RGA742FM-TGF (Transparent Gray Flat). 7-string.
RGA is simply 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, especially because you get a slightly different angle on the pick hand. Even the back of the lower horn is heavily beveled for total access to the highest bands.
The model is equipped with Ibanez Quantum pickups.
RGA42FM is a 7-string RGA in the Ibanez Standard series with a Mercanti body, and a top of flamed maple. The treble is a little softly rounded, but without losing clarity and separation. It has a pleasant hump in the mid-range that makes the sound of 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 little rounder and softer profile. It also has a radius of 400mm instead of the Wizard neck's 430mm. A very comfortable 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-sharpened jumbo frets.
