The EXB404 features a (very similar RG shape) double-cutaway basswood body bolted to a maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with white dot position markers, white side dots and a black headstock. Components includes Powersound pickups (P/J) configuration, an standard fixed bridge with 19mm string spacing, a grahite nut, chrome hardware and Ibanez die-cast tuning machines.

The wood used for the body of the EXB404 has undergone many changes over the years: From 1989 to 1990 the US market used Basswood, the rest of the world used Jelutong, For 1991 Agathis was the option. From 1992 until 1995 Ligth maple ( or light american maple ) was used.

The EXB404 was discontinued after 1995.
