Henning, the tone and smooth playing at the start of the video sounds good
The coil split or whatever they do for the single coil sound, is actually nice, unlike others (even within Ibanez catalogue) that just sounds like a broken humbucker
My first (and only guitar) is an Ibanez SG looking thing and it has lots of problems, but that cemented my love for Ibanez non the less.
Congrats! great surf color!
THAT color ! Beautiful guitar, no one needs locking tuners imho, but I'd have loved a tremolo on it... you gave me GAS again Henning !
Congrats on your collab, well well deserved !
what collab? that name is pure coincidence!
@@EytschPi42 Making me feel bad there...
I should pay more attention to the video next time and less to the game... my apologies
7:57 I found something similar with my Ibanez SA, it has no-name lockin tuners but they are really good. I also have an ibanez RG and it has dead points and that thing, adjusting to today inflation, was way more expensive.
I really like the look of this one. No need for staggered tuners on an angled headstock IMO. Locking tuners would be nice though! I also prefer the 5-way switch rather than the 3-way + coil split toggle.
Sounds good to me and so do you sound great
I just love the Ibanez Sea Foam Greens! I think I'll get all of mine of that color lol
5:43 that explains why Leslie’s eBay shop only has one item :
Med knob.
Will trade for Jason Momoa or similar serious inquiries only!
that thing looks gorgeous
Wow, some seriously great playing there. I think you’ve been holding back all these years? You’re much better than you make out. 🤘
I have this same guitar in yellow. The model is RGAR42HP I love it
it's giving me a massive Jake Bowen ibanez sig. the HP42 is Titan pointy, if it was in white it'd pretty much be the same guitar give or take a few features
that's a beautiful Guitar!
HP42 review HP42....
Seems legit....
Love your review....
Henning, are we having thomann flohmark this year ???
Why would you prefer staggered tuners on an angled headstock?
Cool color with that roasted neck... but the gold... too much for me...I imagine how killer it would look with black chrome parts! Why isn't that not a total thing yet..I don't know! Thanks Henning and Rock On! 😎🎸🎹🤘🐦
Nicely played brother. I got my eye on one, but im not sure which trem they put. The edge are stable, but recover instantly, and I cant depress until strings are hanging.😅
Another great video my shiny bald friend! Keep up the great content!
I always like RG guitars. Perfect feel.
Beauty!
Why would you need staggered tuners on an angled headstock, though?
Would love this with black hardware
I lurrrvve it!
when do I get to review your Rivolta.... big GAS guitar!
You nearly got it right, Henning!
The RGA is no more pointier than the RG, but has a carved top, which may be made from different wood, but not neccessarily. Mainly it is for the comfort of playing for those who feel like that.
"HP" mainly means a roasted neck, A-brand pickups and perhaps the luminescent side dots.
Why this "HP" series has to be 400 or 500 bucks more expensive than the normal, "non HP" RG?
Highly educated scientists are working on that issue for quite a while ... maybe businessmen can explain?
PS: Tuners never were a problem on Ibanez guitars.
Nice guitar for the price...be better to include case...great video Henning.
Had me going for a couple minutes.. I was like they gave you a signature model before Jen?!?!?! Still pretty cool though.😎👍
I have the blue Floyd rose version of this guitar and I absolutely love it. Fretwork is perfect, just needs better pickups. Sweet tone on the video btw, what u using?
Henning, you're right, it's an arguable choice by Ibanez to mount a 3-way PU selector AND a split-coil microswitch,
instead of a 5-way switch which would do the same job (roughly) ...
Anyway, this baby seems to be a lot of guitar for les than 800 €uros !!
Did someone say Les?🧐
The subjective in life rears its head.... I like it and for under 1k? Yea I don't have a problem with what I saw. I added my subjectiveness to the frey. Thanks Henning!
Definitely better with Marshally and EVH type amps than the Vox-ish ones (to my ears anyway. Those pickups aren't bad either.
This whole line is Ibanez's hat tip to you, Henning. There are no two ways about this. I refuse to accept any other explanation.
The is almost exactly like my RGA61al just different color really
Ibanez... please top using jatoba at this price point. And bring back basswood bodies too!
I have the standard RGA42FM and after upgrading the nut and bridge to a hipshot, it plays like a dream. Now to upgrade the pups and I'll be set lol
That's borderline on buying a different instrument to begin with lol
@@valebliz I paid 5 bucks outta pocket for the hipshot usa bridge and 10 bucks for the tusq nut lol
@@adamd.6698 5 bucks for the bridge? Wtf? It may be that i'm not accustomed to fixed bridges, but i put togheter a partscaster a few days ago with a gotoh 510 tremolo and here in europe the bridge alone was 150€
@@valebliz lol I had some amazon codes I cashed in
I think full price it was $55 for the bridge
I can see why you'd want locking tuners, as they are faster. Staggered though, on a tilt back headstock, serve zero purpose
They are still WAY faster to change strings than non locking, no matter the headstock design.
@@Webgkil yeah that's why he said staggered make little sense lol
Webgkil, locking yes. We agree there. Staggered serve no purpose on a tilt headstock. Why Henning even mentioned that is beyond me.
Exactly! No need for them on this guitars headstock
The version they released in laser blue and floyd rose omg
I wish they made that in this finish.
There's no need for staggered tuners when you have a tilt back headstock.
Looks like my first electric, don't have it anymore, the Ibanez Maxxass
Cool guitar. I am maybe slightly disappointed that it doesn't have the 'ugly sweater' paintjob instead of seafoam green.
