I’m offering a 2002 Ibanez RG420GK-BK, made in Japan (FujiGen Factory) – a truly rare and exceptional model in the RG series.
This guitar is one of the few Ibanez instruments factory-equipped with the Roland GK-2A system, allowing direct 13-pin connection to Roland/BOSS devices (such as GR-33, VG-88, or SY-1000) without needing any external pickup installation.
In addition, it features a professionally installed set of EMG 81 (bridge) and EMG 85 (neck) pickups, delivering powerful, articulate, and noise-free tone – ideal for rock, metal, and modern studio recording.
