Ibanez RG321E Review

The Ibanez RG321E is a gorgeous electric guitar with a mahogany body and three-piece maple bolt-on neck. The instrument’s black chrome hardware is accented with a rosewood fingerboard that is bound and features 24 jumbo frets and pearl dot inlays. Also made of black chrome is the guitar’s Gibraltar Standard bridge (fixed) and die cast turners. The Ibanez RG321E guitar comes with the following controls; a five-way pickup selector switch, Master tone and Master volume.

This guitar is built for metal music. Musicians in this genre will find that it allows them to play with both power and punch, a prerequisite for authentic metal play. The tones are clean which makes for dynamic sound. The RG321E has a Wizard II profile neck, a Gibraltar bridge and a scale length of 25 1/2′.” The neck pickup is an EMG H4A humbucker, which allows musicians to achieve a sound that is well-balanced with nice bass, strong mids and powerful highs. An in-your-face tone that heavy metal players love is the result.

The guitar’s mahogany body allows for a sound that is ideal for metal rockers, full and clear. The use of this particular wood, instead of what Ibanez guitars are normally crafted from, basswood, gives off a sound that is different from what musicians who play the Ibanez are probably used to. This isn’t a knock. Mahogany gives off a great sound as well. It’s just different.

The Ibanez RG321E Guitar is a quality one. It’s a terrific instrument for individuals looking for a nice but affordable guitar. It won’t break the bank, which is good. Depending on where one looks online, the RG321E can be purchased for around $300. Please note, even though this Ibanez isn’t extravagantly priced, it still provides a rich, heavy and robust sound, which is ideal for those who wish to play metal music. Some even argue that it is the quintessential metal guitar in its price range.

Musicians interested in a sturdy guitar that can withstand hard licks and aggressive play will love the Ibanez RG321E. It’s tough, sleek looking and has the potential to deliver heavy but clean tones. It can stand up to the abuse that is required to play heavy metal music well. Individuals looking for a quality guitar at a price that is affordable would be wise to consider the Ibanez RG321E. It’s a very good instrument, perfect for metal heads and hard rockers.
