 - 50 bucks more. then it would be just perfect! great demo, thy dude
Amazing demo! 🎸 I'm playing for half a year with the Squier stratocaster from Fender, I would love to buy a new one. Do you think this one is better? Or do you recommend another guitar?
Have you checked on it? Im currently thinking of buying the rgrt 421 and if i look up the facts it seems hes blatantly lying about the materials of this omg 300£ guitar
Hey man, gotta give it to you, awesome review. I bought the same guitar after your review. I have some questions, is what you're playing a song or just something you came up with for the review? If it's yours then what did you use to create that metal mix? Also, what's that compression you mention at some point? and lastly, are you on standard tuning or otherwise? thanks in advance :)
Thank you! Have fun with the guitar. :) The song is something which I came up with for this review, however I have used it in another more recent review as it covers all the main tones which I'd want to hear in a review. If I remember correctly, I used drop D for this song. I can't remember exactly what I used to mix it. If its any use, I could do a video at some point explaining it if that would be useful?
Dan Cole Guitar I see. Sadly I can't play her yet, she's waiting for me back home. I must admit I'd find such a video interesting since I'm new to this, but I wouldn't want you to get in such a trouble unless you were planning on making it at some point anyway. Cheers ☺
Hey, just letting you know that I've filmed the explanation of how I mix these review songs. Should have it edited and uploaded in the next couple of days. :)
@@paulstanley88 im looking to start playing guitar and thinking of getting this one . Im not sure what amp to get with it tho as almost all my budget would be going on my guitar
hey man...i am from Indonesia...south of asia...the place they made thats your ibanez Rg 421 .I have ones to...its great guitar..its simple guitar.. becouse the fixed bridge...but the picup must changing, use Dimarzio Evolution or Tone Zone or the Paffpro...you will get the amazing rock sound.
Bro, can you send me the Tabs from the part you are playing starting around 2:16? I also like the main riff ... Since i bought just this guitar a few days ago i would love to play this ... Maybe i can help me out! Thanks in advance and great work!
Hi, boys. I am gonna buy this guitar as my first. Could you please recommend some good amplifiers for it around $150-200, maybe a bit more or less, doesn't matter. I am gonna use it at home and I only need heavy distortion sound, with no any other effects or with minimum of them. I found Marshall Mg15cf, but i am not sure if it's really good. Waiting for your responses. Thanks in advance.
it sounds really sick buddy. subscribed. i really liked it's tone in stereo mode. by the way could you please tell me about your signal chain and rig details. thanks in advance. keep rocking.
Don't quote me on this but I think the last letters on the Ibanez models usually stand for the finish or type of bridge. FM =Flamed Maple, FR= Floyd Rose etc.
Right, so I'm at a loss for what to do. I have £350 to find a guitar that will be easy to mix with. I currently have a shitty £100 discontinued Flying V from an obscure company and no matter how much EQing, compression, or mixing I do, it sounds like complete trash lmao. I'm trying to decide between this guitar and the Schecter Omen 6. Can you honestly say that this guitar is worth the price?
Pulse/Krilium From my experience. You can't go wrong with this guitar. It's 100% worth the money and I personally have not found any downsides to it. Playability wise it plays like a dream and the sound I really like. If you have any questions. Please reply to this and I'll get back to you
Pulse/Krilium - I can't speak for the Schecter Omen as I haven't tried it, but I can say that the RG421 is a great guitar to play. I have one in white and it feels very easy to play. Build quality is excellent and although lots of people change the pups, I love the Quantums as there is so much tonal variety. Your budget of £350 is enough to buy the RG in weathered black (£249), white (£275) or flat black (£299) and still have change for an overdrive pedal. (All prices from Andertons).
I have an Omen 6. It's a decent guitar. Stock pickups are alright, I had those changed and I'm very happy with it. You should be able to find a cheaper second hand one, and have some money for some Irongear pickups.
They are great for metal but if you want some djenty stuff or some extra chugging i would recommend to change the bridge pickup with a seymour duncan or something similar

I love your camo trousers where do i buy them? Love this guitar getting one lol
I got this because of this video. Ibanez should pay you
I will happily accept free guitars
Dan Cole Anywhere I can find the tabs for your guitar demo tune? I like the sound of it
How is the fret buzz and tuning stability ? Can it handle thicker strings for lower tunings ? ( like 12/13s for B tuning )
Idk man,you could probably do it but at that low tuning ,a 7 or 8 string might fit your style more...
What amp are you using? :)

Can we do coil splitting in this guitar...I want a HHS configuration

Is there a difference between this and the regular RG421's please?
and RG421FM?
I don't think so, it's just the asthetics and colour that's different

there is no guitars for beginners or pro's. Good guitars or bad;) This is a very good guitar.
