The RG420RW is an RG series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2015. It was produced in Indonesia. It replaced an earlier model with the same name which has different pickups and a different bridge.

The RG420RW features a rosewood top on a mahogany body bolted to a maple Wizard III neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with white dot position markers. Components include a standard double locking tremolo bridge and dual Ibanez Quantum humbucking pickups.

The RG420, which was introduced for 2016, is a similar model without the exotic rosewood top. The RG421RW is a similar model with a fixed bridge.

The RG420RW was discontinued after 2016.
