Description

Ibanez produced the RG421MSPTSP as part of the RG Series, positioning it as a solidbody electric built around the fast, slim profile the RG line was known for. The model carried a Turquoise Sparkle finish and was equipped with a Meranti body paired with a Wizard III Maple neck and a Maple fretboard with black dot inlays.

The guitar featured 24 jumbo frets on a fretboard with a 400mm radius, a 648mm (25.5") scale length, and a nut width of 43mm tapering to 58mm at the 24th fret. Neck thickness measured 19mm at the first fret and 21mm at the twelfth. The F106 bridge was set to a 10.5mm string spacing. Two passive, ceramic-magnet Quantum humbuckers handled pickup duties at the neck and bridge positions. Hardware throughout was finished in Cosmo black. The guitar left the factory strung with D'Addario EXL110s (.010–.046) in standard E tuning.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — including bridge saddles compatible with the F106, or pickups matching the Quantum humbucker routing — are advised to consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier who can verify fit against the original specifications.

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
