Ibanez built the RGA42FMBLF as part of the RGA Series, a line that paired a double-cutaway extended-upper-horn body format with a fixed bridge and high-output passive pickups aimed at players who prioritised tuning stability and aggressive tone over tremolo versatility.
The guitar was constructed with a Meranti body topped with a Flamed Maple cap finished in Blue Lagoon Burst Flat. The Wizard III Maple neck carried a Jatoba fretboard with 24 jumbo frets, off-set white dot inlays, a 43mm nut width, and a 400mm radius. The 648mm (25.5") scale length fed into an F106 fixed bridge with 10.5mm string spacing. Pickup duties were handled by a pair of passive ceramic-magnet Quantum humbuckers — one at the neck, one at the bridge — with all hardware finished in black. The instrument left the factory strung with D'Addario EXL110s (.010–.046) in standard E tuning.
Owners requiring bridge replacements, nut work, or pickup swaps should consult a qualified guitar technician, who can verify part compatibility against the F106 bridge footprint, the 10.5mm string spacing, and the documented neck dimensions before sourcing components.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
