Ibanez RGA42-FM Demonstration/Review

- The Ibanez RGA series has been a mainstay in the rock/metal guitar family. Bevelled edges, straightforward ergonomic design, solid tech and fast necks. Oh, and killer looks, typical of Ibanez RG models as a whole.
Here we go through each pickup with a clean signal as well as test the guitar for blues soloing and modern metal rhythm.
Sam talks us through the remarkable features of this solid weapon of a modern guitar.
THANK YOU. You're the only one actually playing distorted chords with higher notes ringing out. It's vital to know how the guitar will sound with distortion. Usually they sound muddy as F, but this guitar actually sound really clean and crisp.. !!
Really pleased to hear that you found the video useful! Thanks very much, Stay awesome! - Sam
I have one in Black Aurora Burst. That guitar lives best on the edge of break, or with a little gain, chorus and reverb. Not totally bad for metal, but if you like super high gain, swapping the pickups would be best. You played it right where it sounds best. Thanks for the post!
Thanks Casey, glad it resonated with you! - Sam
A beautiful guitar to go with your beautiful guitar playing! Im definetly going to get this guitar when i can afford it.
Great demo! This video deserves way more views!
Very much appreciated Nigel. A good sharearound via social media platforms does the trick ;) Glad you found the demo useful. All the best for a great xmas and new year - Sam
Absolute beast of a player.
he's a bit good isn't he. Stay tuned! He's working on a review of the Axion Ibanez as we speak.
i love this guitar it is so pleasant to play never had i a guitar so easy to play and it weights almost noting for al beginners and intermediat players i can guarantee u will love it as i do
finally a good demo ,cheers
Thanks so much for the kind words! We are currently receving alot more Ibanez guitars, we are selling through faster in some cases than we can demo them as we are a smaller store, but we'll keep up the chase ;) All the best - Sam
Excellent video! Ok my mind’s made up, I’m definitely picking this guitar, but in the gray finish.
So glad that we were able to help! Hope you enjoy your new guitar - Sam
Great video man!! Thanks for this 🙏
Stay tuned! Sam's reviewing the Axion Label RG as we speak, some very snazzy riffs in this next one. :D
Damn this song in the middle. Im melting dude. 😊 Looking for an Allrounder.
Thanks! Look no further! - :)
Did you end up getting it? I have this in the Dragon Eye Burst and just got a RG421AHM as well. They may look like metal shred machines, but man don't let the looks fool you. These RGA's and RG's are extremely versatile guitars. As shown in the video by the excellent playing!
@@Zephyr1202 Wise AND kind words going a long way! Keep being both! All the best :) - Sam
Yeah great guitar and review! 🤘🏻
Thanks Ed! Stay awesome! :)
@@HickiesMusicStore you too pal!! 👍
He went for the floyd at 2:16🤣
he'll do that.. cheeky sausage.
🤣
Your amazing guitarist my friend!!!I like your tone in 2:00 minute of your video.Is it directly of an amp?(If yes ...which)or you use any spesific pedal?Thank you...
Thanks so much dude. I think in this video I was using a Boss Katana 50 with a Boss OD1X overdrive in front of it. Crunch channel I beleive. Keep rocking - Sam
how about im not a metal player does this guitar will still suit ny style
Hi dude! In theory yes, being able to split the coil of the pickups adds for some really quite nice cleaner tones, I played some bluesier examples here too which translated pretty well. Looks wise its certainly got more of a modern metal edge, I'd suggest havinga look at some "Jet" guitars for awesome features with moe traditional design aesthetics. Thanks so much for this great question, stay awesome! - Sam
nice review. what's the name of the song you play at the intro or if not a song which artist and song inspired it?
So glad you enjoyed the review! The song is "Zenith II: Arcadia" from my band "Arcaeon" a link for you -

Dang, you use a thick pick son, what kind of Clayton megaton thickness u got goin' on?
Thats a Dunlop Tortex Jazz III, 2.0!
Excellent video! Could anyone tell me what the musical genre you play at the beginning of the video is called? Thank you!!
Thanks so much Daniel, id say it's "tech/progressive metal" if you liked it then check out my band "Arcaeon" it's one of our songs. All the best, and stay awesome - Sam
@@HickiesMusicStore thanks for answer me! By he way your group has Instagram? Share your profile when you can. Greetings 💪🏽!!!
i just love everything about the video!, beautiful guitar, amazing guitarist, someone knows the title of these songs? or if he invented these songs, someone can suggest me some bands who play in this style? i'll be so grateful!
Thanks so much for your kind words Luca! The first song is called "Arcadia" and is from the band I play for "Arcaeon", Ill post a link for you. The other examples are backing tracks, can't remember specifically which ones im afraid! Im so glad you enoyed this video, hope you are having a great day where you are. Stay awesome! - Sam

Hey man, i love the piece at 1:54, where do I find it? Thanks
It was a backing track! Unsure of which one it was now looking back, but appreciate you digging it!
what is the name of the song at 0:52? Great tone man!
Just wailing over a backing track dude! Glad you like it, was just a boss katana and boss OD1X :)
@@HickiesMusicStore wow, really nice man keep it up
@@jamieknoxcarter5166 Thanks Jamie! Stay Awesome! - Sam
Hi , would this be an update on a Jackson js32 hardtail?
If by that you mean upgrading your guitar - They are damn close. Would more than be worth weighing up upgrading your pickups before you completely upgrade (fishman fluence moderns would work well) or a slightly higher level ibanez, an RGA42HQPM springs to mind as being a great step up. We carry both!
If you meant an update as in the guitars being similiar with a slightly newer set of features/materials in the Ibanez then yes, you are right. They are very similiar only the pickups on this particular ibanez are voiced slightly brighter than the stock jacksons. Hope either of these answers helps!
If your local, pop down to the store in Reading and you are welcome to try anything and ask away as much as you like!

@@HickiesMusicStore cheers Sam 🍻 always looking for the ultimate guitar 🎸!!
I bought it but quallity its not perfect. Pick up is little bit off place. And little "hole " where couur is darker... not buy cheap guitar again, but it acctually wasnt too cheap
Hi there, sorry to hear you had a bad experience with your instrument, I think any amount of quality control, be it on factory made or even hand built guitars, there can always be a few that may slip through with a finish flaw or setup issues. I'd definately reccomend contacting your dealer/distributor direct and seeing if they can help you out. Its got to be right! - Sam
As if more expensive guitars, especially made in the U.S. have better quality. Especially with the Gibson there have been so many problems in my 38 years, that I do not wish the same for anyone.
Guitar made in?
Indonesia! Thanks for the comment - :)
minuto 2:06 tremolo invicible xd
"ghost vibrato" ;) - Sam
How do I get the tone of 2:49
Boss katana 50 going directly into an ssl2 interface, only special ingredients here are the guitar itself and a boss OD1X overdrive, which I'm using to boost a slightly warm crunch channel on the katana. Hope this helps! - Sam
@@HickiesMusicStore it does thank you! Now I just need to figure out what setting get me to that. I’m pretty shit at getting a good tone.
@@HickiesMusicStore I have a boss katana 50 too, could you share the patch, or show us how the get that tone pls?
name first song? please!
One of my own! - Arcaeon: Zenith II - Arcadia

Enjoy it! - Sam
Thanks! this is awesome!
That knee fabric missing is 1990s nonsense. Wise up ... he can play well already and an Ibanez RG is a real guitar...
Came at a time when I could not afford new jeans. Musician life! XD - Cheers for the kind words. - Sam :)
