Description
The Ibanez XPT420DX brings back the legendary Xiphos shape in the revamped Iron Label series, and it's built for players who want serious metal tone with the aggressive look to match. This one's for shredders and rhythm players who need a guitar that can handle fast, technical passages while delivering the visual impact that only the Xiphos silhouette can provide. If you've been waiting for Ibanez to bring this iconic shape back, this is your chance to get one with modern appointments and reliable hardware.
The Wizard III neck is where this guitar really shines-it's a five-piece maple and walnut construction that stays flat, fast, and stable under heavy playing. Those jumbo frets make single-note runs and bends feel effortless, while the rosewood fretboard adds focused midrange warmth to balance out the brightness from the okoume wing body. The Quantum humbuckers are designed specifically for metal, with quick low-end response that keeps fast passages clear and defined, plus a full-bodied mid-to-high range that cuts through heavy mixes without getting harsh.
The Edge-Zero II tremolo is a lower-profile design that won't get in your way during aggressive playing, and the stud lock function keeps your tuning stable even with heavy whammy work. We've found these Iron Label guitars to be well-built and reliable-the five-piece neck construction adds serious strength, and everything feels solid and ready for regular gigging. It comes with a fitted Ibanez gig bag, so you're covered for transport right out of the gate.