I 've always hated gold plated accessories but not for the look, cause they ages badly in time.. but the color is awesome.
They kinda do. I have an acoustic takamine with gold tuners from 2012 and she is showing a lot of signs of wear
Really do not like the distortion....what ever happened to clean? Beautiful guitar though....
You can get japan made Rg550 with trem for 950 eur btw.
why it s not purple ??????
You don't need staggered tuners on a tilt back headstock. Same reason no string tree either.
I love the Wizard III necks. One thing about the scarf joint "save a little bit of money" comment: They don't do scarf joints to save money, they do it because it is the better construction for angled headstocks when dealing with a 1-piece-maple neck. This is why Gibsons are infamous for their broken headstocks. It has something to do with the wood grain. Ibanez glues the headstock on so the angle can go with the grain instead of creating a giant predetermined breaking point. The Jackson USA custom shop does the scarf joints as well on their 1-piece maple necks and those are expensive guitars, obviously.
Ibanez has basically 3 models of building a neck: the 1-piece scarf joint thing on the wizard III necks with angled headstocks, the 1-piece neck without angled headstocks and therefore no scarf joint and the 3-5 piece necks that don't need the glued on headstock because the rigidity comes from the multiple pieces of wood.
Dude! That is totally you man! That should be called the Gear Street HP42! That is what I will refer to it as forever!...it dose need locking tuners and a bone nut!
Btw, Gotoh makes these tuners for Ibanez just in case anybody was doubting their capability.
Hard tails sound better than trems, with Strat sounds the only exception. So you have a guitar worth listening to, should chime for days, that’s why my skin was crawling before you tuned it. Sure I love DiMarzio pickups, they have some standouts, and I would probably load up DP103, 36th Ann’s. I hate blade switches, and prefer two volume knobs, otherwise I actually like plastic nuts because they don’t grab strings, and with that offset 6th ferrule you could intonate a set of heavy bottoms, usually run out of room. 800 clams, some decent pickups, and you have yourself a worthy companion to that Sky King. Look at them, meant to be together. Oh, and does it get any better than Schaller? I always thought they were the best, but those Hipshot drop tuners are always great, and this guitar would jam if it had a drop tune 6th tuner because you don’t have to worry about it going out of tune very much (1 or 2 cents) if you flipped the lever and had drop D (or C for you low riders). That guitar has something to say, I would love to listen to it, damn COVID, I’m sorry Ibanez, we are all hanging on for dear life at the moment. ☮️
This or a prs se custom? Mainly play rock, blues and some jazz.
PRS SE
@@EytschPi42 danke für den Tipp HP!!!
There ist really no sense for staggered Tuner on that Headstock type.
I just hate that sea foam green color. I wish they would’ve went matte black.
1. No stainless frets.
2. No Locking tuners
3. No gig bag.
4. Not a real proper mahogany
Those are the reasons I'm not buying this.
It's high time now, companies must realize those above are the mandatory features for guitar to last longer.
But you sir, Hennings, are awesome. I enjoy your videos and a big fan of yours.
@Constantine Xipolitopoulos Yes exactly... I was going to mention that too, but thought no one cares about we the customers so I quit typing long message. Haha!
I'd prefer proper dimarzio air norton and tone zone.
Fusion edge to me seem like Ibanez pickups with dimarzio name. Just like Ibz-Dimarzio.
jazz....maybe...? welcome in my world mate....;-) i'm 46 and still trying...
Just tried this RGA42HP recently in a guitar shop for 30 seconds. Pickups were very noisy. Had to do with the wiring, but it was waaaaay off. Like "send it back ASAP" wrong. I've seen some QC issues on Iron Labels before, like bad painting or shitty fretwork here and there, but this was a new low from Ibanez. The F106 bridge isn't a premium piece either.
i think Charvel Promod dk24 is way better tahn this Ibanez.
13:30 - more practice. Use or lose.🙂
"I don't even own me: Leslie owns me." Well said. We really need a compilation of these off hand comments. Let's call it "The coveted wisdom of Henning". As for the guitar it seems nice enough. I've been gravitating towards chunky necks so it's probably a pass for me.
Give the neck a try. The Wizard III necks feel way chunkier than pretty much every other Wizard neck model. I was pleasantly surprised by them as well.
You also can hear 60's cycle hum during the opening track. Hmmmm....
Not even youtube / google search is strong enough to figure out which Ibanez guitar I am searching for when I have the freaking name of it.
So this is the RG-RNGstring? Sounds great, shame that I was looking for the RG-otherRNGstring.
Anyway, let me listen to your intro, leave a like, comment before I skip the review and keep searching.
oha.. viele schiefe Töne - was war da los?!
what a coincidence!
That's fun. Me, sitting here, looking at you and this guitar (which is looking similiar your Harley Benton signature) not believing you it's NOT your signature guitar, finding it does not even sound like yours by name, It even looks like it was made for you. This world is way too small, It seems.
Yes, us 42's have to stick together! 🎸💪💪
Ew, gold!!
I never played an RG guitar from Ibanez because I....
SLAPP!
Get solar bro.
Goodbye fender
good video, guitar no thanks
Tuners probably made by Junho
1st
Now yer just showin off .. lol kinda
If ya got it flaunt it 🤘🏽
Setup is tooooo loooooooow
Still milking the new guitar reviews? I miss the Henning that did NAMM reviews.
Those pickups sound like ass, why DiMarzio worked with Ibanez on this is beyond me Ibanez pickups have always sounded like ass.
Good lord what is the point of all that gear if you don't even verify if the guitar is in tune before recording a video lol
