2003, neck thru, 24 jumbo frets, Black Pearl metallic. Looks great but lets get to the important stuff.
Stock INF1 and INF2 humbuckers, 5 pos switch, LO TRS II trem. Screw on bar, bound neck, neck thru body construction. This guitar is 100% stock. All I did was give it a good set up.
Here are the important things you need to know about this guitar from a guy who really puts his guitars through the ringer. I am a very heavy bar user and regularly spend 8 hours sessions in the studio so playability and tuning stability are extremely important. So is tone. If it doesn't sound good.. whats the point.
How does it sound? Great. The INF1 and INF2 pickups are just as good as any of the Dimarzio, Seymour Duncan, Bill Lawrence and Bartolini pickups my other guitars have.
How does it play? The action is outstanding, slinky with just the right amount of tension, no dead frets, no fretting out, and it has no tonal weak spots on any fret.
How is that so-called piece of crap Lo TRS II trem? Stays in tune perfectly, very reactive, pull ups or push downs it always returns to pitch, the low profile doesn't get in the way of my pick hand. I would rate this trem an 8 out of 10 only because my RG550's have Edge's on them with pop in bars and they are 10's.
Basically, the RGT42BP is an outstanding guitar. I would rank it just as good as any Carvin 6 string neck thru I have ever owned. Incredible bang for the buck. Amazing actually.
There you have it.
