The RG420 is a Roadstar II series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1986. The Roadstar II series would eventually become known as the RG series.
The RG420 is one of only a few RG models produced with a 22-fret neck. It has the sharp-edged body style which distinguishes it from the older Roadstar II body.
The RG420 features a basswood body bolted to a maple neck with a 22-fret fingerboard with dot inlays. Components include dual Ibanez humbucking pickups mounted in pickup rings at the bridge and neck with coil-split Duo Sound functionality and an Edge double locking tremolo bridge with a locking nut.
The 1986 RG420 has the original swoopy Roadstar II headstock shape and the headstock is painted to match the body. For 1987 it gets a black headstock in the new, pointier RG-style shape.
The RG410 is a similar model with a single humbucker. The RG425 is another similar model with the two humbuckers mounted side-by-side near the bridge.
The RG420 was discontinued after 1987.
