The body of the RG5170G-SVF is made of lime wood. A fast neck with a Super Wizard HP profile composed of five pieces of maple and wenge is glued to a Makassar ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty-four jumbo stainless steel frets. Their treated edges provide guitarists with greater playing comfort (Prestige fret edge treatment). Orientation around the fingerboard surface is facilitated by offset mother-of-pearl position dots (Mother-of-Pearl) and luminescent dots on the side.
Three active Fishman pickups with ceramic and Alnico magnets, i.e. two Fluence Modern humbuckers and a single-coil center pickup, give the guitar a dynamic, aggressive sound with excellent tone articulation and minimal noise (ideal for modern offshoots of metal and core styles), while also providing a warm, clean tone. Standard adjustments include volume potentiometers, tone controls and a five-position pickup switch. The palette of sounds can be expanded by toggling the Voicing switch (switch positions 1 and 5 only).
The strings are housed in Gotoh tuning machines and a Lo-Pro Edge double-turn tremolo, which you use to embellish your playing with impressive sound effects. Locks on the zero fret ensure tuning stability when using the tremolo lever frequently. The stylish look of the instrument is accentuated by gold hardware and Silver Flat finish.
The guitar is supplied in a case.
