An army stands before the gates of the castle, silently awaiting the call to battle. In their hands they clutch their time-worn axes, bloodied but still razor-sharp as the day they were forged. For two decades, the legion of RG warriors has grown like a virus, thrusting the RG to the head of the metal pack. Fast, flat necks, rabid pickups and double-locking trems combine to create sonic demons from beyond the world of mortals.

For over two decades, the RG has reigned as the unquestioned monarch of metal guitars. Why? Because the RG has the perfect combination of fast, flat necks, the right pickups and pickup placement, and precision trem systems to mete out creative destruction. And because the RG has evolved and expanded along with the metal genre it was designed for. The 2008 RG line offers new, striking Arctic Frost finishes, an engraved web pattern-textured top on RG420EGSBK and new Digital Camo finishes on RG370DXGP's.

Double-locking Edge III trem systems allow radical effects and sonic chaos with total tuning stability. 24-fret, thin 3-piece Wizard II necks for fast and effortless shredding.
