The body of the RG5121-BCF is made of African mahogany. A Makassar ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty-four jumbo stainless steel frets is glued to a fast neck with a Super Wizard HP profile composed of five pieces of maple and wenge. 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.
Two Fishman Fluence active humbuckers with ceramic magnets give the guitar a dynamic, aggressive sound ideal for modern strains of metal and core styles with excellent tone articulation, refined character and minimal noise. Standard adjustments include volume potentiometers, tone controls and a three-position pickup switch. A switch located between the potentiometers can be used to switch between two pickup voicings.
Tuning stability and quick string changes are guaranteed by anchoring the strings in Gotoh MG-T Locking mechanisms and through a solid Gibraltar Standard II bridge through the body of the instrument. The guitar's stylish design is accentuated by the burgundy metallic finish and Cosmo Black hardware.
The guitar is supplied in a case.
