"SUNSET"
With this instrument, our Japan Custom Shop was aiming to create an idealized version of the venerable RG, but with one very unique variation: a medium scale length. The RG’s standard scale length is 25.5”, but this guitar features a 24.75” scale length. The body size is also ever so slightly scaled down to mesh perfectly with the smaller size. The overall effect is an RG that is even more nimble and faster playing than its full-sized siblings. Visually, it’s hard to describe the guitar as anything other than stunning. The exotic Quilted Maple top totally comes to life under the illumination of the Transparent Orange finish, giving off the feeling of a summer sunset. The kinetic electricity of the front of the instrument is also beautifully complemented by the reserved, rich, and understated nature of the back of the 3pc Wenge/Purpleheart neck, which is also paired to an Ebony fretboard that features stainless steel frets.
