Ibanez RGA42AHBKS

The Ibanez RGA42AH gives fast riffs plenty of room with its slim Wizard III neck

Are you looking for an electric guitar that lets you explore both powerful riffs and smooth melodies? The Ibanez RGA42AHBKS combines a slim Wizard III neck with two Quantum humbuckers and a fixed F106 bridge. This gives you a straightforward foundation for rock and metal without the extra adjustment options of a tremolo bridge. The meranti body features an ash top, while the jatoba fretboard accommodates 24 jumbo frets. Whether you are learning your first riffs or venturing further up the neck, this RGA gives you plenty of opportunities to develop your technique.

The passive Quantum pickups use ceramic magnets and are designed for a fast response in the low end. This helps keep the individual notes of fast passages clearly defined, even when your amplifier is heavily distorted. The mids and highs give your parts body, making the guitar just as compelling for more than just rhythm work. The slim, flat Wizard III neck invites you to explore different positions. With two octaves of frets, you can work on both low riffs and melodies higher up the neck, discovering your own playing style step by step.

The maple neck has a 648 mm, or 25.5-inch, scale length and a width of 43 mm at the nut. The neck thickness increases from 19 mm at the first fret to 21 mm at the twelfth fret. The jatoba fretboard has a 400 mm radius and offset white dot inlays. The F106 bridge offers individual height adjustment for each string and a 10.5 mm string spacing. Black hardware completes the design. From the factory, the guitar is tuned to standard E and fitted with D’Addario EXL110 strings in .010 to .046. The two Quantum humbuckers make up the pickup configuration.

Are you looking for an accessible Ibanez electric guitar that invites you to play beyond your familiar riffs? The RGA42AH combines a fast neck with a fixed bridge and a distinctive humbucker foundation. Pick it up and discover where your next melody or riff will take you.
