The RG1570/RG1550M can dial in any tone, from crystal clear to searing and nasty, thanks to its V7 neck pickup, S1 middle pickup and V8 bridge pickup combination.
To avoid the problem of string holder blocks getting lost during string changes, the Edge-Pro’s sliding string holders are actually part of the bridge and won’t drop from the saddle unit
With the Edge-Pro design, there s no need to cut off the ball end of your strings when installing new strings.
The Edge-Pro features a unique Sound Metal Chip on each saddle which helps increase sustain right at the most critical area, the intonation point.
