Ibanez RG421 Maple Fretboard in Blue Moon Burst

Blue

Blue guitars have a cool, confident presence that stands out without being too flashy. Whether it’s a deep midnight blue, a bright metallic finish, or a vintage pastel hue, a blue guitar often strikes the perfect balance between classic and modern. Many players are drawn to blue for its calming vibe and stage-ready aesthetic—it can feel soulful, moody, or edgy depending on the shade and style. It’s a colour that turns heads without shouting, making it a favourite for those who like to express a bit of personality through their gear.

Burst

A burst guitar finish is one of the most iconic and visually striking styles in the guitar world. Characterised by a gradient that fades from a rich colour at the edges to a lighter centre—like sunburst, cherry burst, or tobacco burst—it highlights the natural beauty of the wood underneath. Originally made famous by classic Gibson models in the 1950s, burst finishes evoke a sense of vintage charm and rock ‘n’ roll heritage. Each burst is slightly different, giving the guitar a unique personality that ages beautifully over time.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibrations into an electrical signal, which is then amplified. Unlike acoustic guitars, they rely on amplification for volume and tone shaping, making them highly versatile in genres like rock, blues, jazz, and metal. Electric guitars come in many body styles—solid, semi-hollow, and hollow—and feature different pickup configurations, neck types, and hardware. From smooth clean tones to aggressive distortion, they offer a wide sonic range, making them the backbone of modern guitar music.

Maple

Maple is a popular tonewood used in the construction of guitar necks, fretboards, and bodies. Known for its bright, clear sound with strong attack and sustain, maple adds definition and snap to your tone. It’s also prized for its durability and smooth playing feel. Visually, maple often features a light, attractive grain and can be finished in various ways to highlight its natural beauty. Many iconic guitars use maple components to achieve that classic, vibrant sound.

About Ibanez

We have new and used Ibanez musical equipment available on our website for fast direct delivery from sellers across the UK & Europe.

The Hoshino Gakki company began in 1908 as the musical instrument sales division of the Hoshino Shoten, a bookstore chain. Hoshino Gakki decided in 1935 to make Spanish-style acoustic guitars, at first using the “Ibanez Salvador” brand name in honor of Spanish luthier Salvador Ibáñez, and later simply “Ibanez”.

In the 1970s, the Nisshin Onpa company who owned the Maxon brand name, developed and began selling a series of effect pedals in Japan. Hoshino Gakki licensed these for sale using the name Ibanez outside Japan. These two companies eventually began doing less and less business together until Nisshin Onpa ceased manufacturing the TS-9 reissue for Hoshino Gakki in 2002.
