High performance pickups
The tone of virtuosos. Each DiMarzio pickup in this guitar offers you a world of sound with which you can create your own voice on the guitar. The Tone Zone in the bridge position will give you all the punch and clarity you could ever wish for, facilitating tight, defined, rhythmic riffs which will roar with power. An Air Norton in the neck position will bring your lead licks into a new realm, making them sing with tonal richness and clarity. As such, you'll be able to play with unbridled precision, even when shredding like a maniac. And there's a coil tap switch which lets you unlock the twangy, sparkling tones of a single coil as you desire. These pickups form the foundation of the outstanding tone offered by this superb model.

Macassar magic
Pure majesty. Macassar ebony is one of the finest fretboard materials in the world. Your fingers will feel caressed by its smoothness and flawless feel. Fret movements will be natural and free whilst your fingers glide along effortlessly. Offering a bright resonance of its own as well as plenty of note sustain, your music will be ablaze with astonishing articulation and bold bite. Reach your full potential.
Shining out
Lock and load. A professional standard Lo-Pro Edge bridge gives the RG8520 holds your strings locked in a vice grip. It also allows unlimited whammy bar action, so you can put some volcanic vibrato into your riffs.
