RGA42FM-DEF (Blue Lagoon Burst Flat).
The RGA is simply explained as an RG with a curved top, and the curved top is exactly what the A stands for.
The sculpted top gives the guitar a slightly more luxurious and sophisticated look, but the difference is not kun aesthetic. The top also gives a slightly different playing feel, mainly because you get a slightly different angle on the pick hand. Even the back of the lower horn is heavily beveled for total access to the highest frets.
The model is equipped with Ibanez Quantum pickups.
The RGA42FM is an RGA in the Ibanez Standard series with a mahogany body with a beautiful flamed maple top, lightly shaded in a golden brown/Dragon Eye finish. The body is, as mentioned, mahogany and has a slightly warmer and softer sound. The treble is slightly softly rounded, but without losing clarity and separation. It has a pleasant hump in the middle register, which makes the sound during melody/solo playing fat and singing with long sustain
The guitar has a Wizard III neck, a slightly thicker version of the popular Wizard profile, also a slightly rounder and softer profile. It also has a radius of 400 mm instead of the 430 mm of the Wizard neck. A great neck for those who want a little more wood in their hand without the neck being thick and stiff. A fast and very easy to play neck equipped with 24 well-cut jumbo frets.
