"Yamaha's
RGX A2 is a breath of fresh air, both visually and structurally."

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