RGT: The "Neck-through" Version of the Legendary RG
Designed for stage performance and precision, the RGT1220PB carries the high-performance RG DNA with the addition of a neck-through construction. This architecture enhances sustain, stability, and comfort in the upper registers, while highlighting aesthetics with a poplar burl top on an American basswood body.
Who Is It For, and What For?
Ideal for intermediate to expert guitarists playing heavy rock, modern metal, shred, fusion, and prog. Thanks to the dyna-MIX10, it also covers cleaner, snappier tones suitable for funk, pop, or indie, without sacrificing rhythmic power or lead definition.
Sound
The DiMarzio duo delivers a pronounced and versatile character: The Tone Zone at the bridge provides dense lows and present mids for tight riffs and solos that cut through the mix, while the Air Norton at the neck offers silky mids and singing highs for fluid leads and articulate cleans. The 5-way selector, combined with the "Alter" mini-switch, activates the dyna-MIX10 system with Power Tap mode, simulating a credible single-coil sound from the humbuckers. The ebony fingerboard adds attack and responsiveness, the American basswood ensures a balanced foundation, and the neck-through construction maximizes sustain. The massive and precise Edge tremolo maintains intonation even under heavy use.
