Yamaha RGXA2
The most significant electric guitar design innovation to come along since the Parker Fly."
- Chris Gill, Guitar World, May 2006

"Yamaha's RGX A2 is a breath of fresh air, both visually and structurally."
- Douglas Baldwin, Guitar One, March 2006

"There's a real sense of aliveness and energy with this guitar."
- Art Thompson, Guitar Player, March 2006

The all new RGX A2 electric guitar is a marvel of modern technology. The proprietary A.I.R. (Alternative Internal Resonance) construction body, LED lit cylindrical diecast knobs, lightweight barrel tuners, and Yamaha Alnico soapbar pickups make this a high tech masterpiece that is not only stunningly beautiful, but tonally revolutionary.
the RGXA2 utilizes a lightweight wood core sandwiched between a harder, heavier wood on both the front and back of the guitar's body. Special sound tubes pass through the body so that string vibrations normally resonating only the guitar's top are transmitted through the entire body. By exciting the entire body structure and shaping the tone with the hard top and back, A.I.R. construction creates a full, powerful, and resonant tone with distinctive presence and body that are truly unique. 25th Anniversery Sale price $599.00
