General

The white and grey Yamaha RGXA2 is an exceptionally lightweight electric guitar. At approximately 2.5 kg, it weighs about a third less than a regular guitar, which makes it ideal for those endless live gigs. Even during shorter playing sessions, however, you'll notice the benefits of such a comfortably lightweight instrument. Despite weighing next to nothing, the Yamaha RGXA2 produces a sound to be reckoned with; its well-resonating body ensures a spacious, open tone.

The lightweight body of the RGXA2

The RGXA2 is a great example of Yamaha's A.I.R body concept, which means this electric guitar actually has a solid body that consists of a lightweight wooden core surrounded by two layers of hardwood. To enhance resonance, three sound tubes were mounted underneath the bridge: metal tubes that run towards the back of the guitar to make sure the sound is effectively transferred to the instrument's body. The RGXA2 owes its warm yet clear, vintage sound to two Alnico V humbucker pickups.

Tasteful simplicity

To complement its lightweight body and light finish, Yamaha fitted this durable guitar with a light, high-grade bridge, reducing protruding screws to a minimum so there's more room for your right hand. The instrument itself has a stylish, minimalistic look, featuring a fretboard without position markers and only two controls: a volume knob and a 3-way pickup selector knob. The LEDs around the volume knob tell you which pickup has been selected. We hate to state the obvious, but with the stunning RGXA2, Yamaha has issued yet another unique, reliable instrument.

Wrote the following about Yamaha RGXA2 electric guitar white

De RGX A2 was in 2006 zijn tijd al ver vooruit, de toegepaste technieken zijn anno 2017 nog steeds niet geevenaard. Op de fotoos is niet te zien hoe mooi deze gitaar werkelijk is. Prachtig hoogglans wit en aparte kleur grijs.

Ik was al jaren op zoek naar een goede gitaar, waar ik langer dan 2 uur mee kon spelen zonder last van mijn schouder te krijgen. De gitaar is iets zwaard dan een acoustische. Met deze gitaar kan ik een dag spelen zonder klachten!

De hals is breed, iets breder dan een Fender, zeer dun en razendsnel. Ik kan nu sneller spelen dan ooit tevoren. Door de bijzondere tuners ontstemd de gitaar niet snel, al gebeurd dat bij mijn gitaar speelstijl toch nog wel. Ik buig vaak de snaren.

De pickups klinken bijzonde strak in de brug stand, de pickup bij de nek mooi vol en gedefinieerd. P90 a like, alhoewel ze als Alnico worden bestempeld. Weinig tot geen ruis. Snel schakelen tussen de pickups is niet mogelijk, doordat er een draai knop is gebruikt. Voor mij geen enkel probleem. Het lampje is voor de sier, om het publiek te laten zien welke pickup stand je gebruikt. De schakelaars zijn mooi laag in de gitaar gebouwd zodat je er niet snel aan blijft hangen.

Al had deze gitaar 800 Euro had gekost, had ik het ook geloofd.
