Ibanez RGA42FM

The Ibanez RGA42FM-BLF is a 6-string electric guitar from the RGA Standard series, built for comfortable high-speed playing and versatile modern tones. It features a Flamed Maple top with 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 familiar platform for both rhythm and lead playing. (Ibanez)

The guitar is equipped with a pair of Ibanez Quantum passive ceramic humbuckers, positioned at the neck and bridge. These pickups are designed to deliver strong low-end response, pronounced mids and clear high-frequency articulation, making the RGA42FM suitable for everything from clean and crunch tones to heavier high-gain sounds. A 5-way pickup selector, volume control and tone control provide additional tonal flexibility. (Ibanez)

The BLF version comes in Blue Lagoon Burst Flat, with black hardware for a modern appearance. It uses an F106 fixed bridge, which allows individual string-height adjustment and contributes to stable tuning and sustain. The guitar is factory fitted with D'Addario EXL110 strings in .010–.046 gauge and is tuned to standard E-B-G-D-A-E. (Ibanez)
