yea im basically down to two very similar guitars the ibanez RGT42 and the ibanez RGT42DX the differences arent huge they have different choice in colors I like the red pearl finish on the RGT42 and the RGT42DX has the "2 tone sharktooth inlay" which i think looks pretty cool. but i think the biggest difference is the the woods they both have a 5 peice maple/walnut neck with rosewood fingerboards but the wings on the RGT42 are basswood and the wings on the RGT42DX are mahogany. but the music stores around me only have one RGT42 and and no DX but the RGT42 is usually 770$ canadian but its 30 percent off and i looked at it theres nothing wrong with it its in perfect condition it plays great but i dont know if i should get it because there is the RGT42DX out there that i havent tried
