Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
This RG5121-BCF is a seriously shred-worthy instrument. The combination of a mahogany body, super-thin neck, and high-output Fishman pickups makes it a powerhouse for modern rock, metal, and progressive styles. It's perfect for players who prioritize speed and a versatile tonal palette, but appreciate a more traditional ST-style aesthetic.

Frequently Asked Questions
The voicing switch toggles between a ceramic-driven, aggressive tone and an AlNiCo-based, warmer, more vintage-inspired sound, offering significant tonal flexibility.
While incredibly fast, the thin neck profile takes some getting used to; it's generally better suited for players with some experience.
The locking hardware provides exceptional tuning stability, reducing slippage and making string changes quicker and easier.
