Ibanez RGA42EX-BAM

The Ibanez RGA42EX-BAM is a 6-string electric guitar from the RGA series, designed for comfortable high-speed playing and modern rock and metal performance. It features a Meranti body, a fast Wizard III Maple neck, and a Jatoba fretboard with offset white dot inlays. The 648 mm (25.5") scale length, 24 jumbo frets and 400 mm radius provide a comfortable platform for both rhythm and lead playing. (Ibanez)

The guitar is equipped with Ibanez Quantum passive ceramic humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions. These pickups are designed for a quick low-end response, strong midrange and clear high-frequency articulation, making the RGA42EX suitable for clean, crunch and high-gain tones. A 5-way pickup selector, volume control and tone control provide additional tonal flexibility. (Ibanez)

The BAM version comes in Black Aurora Burst Matte, giving the guitar a dark burst appearance with a matte finish. It uses an F106 fixed bridge with 10.5 mm string spacing, while the black hardware complements the overall finish. The guitar comes factory fitted with D'Addario EXL110 strings and is tuned to standard E tuning. (Ibanez)
