Features

Ibanez RGA42HPT High Performance, Blue Lagoon Burst Matte (RGA42HPTLBM)

The Ibanez RGA42HPT is built for players who demand speed, precision, and aggressive tone without sacrificing comfort. Part of the High Performance Series, the RGA42HPT combines Ibanez's iconic arched-top RGA body with premium hardware, modern electronics, and exceptional playability. Finished in stunning Blue Lagoon Burst Matte, this guitar looks every bit as aggressive as it sounds.

Its lightweight nyatoh body is topped with beautifully figured ash and paired with a fast Wizard III roasted maple neck for outstanding stability and effortless playability. The roasted maple treatment enhances durability while providing a smooth, broken-in feel. Equipped with DiMarzio® Fusion Edge humbuckers designed specifically for progressive and modern metal players, the RGA42HPT delivers tight low end, articulate mids, and crisp highs that remain clear even under high gain. A fixed Gibraltar Standard II bridge maximizes sustain and tuning stability, making this guitar equally suited for stage and studio use.

Why You'll Love It

The RGA42HPT is an outstanding choice for modern players who want premium performance without stepping into Ibanez Prestige pricing. Stainless steel frets provide exceptional durability and silky bends, the roasted maple neck remains remarkably stable through seasonal changes, and the DiMarzio Fusion Edge pickups offer articulate cleans alongside crushing high-gain tones. The dyna-MIX10 switching system expands the guitar far beyond a traditional dual-humbucker instrument, making it equally capable of progressive metal, hard rock, fusion, worship, and clean ambient playing.
