Model Overview
The moment you pick up the Ibanez RGA42FM BLF, you can tell it’s been crafted with precision down to the last millimetre. Every detail has been carefully considered — from the body contour that fits seamlessly against you, to a tone that can be shaped to suit almost any style. The RGA series is all about combining Ibanez’s signature ergonomics with a sharper, modern edge.
The sleek, sculpted body with deep cutaways allows effortless access to the upper frets. The maple neck, seamlessly joined to the body, adds brightness and sustain, while the rosewood fingerboard smooths out the attack. This is the kind of guitar that can handle heavy riffs as confidently as expressive lead lines — versatile and incredibly responsive.
Its pair of Quantum humbuckers are the true heart of the instrument. They provide a bold, full-bodied sound with pronounced lows and crystal-clear highs. Adjust the volume slightly or switch pickup positions, and you can achieve impressively clean tones with minimal effort. The electronics are intuitive — a single volume knob, a tone control, and a five-way switch to shape your sound on the fly.
Designed not only for the stage but also for home and studio use, this guitar suits everyone from casual players to recording artists. It sounds great through a tube combo or a modern digital processor — no fuss, no limitations.
The finish is another highlight. The Blue Lagoon Burst Flat colour feels alive, capturing the essence of both sea and sky. In person, it’s even more mesmerising than in photos. The matte surface resists fingerprints, making it a practical choice for daily playing.
