Ibanez RGA42FM-DEF RGA Standard Electric Guitar

I have to admit, I was a little nervous at what I may receive being this guitar only cost $399. All of my other guitars cost in the thousands. I needed a guitar strictly for Metal/Hard Rock that would be tuned down. Since I only need that for a handful of songs I didn't see the need to spend a ton of money. I did my research and it brought me to this guitar. After opening the guitar and playing it here's my first impressions. Once the new strings settled the guitar stayed in tune fine. Wish it had locking tuners but at this price point you won't find that. This is the only thing I may upgrade. The neck is super smooth and plays great right out of the box, no setup needed, Amazing! Pickups I though for sure would have to be upgrade but nope, this play and sound great, no need to waste money. Some people had complaints about rough frets, wasn't an issue for my guitar. Such a solid guitar for metal and rock for $399, go ahead and buy it with confidence, plus they look great. Oh and the "paint job" is just laminate. or else that would add a few hundred on to the price tag.

Ordered one day in the morning and received it a day and a half later, came well packaged and in great condition, has one tiny little nick on the back edge which you would never know without totally examining it, setup was great and almost came in tune., very happy with the guitar, thanks again for the quick delivery.

I don't play yet, but visually this guitar looks beautiful. I see no flaws. It's easy to fret and doesn't buzz, which makes practice easier.

If you don’t want to spend huge money on a guitar this is the go to. The fretboard feels very good and the overall feel of the guitar is great. The pickups are good enough for the price point.

This guitar is very versatile, and lightweight. I just love the finish and the wizard 3 neck. I'm able to play some songs on it that I'm not able to do on some of my other guitar
