The RGA32 is an RGA series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2009. It was among the first models with the arch-top RGA body outside of the high-end Prestige line. It was produced in Indonesia.

This RGA32 features a mahogany body bolted to a maple neck with a 24-fret bound rosewood fingerboard with dot position markers. Components include dual Ibanez LoZ3 humbucking pickups and a hard-tail bridge.

For 2011 this RGA32 was replaced by an updated model with several changes including a new body shape with deeper horn scoops, a new neck and new pickups.
