Ibanez Review: RGT42BP

History:

Purchase: I ordered the guitar off of MusiciansFriend.com for $599. I had a Fender strat, but i wanted more versatility

What I Like About This Ibanez RGT42BP: I like the neck-thru design of the guitar. I also like the looks, It is a sharp guitar. The binding sets the whole thing off. But beware, black pearl isn't very black, its kind of a charcoal. I also love the floyd rose tremolo on it. It stays in tune perfectly

What I Do NOT Like About The Ibanez RGT42BP: I would like the neck to be a bit thinner. It has a substanial feel and is a good neck, but thinner would be better. Also the stock pickups could be better, maybe some Seymour Duncans?

Ibanez RGT42BP Quality Rating: The guitar is rock solid, and I would feel safe taking it on the road with me. The whole guitar is built to last

Review Summary: If you want a good mid priced guitar with solid construction and that will last a while, this is it.

Rating of this Ibanez product: 4
