Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

Ibanez's RGT42FXQM is fairly good guitar. Not a brilliant one, but RGT42FXQM will serve you until you decide it's time to go for a bit more expensive guitar. You will not go wrong if you go ahead with RGT42FXQM.

Ibanez didn't go over the top with a set of features that make the RGT42FXQM what it is: a guitar that will do the job, but won't thrill you with its limited features. However, it won't let you down if you feel you can get along with what's provided. You can try and search for better solutions, but still, Ibanez's RGT42FXQM will deliver what you need in most situations.

Another reliable model from Ibanez brings us to a guitar that handles well and plays well. Finish doesn't feel bad at all, and the hardware is good. It stays in tune for most of the time, so if you take the time to adjust the action & pickups the way you want them, you will feel comfortable while playing RGT42FXQM.

This guitar will hold on really well as it is built well. Not to be battered as it is not the ultimate gigging tool; still, RGT42FXQM will perform OK in most live situations. You might feel that it will let you down in you hour of need, but in reality this guitar will do just well. Should you feel unconfident, have a backup guitar ready and you'll have no worries with Ibanez's RGT42FXQM.
