Ibanez RGA42FM: Stylish look, high playing comfort
The Ibanez Standard RGA42FM skilfully combines a chic look with contemporary gaming comfort. The slim Meranti body, for example, has a top made of flamed Maple, the intense grain is accentuated by the transparent finish. The wide cutaways also allow unhindered access to the high registers of the bolt-on Maple neck, which has been kept in the extremely fast "Wizard III" profile, thereby providing the ideal basis for complex riffs and virtuoso solos.
Ibanez Quantum Humbucker for differentiated sounds
The Ibanez Standard Standard RGA42FM-TGF Transparent Gray Flat uses two Ibanez Quantum Humbuckers in the neck and bridge position as pickups. Equipped with powerful ceramic magnets, these pickups deliver differentiated sounds for modern rock and metal that don't lose their shape even during drop tuning. The bridge humbucker impresses with its aggressive sound, with a laser focused mid-spectrum in the band sound, while the neck pickup lets every note sing with smooth sustain. The pickups are managed by a 3-way blade switch and master volume and master tone controls.
Ibanez hardware for unlimited playing pleasure
High-quality hardware equipment, which guarantees an unlimited playing joy, completes the Ibanez Standard RGA42FM. Accordingly, the Ibanez Fixed Bridge sits on the body, which supports a fast attack with the string guide through the body. In addition, six individually adjustable string saddles guarantee a perfectly adjusted intonation and a comfortable string action. From the bridge, the strings with 25.5" scale length (648 mm) are guided towards the headstock, where Ibanez tuners ensure a precise and stable tuning of the electric guitar.
The Ibanez Standard RGA42FM-TGF Transparent Gray Flat at a glance:
The guitar is well built as expected from Ibanez, i tried a few models and decided on an RGA, mostly because i like the arch top, i dont like the hard edges of the RG models and while the body shape of the S series fits me well and the hardwars is much the same , the S series guitars are super thin..... This particular guitar i had to return as there is a tiny dent on the neck by the first fret but there models are mass produced so somtimes a few small imperfections slip through the net..... i must say the guitar was very well 'set up' and played great out of the box. To be honest i have not plugged it into an amp as i am returning it so didn't wan't to remove the plastic covering the pickups so i cannot review the sound but i gave 5 stars anyway because it's an Ibanez! There is one small 'smudge' on the front so i gave 4 stars for 'optic'.... The guitar is well made and other than the tiny dent on the neck
