Featuring a fast maple Wizard II-7 neck and jatoba fingerboard with a 15.7-inch radius, the Ibanez Standard RGA742FM Electric Guitar is purposely built for high-speed, low-drag playing. It all starts with a perfectly balanced RG meranti body topped with gorgeous flamed maple. You'll love how this guitar sounds as soon as you plug it in — it's outfitted with two Quantum-7 humbucking pickups and a coil tap switch, making it ideal for metal, rock, and blues. If you're searching for a guitar that won't hold you back, Music Experience has your axe: the Ibanez RGA742FM.
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 II-7 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!
The Ibanez RGA742FM 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.
With two Quantum-7 humbucking pickups and 5-way switching, you'll be able to shape your tone any way you like on the RGA742FM. With its aggressive visuals and high output, it will forever be known as a rock guitar; however, the RGA742FM's fast playability and tonal variety make it a great instrument for almost any style.
Nothing breathes inspiration into your playing like the feel of a precision made instrument, capable of interpreting your every move with power and accuracy. Enter the Ibanez RGA— a solid body specifically built to handle the heaviest, most physically demanding music you can conjure up. The RGA's unique, sleekly sculpted top offers unrestricted playability for full-throttle power chording or heavy riffing without fear of digging into the body.
Ibanez's thin, flat, and fast, yet strong and sturdy, Wizard neck offers unlimited playability for demanding players, and features a two-octave 24-fret fretboard for wide tonal range.
Jatoba has a reddish brown color which produces a rich mid range with a crisp high end.
The Quantum pickups provide accelerated bass response for exceptionally fast tracking of high-speed staccato riffing with crushing mid range and precise high-end articulation.
