RGA742FM-TGF Transparent Gray Flat 7-String

RGA is simply explained as an RG with an arched top, and it is precisely the arched top that the A stands for.

The sculpted top gives the guitar a slightly more luxurious and sophisticated look, but the difference is not just aesthetic. The top also gives a slightly different playing feel, above all because you get a slightly different angle on the plectrum hand. Even the back of the lower horn is strongly beveled for total access to the highest frets. The model is equipped with Ibanez Quantum pickups.

The RGA42FM is a 7-string RGA in the Ibanez Standard series with a Mercanti body, and a flamed maple top. The treble is a little 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 II-7 neck, a slightly thicker version of the popular Wizard profile, also a slightly rounder and softer profile. It also has a radius of 400mm instead of the Wizard neck's 430mm. A very nice 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-ground jumbo frets.
