Melding a classic RG silhouette with a head-turning archtop design, the Ibanez Standard RGA742EX is a bona fide down-tuned riff machine. This potent, extended-range performer is built upon an aerodynamically sculpted, double-cutaway meranti body bolted to a 3-piece maple Wizard II-7 neck. The 24-fret jatoba fingerboard offers abundant room for rapid-fire finger maneuvers, and the offset dot inlays give this instrument a stage-ready aesthetic that's sure to impress. Plugging in the RGA742EX unleashes a captivating continuum of tones, courtesy of a twin complement of Ibanez's Quantum humbuckers. Additionally, the Ibanez F107 hardtail bridge and tuning machines ensure rock-solid reliability even under extremely primal playing conditions. At its core, the Ibanez Standard RGA742EX is a high-caliber instrument designed for deadly down-tuned riffage, scorching hot shredding, and above all crafting intricate, genre-defining metal soundscapes.
One of Ibanez's fastest necks to date, the 3-piece maple Wizard II-7 neck on the RGA742EX is an absolute pleasure to play. This slim and super-comfortable neck lets you pull off lightning-fast runs, arpeggios, and hammer-ons with ease, but it still gives you the substance you need for fretting chords. Capping the neck is a 24-fret jatoba fingerboard that's loaded with jumbo frets that are perfect for big note bends. From the first time you put your hands on the RGA742EX's Wizard II-7 neck, you'll know you've got a guitar that was built with performance in mind.
The Ibanez RGA742EX delivers maximum impact and power, thanks to a duo of Quantum 7 pickups. These ceramic-fueled humbuckers are brilliant for leads: vibrant yet snarling with an enhanced midrange output when you push them. Moreover, their defined sound helps individual notes cut through even through an aggressive band churning out high-volume metallurgic music. A 5-way lever pickup selector switch, along with Master Volume and Tone controls, puts you in complete command of your sound. If you're after maximum tonal tenacity, then the RGA742EX will give your amplifier or modeler what it needs.
The RGA742EX comes equipped with an Ibanez F107 hardtail bridge, which many guitarists here find incredibly stable, able to accommodate the full gamut of playing techniques with steadfast reliability. Additionally, this bulletproof setup is reinforced by high-quality Ibanez tuning machine heads. A perennial favorite among trem-avoidant guitarists, this potent hardware combination enables you to subject this axe to extreme down-tuned mayhem but still experience rock-solid response and tuning stability. To put it plainly, you can chug and slam all you want; follow it up with a rich, jazzy chord voicing, and it'll stay perfectly in tune.
