Ibanez RGA42FM-TGF

Just a straight up good guitar, nothing too crazy but also nothing bad, which makes it perfect for someone starting up. The build quality is also very good, as far as i can tell, so this guitar is a great modding platform, and it thus never becomes obsolete, so it can stay with you in the long run. I dont see any real reason to replace it, i might just upgrade the pickups since i now have a more specific sound im looking for. Sounds are also very versatile, although i have heard the pickups are not the best, they are just fine and with a couple of upgrades this thing can become a monster, as it grows with you as a guitar player.

I did have a couple problems though, namely the 2nd string when open would ring out annoyingly, probably was a problem with the nut, dissappeared when i changed strings. Also i feel like the high E slips of the fretboard too easily because theres not much space for you to bend or vibrato or whatever but maybe im just bad.

The finish is fine, as seen in pictures, maybe just 1 or 2 small imperfections here and there but thats to be expected and personally doesn't bother me at all.

This was my first guitar, and as someone who doesn't have any experience other than this, you should take my words with a grain of salt, but i am very satisfied with this guitar, i have had it for about 6 months now, i havent had any serious problems and i can pretty much play anything i want, from like arctic monkeys to gojira.
