Ibanez Standard RGA742EX-BAM Black Aurora Burst Matte
The guitar is well built as expected from Ibanez, i tried a few models and decided on an RGA, mostly because i like the arch top, i dont like the hard edges of the RG models and while the body shape of the S series fits me well and the hardwars is much the same , the S series guitars are super thin..... This particular guitar i had to return as there is a tiny dent on the neck by the first fret but there models are mass produced so somtimes a few small imperfections slip through the net..... i must say the guitar was very well 'set up' and played great out of the box. To be honest i have not plugged it into an amp as i am returning it so didn't wan't to remove the plastic covering the pickups so i cannot review the sound but i gave 5 stars anyway because it's an Ibanez! There is one small 'smudge' on the front so i gave 4 stars for 'optic'.... The guitar is well made and other than the tiny dent on the neck
