Attention metalheads -- are you ready to destroy? Unleash some heavy-duty tone, courtesy of a pair of Ibanez Elite humbuckers on a dangerous mahogany body.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Mahogany body and neck Rich, warm tone with focused midrange
Ibanez Classic Elite pickups Medium-level output, warm tonality
Set-neck construction Solid joinery for great sustain and feel
Tune-o-matic bridge Adjustable action and precise intonation

Expect a power surge! Ibanez warns, about plugging in this Destroyer. Don't dare call it a re-issue, because at Ibanez, the tweaking never stops. The body and neck of both guitars are made of a tight Mahogany for maximum resonance. The bound Rosewood fingerboard is adorned with smart Pearl/ Abalone block inlay and Jumbo frets. The DT420 features the sonic pyrotechnics of Ibanez proprietary Classic Elite humbuckers that deliver a range of tones from clean to crushing beyond anything in its price category. This grand exercise in rock n' roll extroversion features a luscious Transparent Cherry finish with handsome contrasting white body binding.

Strap one on and find out why they call it The Destroyer!

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I will probably keep this guitar for a very very long time. Though it could be slightly modified with more pickups or the likes, it is quite sufficient as is.

Sound
this guitar has got a great sound, it can be used to play almost any type of thing fairly efficiently.

Features
this guitar is quite simple but at the same time very intense, with two humbucked pick ups you can produce a wide variety or sounds. Though the guitar does not come in my favored color, it has an awesome shape and the fret board is very easy to move around on. To those of you who do not enjoy having a whammy bar this is a good guitar it has a nice hard tail very easy to string.

Quality
The quality of this product is very high, obviously not one of the lower Ibanez's. there are no loose parts or anything of the sort, the whole guitar seems stable as if it were all one piece. the finish is very good and would not wear off even in the intensist playing very light durably body, though it may not keep a note for the longest amount of time it is very easy to wield.

Value
This guitar is well worth the price, probably more than that, but Ibanez always has a low price for a better guitar.

Manufacturer Support
I have not contacted the company, because there has not been one flaw with this guitar.

The Wow Factor
this has got a great read more shape tha caught my eye from the beginning, at first you may think it was designed for looks not ability but that thought is quickly thrown out the moment you play it. Though some of the earlier models of the DT class only come in apple red, which in my opinion is not attractive, it makes up for it with everything else.
