Not for the faint of heart. Bare Knuckle are known for their cutting edge pickup design, and the hand wound Brute Force pickups in the RGR5220M are no exception. Offering high gain saturation and dynamic tones, they bring out the best of this guitar's sound, and will work incredibly well for heavier music. If you're looking for clarity and definition, you'll find that these pickups perform exceptionally well. The bridge humbucker will produce a high output, powerful tone which is rich with crispness and pure mid-range power. The neck humbucker will make your lead licks drip with richness and a full bodied, smoother sound.
A three way pickup selector allows you to switch between each humbucker with ease, making changing between lead and rhythm playing a total breeze. The coil tap switch allows you to reduce the output of each humbucker for a more vintage style sound, giving you a wealth of tonal options to play with. You'll find that these innovative, powerful pickups are responsive to your playing, and will greatly complement your playing style.
Tonewoods for professionals. The woods which have been carefully selected for the body and neck of the RG5220M are beyond exceptional, giving it heaps of resonance and a balanced tonal response. The top consists of ash which sounds relatively bright, whilst the body is made from warmer sounding African mahogany, which creates a diverse tonal response. Both woods give distorted and clean tones plenty of bite, whilst also adding a level of richness and depth which you would only find in a high end guitar.
It doesn't stop at the body, though. The neck tonewoods also have a huge impact on guitar's unique sound. Made from maple and wenge, the neck has a luxurious feel and look, whilst adding plenty of brightness to the guitar's sound. This is only enhanced further by the birdseye maple fretboard, which helps each note you play ring with sustain and a powerful mid-range. The Super Wizard HP neck design will make your playing experience superb every time, allowing you to slide between notes/chords with impeccable ease.
Play without boundaries. Coming fitted with a quality Lo-Pro edge tremolo bridge and whammy bar, the RGR5220M will allow you to do an unlimited number of divebombs without affecting your tuning. The bridge's streamlined design provide exceptional comfort, and the fine tuners allow you to easily adjust the tuning at a moment's notice. Jumbo stainless steel frets not only complement the bright tone of this guitar, but are also incredibly durable, being designed to handle an endless amount of string bending and shredding. This guitar will also be playable in the dark, given that it has luminlay side dots which glow in the absence of light (incredibly handy for dark stages/venues). Being topped off with a transparent fluorescent green finish and cosmo black hardware, it is as visually striking as it is sonically beautiful.
