Product Description
RGA series RGA42FM Electric Guitar Flat Dragon Eye Burst. If Ibanez can lay claim to the title of being the strongest name in Metal guitars, then the RGA is the model this reputation was built on. Every inch of this classic screams speed, fury, and expression. The RGA42FM is a hardtail 6-string electric built around a Mahogany body with stunning Flamed Maple top. Its contoured top not only looks sleek—it creates a softer, more comfortable edge where the player’s right forearm rests. Other features include a fast, thin, Wizard III Maple neck and Rosewood fretboard with jumbo frets for maximum left hand performance. This neck and fretboard combination provides a smooth, inviting playing surface and contributes to the RGA42FM’s warm, well-defined tonality. Proprietary Quantum pickups offer an entire palette of thick, distorted tone textures that never sacrifice high-end articulation. A simple, yet solid fixed bridge provides stable, dependable tuning and accurate intonation. Case sold separately.

After opening the guitar and playing it here's my first impressions. Once the new strings settled the guitar stayed in tune fine. Wish it had locking tuners but at this price point you won't find that. This is the only thing I may upgrade. The neck is super smooth and plays great right out of the box, no setup needed, Amazing! Pickups I though for sure would have to be upgrade but nope, this play and sound great, no need to waste money. Some people had complaints about rough frets, wasn't an issue for my guitar.
Such a solid guitar for metal and rock for $399, go ahead and buy it with confidence, plus they look great. Oh and the "paint job" is just laminate. or else that would add a few hundred on to the price tag.

The guitar is beautiful. Unfortunately, the neck has down bow. Truss Rod made no difference. Pickup wiring was partially out. The saddle was uneven. There was significan buzz on 1st and 2nd fret. The action was all over the place. The neck was clearly defective. This has become the standard for Ibanez with the RG and SA models. I blame Ibanez quality control for this. There is no excuse for Ibanez to allow those guitars that have these type of issues to pass for sake. Unfortunately, the ones who suffer the most are the customer and the seller, in most cases the seller is not at fault - the seller who sold me the guitar refunded my purchase with no argument. I did make another purchase.
It's a true travesty because this model is beautifully designed, but due to poor quality control, this model I can never trust.
The seller was great and refunded promptly. I gladly will do business with the seller
