Ibanez RGA-42HTP High Performance Tone
Ibanez teamed up with DiMarzio and equipped the RGA with their Fusion Edge pickups. These pups deliver a powerful and distinct sound with a crisp, cutting high end, and tight low-end for an aggressive tone. The three-way switch and coil tap maximize the tonal possibilities even further.
Ibanez RGA-42HTP High Performance Feel
The RGA's C-shaped neck profile and 9.5 radius fingerboard make scale runs and chords an easy task. You'll also get narrow-tall frets, perfect for those low-end chuggs. The Floyd Rose system remains stable throughout play, and intonation was never an issue. Dive-bomb and flutter to your hearts content!
Why We Like It
Despite its flashy and aggressive appearance, the Ibanez RGA-42HTP doesn't feel like a style-specific guitar. From blues to progressive, this axe delivers it all well. The smooth Jatoba fretboard makes things super-easy!
