The Korena take
Finished in Transparent Deep Blue Flat, the RG653DX combines an ash solidbody with a slim, bolt-on Super Wizard HP maple/walnut neck. It is a Japanese-made 6-string with a bound rosewood fingerboard, 24 jumbo frets, an Edge tremolo, and Gotoh tuners. The Air Norton neck humbucker and Tone Zone bridge humbucker offer distinctly voiced positions, while the five-way selector lets you change pickup sounds quickly. Its direct master-volume and master-tone controls suit players who want an uncluttered working layout for technical rock or metal parts.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fast rock and metal playing with technical passages, bends, vibrato, and wide fretting stretches
- Studio or stage setups requiring multiple pickup voices from a simple control arrangement
- Players using tremolo-based vibrato techniques alongside high-gain rhythm and lead work
