Ibanez rgt42fm opinions

[Knucklehead]

Hey, im thinking about buying an ibanez, i cant afford a 1570, but i can get an rgt42fm. i played one at the music store today and i loved the feel of the neck, they didnt have a 1570 in stock so i couldnt try it out. So anyways im wondering if the rgt42 is a good buy, if anyone has any expirience playing one if you could let me know what you think of the guitar i'd apreciate it. thanks

this has to be like the greatest playing guitar i own. i barely ever play mine though because im not into metal but ive been keeping it around just in case i ever go back. the action on these can be set up so low and it plays like a shreders dream. i have the rgt42 that dosent have the flame top, i like the looks of the one with the flame top but i dont like the trem as much.

I just got the RG 1570 for X-mas and I love it. I played several of the Ibanez models with the WIzard II neck and wasn't wild about them. I was thinking about getting an ESP KH 203. Wife surprised me with this guitar. I think the Wizard Prestige neck is worth the extra 100 bucks or so they want for it. I got mine at Guitar Center Seattle for $560.00. The prestige neck is, in my opinion far superior to the Wizard II. I like playing this guitar better than my old Les Paul Deluxe (something I thought I'd never say). Also the Edge Pro bridge is pretty nice. I don't have enough experience with tremolos to say whether its better or worse than anything else but I like it. I don't know what they want for the RGt 42. If you like the neck it would probably be worth it to get the nech through the body! Good luck!
