Yamaha RGX A2 Electric Guitar

When Yamaha were designing the RGXA2, their luthiers focussed on developing a lightweight instrument that would bring the guitar and player closer together. This central theme was on providing the player with greater freedom, much like an air guitar, breaking down the boundaries between what is in the player's head and what comes out of the amp.

In creating a lighter guitar, one absolute condition set down was that sound quality could not be sacrificed. For this reason, a great deal of time and effort went into the creation of numerous prototypes. The A2 project had to combine three crucial factors - great sound, light weight, and sufficient strength to withstand the huge forces generated by strings under tension. Intensive research and development led to the creation of A.I.R. (Alternative Internal Resonance) technology. Although it uses a solid body design, the incredible resonance created by the unique construction method produces a big, open sound that resonates throughout the guitar's entire body.

Original pickups were developed with the custom shop at Yamaha Artist Services, Hollywood. The A2 pickups perfectly compliment the tonal characteristics of the A.I.R. body. Designed with the input of some of the world's greatest guitar players, the A2's powerful tone belies its light weight.

As a masterful modern touch, the single volume control and 3 position rotary pickup selector are joined by LEDs surrounding the volume control, providing bright visual indication of the pickup in use. Looks amazing too!
