Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? It's made very well. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Seems study and built nice. Overall Your general opinion of this product. Best in it's class for the money. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Very chunky. Neck was not bad for a guitar in it's class. The EQ switch was an added bonus. It's super light and thin and that was awesome. The bridge looks like it will last forever. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? All of the above. Pickups were awesome. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Great. Action How was the action out of the box? Setup was great. Very low action.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Well made for the most part...but the battery compartment was not drilled right....the wood was chipped and the screw doesn't hold well Reliability How has it stood up over time? Its built to withstand alot of punishment..great metal guitar. Overall Your general opinion of this product. Overall, I'm impressed. It's a powerhouse. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Its really well-balanced. The neck is a bit beefier than my Destroyer..took a bit getting used to but I definitely like it Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? It kicks! Pups are very hot..big step up from passives Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The paint job is awesome..very sharp and nice curves... Action How was the action out of the box? Needed a bit of tweaking..had to lower the action and set up the intonation, but once its dialed in..watch out!
Love it!

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? The '42 appears to be a well made guitar, however the marred paint job shows a lack of attention to detail. Which effects the quality of the product. Ya think the guy who put his inspection tag on it would have done something about it. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Had it for little less than a month, and no problems so far. Overall Your general opinion of this product. The RGA42FM is great for Rock and Metal!! It won't disappoint you. The EQ switch is a very nice addition and relevant to the way the guitar sounds. Very easy guitar to figure out and proves that less is more. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Neck is fast. The controls don't seem to get in the way during quick play. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? This part I may have trouble with the correct verbage. The '42 sounds clear, smooth, and distinctive on a clean channel amp w/o effects or the EQ switch engaged. Using a BOSS Metal Zone MT-2 pedal, thru a clean amp, the '42 growls. With the EQ switch engaged the distortion is fuller. Hope that helps. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The guitar AMS sent me has a light spot on the quilt top, under the clearcoat. Looks like someone used a pencil eraser and partially removed the color. The neck is unfinished and as this is my first unfinished neck, I'm a little concerned with it becoming discolored over time. Action How was the action out of the box? Intenation was off a bit, but not by much.
