The Ibanez RGA42AH-BKS Black Stained at a glance:

With the Ibanez RGA42AH-BKS Black Stained, the Japanese cult guitar maker delivers a sleek electric guitar that is perfect for riff-driven styles from classic rock to metal thanks to its modern features. The ergonomically contoured meranti body with a striking ash top really shows off its best side: the eye-catching transparent black finish highlights the top’s grain beautifully, while the dark jatoba fingerboard and matching headstock complete the design of the RGA42AH. The bolt-on maple neck with Wizard III profile is exceptionally slim and, combined with the flat 15.7" fingerboard radius, ensures fast playability across all 24 jumbo frets, making this model ideal for demanding metal riffs or expressive leads. In terms of sound, two Quantum humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions deliver a powerful, well-defined tone with plenty of output for modern high-gain sounds. The solid F106 bridge impresses with precise intonation and stable sustain, while the black hardware complements the guitar’s commanding look. For anyone seeking an affordable yet uncompromising metal guitar, the RGA42AH is a stylish choice for stage, studio, and rehearsal.
