The Xiphos: an extreme silhouette designed for metal performance
With the XPT420DX, Ibanez brings back the Xiphos design, crafted for guitarists who want as much visual presence as playing efficiency. Its focus is clear: luthiery oriented towards speed, uncompromising ergonomics, and gear ready for stable tuning and modern saturated tones, equally comfortable in studio and live settings.
A guitar for shred, modern metal, and demanding stages
This electric guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a thin neck, easy access to 24 frets, and reliable tuning stability with vibrato. Perfect for metal, metalcore, modern death metal, prog, and shred, it responds very well to tight palm mutes, fast alternate picking, and expressive leads, while remaining clear at high gain levels.
Sound
The H-H Quantum configuration (passive/ceramic) emphasizes precision: the attack is clear, the low end remains responsive, and the highs retain definition to cut through the mix. The 3-way selector allows instant switching from a massive rhythm to a rounder neck pickup tone for solos, while the volume and tone controls refine the saturation level and overall balance. On the luthiery side, okoumé provides lively mids and the neck-through construction enhances sustain and projection, a real advantage for sustained notes and upper fretboard passages.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original feel and balance, choose a string set in gauge .009-.042. Any standard guitar strap is compatible with the original strap buttons.
