You want a guitar that won't hold you back. Music Experience has your axe: the Ibanez RGA42HP.

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 at Music Experience love the feel and playability of Ibanez's RG guitars. You will too!

Fixed bridge stability for rock-solid tuning

The Ibanez RGA42HP 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 DiMarzio Fusion Edge humbucking pickups and 5-way switching, you'll be able to shape your tone any way you like on the RGA42HP. With its aggressive visuals and high output, it will forever be known as a rock guitar, however, the RGA42HP's fast playability and tonal variety make it a great instrument for almost any style.
