Ibanez RGA42EX Standard Electric Guitar Black Aurora Burst Matte

I like to play guitar in my free time just for fun. It's sound great, time is warm and bright. It's also great for high gain distortion and things like that with the humbucker pickups. #sweepstakes

This thing is beautiful ! As for playability it is extremely versatile and feels so smooth! The 5 way switch and pickups sound great better than guitars that I have spent much more money on. There was a lot of buzz on the first couple frets but loosened the truss rod a tad and perfect

Purchased to give as a Christmas gift. The color of this Ibanez drew my son immediately to it. It's black. It's purple. It's very cool. I read some reviews that said it may be a bit overpriced compared to others you can get in that price range. Regardless, it does play quite well. May need a set up but it's not bad. Pickups are hot. Does give a good sound on a clean channel when you dial down the volume. Responds well with OD. The neck feels good. Flat and easy to play. Easy to reach upper frets. Overall, the fretwork isn't bad. Smooth.

The guitar itself is great, however it did have fret buzz on the first 3 frets. It was my fault for not getting the warranty, otherwise I would've just had guitar center fix it. I'm not unhappy whatsoever with the guitar as I will get the fret buzz fixed at a local shop.

I use this guitar to jam, and practice almost daily with. I haven't found anything that I can't do with the guitar. Super great playability straight out of the box. For my first Ibanez, it's proving to be a great choice.

I was looking for a double Humbucker guitar I could use for a project, as I have a Set of SS Invaders just chilling, waiting for a home. This thing exceeded expectations as far as looks, and setup was great out of the box, with no fret buzz, which is unusual. So not only was this a great value out of the box, but basically it will get better with upgrades. I also plan on putting on Graphtech saddles along with the Invaders, not that the bridge that came on it isn't good quality, but it's a preference thing. So far, no tuning issues, so no need for tuner upgrades yet. So yourself a favor, and but one of these, you won't be dissappointed, especially with it's upgrade potential.
