You'll love how this guitar sounds as soon as you plug it in — its two hot DiMarzio Fusion Edge humbucking pickups and coil tap switch make it ideal for metal, rock, and blues. If you're searching for a guitar that won't hold you back, then Music Experience has your axe: the Ibanez RGA42HPQM.

Classic RG performance

The Ibanez RG series of guitars has remained a standard in rock music for 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 RGA42HPQM 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, along with looser string tension. 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 3-way switching, you'll be able to shape your tone any way you like on the RGA42HPQM. With its aggressive visuals and high output, it will forever be known as a rock guitar; however, the RGA42HPQM’s fast playability and tonal variety make it a great instrument for almost any style.
