And it sports two hot Quantum humbucking pickups, ideal for rock, blues, and metal. You want a guitar that won't hold you back, right? WE have your axe: the Ibanez RGA42EX.

Classic RG performance

The Ibanez RG series of guitars has remained a standard in rock music for the last couple of decades, thanks to the effortless playability of its Wizard III neck. Switching between aggressive rhythm playing and fluid lead lines is effortless on this slim-profile neck. The guitarists here love the feel and playability of Ibanez's RG guitars. You will, too!

Fixed bridge stability for rock-solid tuning

The Ibanez RGA42EX sports a fixed bridge, which means no tuning hassles due to a floating vibrato. From standard to lowered tunings your guitar's tuning will be more stable and the string tension will feel looser. When you change tunings at a gig, you'll be ready to rock without messing with the bridge or locking nuts.

Gargantuan tonal range

With two Quantum humbucking pickups and 5-way switching, you'll be able to shape your tone any way you like on the RGA42EX. With its aggressive visuals and high output, it will forever be known as a rock guitar; however, the RGA42EX's fast playability and tonal variety make it a great instrument for almost any style.
