    Ibanez Xiphos XPT420 Electric Guitar

    The legend has officially clawed its way back from the abyss. The Ibanez Xiphos XPT420 represents a brutal, beautiful new beginning for the fiercely revered Iron Label series.

    Long demanded by metal purists and shred fanatics alike, the Xiphos returns with a vengeance, wielding its iconic, aggressive angles and unapologetic attitude. This isn't just a guitar; it’s a dedicated weapon for the heavy music player. By resurrecting this fan favorite alongside the classic Iceman, Ibanez solidifies its commitment to the metal genre.

    A Neck Built for Speed and Aggression

    To play fast, you need a foundation that refuses to fight your fingers. The XPT420 delivers an undeniably slick experience courtesy of the legendary Wizard III neck profile. It’s devastatingly thin, frighteningly flat, and built for players who want to push their physical limits. Combine that with a dark, dense rosewood fretboard and giant jumbo frets, and you have a runway that practically begs for sweeping arpeggios and lightning-fast legato runs.

    • Wizard III 5-Piece Neck: A rock-solid maple and walnut construction offering a thin, flat profile for unlimited, effortless playability across all two octaves.
    • Rosewood Fretboard: Delivers a beautifully balanced, solid tone with a highly focused mid-range that cuts right through the heaviest of mixes.
    • Jumbo Frets: Massive fret wire provides buttery smooth playability, making massive bends and rapid single-note playing easier than ever.

    Brutal Tone, Precision Attack

    Heavy music demands a delicate balance — a tightrope walk between crushing weight and surgical clarity. The foundation of this furious tone is a lightweight yet resonant Okoume wing body, providing a bright, solid acoustic punch. But the real magic happens when that acoustic resonance slams into the high-output Quantum humbuckers. These pickups are precision-engineered to track rapid-fire staccato riffs, so your low-end never turns into a muddy, undefined mess.

    • Okoume Wing Body: Carved into the radical Xiphos shape, this tonewood yields a bright, solid acoustic foundation with plenty of natural sustain.
    • Quantum H-H Pickups: High-output humbuckers designed for modern metal, delivering a full-bodied mid-to-high range with razor-sharp articulation.
    • Quick Low-End Response: Perfectly calibrated to capture lightning-fast palm-muted passages with precise, punchy note definition.

    Ibanez Xiphos XPT420 Dive Bomb with Total Confidence

    Dive Bomb with Total Confidence

    An aggressive guitar demands hardware that can take a beating. When you’re dropping pitch harmonics or pulling up for piercing squeals, the Edge-Zero II tremolo system has your back. It's engineered with a lower profile to keep your picking hand comfortable, while advanced locking mechanisms ensure your tuning remains fiercely stable. Plus, hauling this beast to your next gig is easy, thanks to the included custom-fitted gig bag.

    • Edge-Zero II Tremolo: A low-profile double-locking bridge that maximizes playing comfort while allowing for extreme pitch gymnastics.
    • Stud Lock Function: Secures the bridge posts tightly to the body, ensuring rock-solid tuning stability no matter how hard you abuse the whammy bar.
    • Custom Gig Bag Included: A specially designed Ibanez gig bag perfectly accommodates the extreme Xiphos shape, keeping your instrument safe on the road.

    A Titan Returns

    The Ibanez Xiphos XPT420 is a masterclass in modern metal guitar design. By blending aggressive aesthetics with high-performance hardware and searing pickups, Ibanez has successfully resurrected a titan of the Iron Label series. It captures the dark soul of heavy music while offering the meticulous playability today's technical players require.
