Fierce pickups

This Ibanez RG comes equipped with a duo of very enticing pickups, which deliver a powerful sound. DiMarzio Fusion Edge humbuckers accommodate the most ferocious playing techniques - perfect for any aggressive performance. This pair delivers modern metal tones that are rich in clarity. From a decimating low end to sharp, clear highs, they ensure every single note is released from the strings with immense power.

Sculpt your sound using the volume and tone controls to create a tone that is completely distinctive. A pickup selector then allows you to switch between the smoothness of the neck humbucker to the punchy bridge. However, the most feature which adds the most dynamism is the coil-tap switch, which lets you achieve a lower output and a more vintage-sounding tone. Take away some output for a crisper, twangier tone. You will never grow bored with the Ibanez RGA42HPQM.

Perform with confidence

Well-crafted with a Wizard III neck, this Ibanez is sleek, smooth, and sumptuous. The roasted maple sits comfortably in the palm of your hand as your fingers rocket up and down the fingerboard. Despite its thin design, this neck is strong, sturdy, and built for demanding players. And thanks to the kiln drying process, the maple's moisture has been eliminated for a neck that is robust, lightweight, dynamic, and climate resistant.

Its maple neck has been complemented by a jatoba fingerboard, displaying a warm, reddish-brown colour. Its qualities also run deeper than its beautiful aesthetic. It is a durable tonewood that can handle the frequent attack of your fretting, whilst always delivering delicious sounds. Jatoba offers a beautifully balanced tone with an exceptionally warm midrange, lending itself to your skilful sound sculpting.

An ocean of sublime sonics

Immerse yourself in the sonic depths that radiate from the Ibanez RGA42HPTQM's body. Taking centre stage is a quilted maple top - perfect for gigging with its shimmering clarity and minimal feedback. It is bright, loud, and focused, so you can play with tremendous volume without ever experiencing that dreaded muddy sound. Maple also has the ability to separate notes even in the most complex of chords, resulting in wonderful definition and tantalising textures.

The back and sides are built from nyatoh, a tonewood that holds similar tonal characteristics to those of mahogany. It delivers beautiful warmth that teams perfectly with the brightness produced by maple and gives you an exquisite, full-bodied sound. When combined, these two materials are perfectly sculpted to ensure this guitar is ready to accommodate all of your performing requirements.
