The RX40 is a solid body electric guitar introduced by Ibanez in 1994. It is part of the entry level RX series. It was among the most affordable models offered.

The RX40 features a plywood maple body bolted to a maple neck with a 22-fret maple fingerboard with dot position markers. Components include a synchronized tremolo bridge and Ibanez Powersound pickups in an HSS configuration.

The RX60 is a very similar model with a tortoise shell pickguard.

This RX40 was replaced for 1996 with a substantially different version.
