Ibanez RGAR42HP RGA High Performance Electric Guitar Metallic Purple Flat

Ibanez guitars have become a strong name in metal guitars for their outstanding playability and performance. With selected materials and high-profile electronics and hardware, every detail is deeply considered and designed. The Ibanez High Performance series delivers high-end performance and road warrior dependability.

The Ibanez RGAR42HP features a nyatoh body, creating a mesmerizing visual aura and a warm, expressive tone. This Ibanez model’s contoured top not only looks sleek, it creates a softer, more comfortable edge where the player’s right forearm rests. A roasted maple neck has been heat-treated to increase the wood’s stability and durability, providing a well-balanced note attack and tone with rich sustain.

The Ibanez RGAR42HP also boasts a jatoba fretboard with jumbo frets that offer effortless fingering up and down the full length of the fretboard. In addition, the fretboard has luminescent side dot position marks to make it easy for players to see fretboard position when performing on dark stages.

DiMarzio Fusion Edge pickups, a collaboration between DiMarzio and Ibanez, provide great clarity and a very smooth response, satisfying the current demands of players in today’s progressive metal scene. The fixed bridge also boasts a low-profile design, allowing plenty of picking hand freedom while optimizing tuning stability.
