PICKUP SWITCH

OUTPUT JACK

Designed with Ty Tabor of Kings X and YAMAHA. The ultra sleek body design with aggressively tapered basswood wings and the stepped maple center are key to the focused midrange and tight, low-end frequencies which are further enhanced by Seymour Duncan Pick ups, and the Wilkinson VS100 Tremolo. This guitar is designed for Heavy sounds that deliver in any tuning format. This is one guitar that demands your attention. If you see it, you will have to move in for a closer look and once you pick it up you will need to own it.

Coil Splitter Switch (coil capacitor cut)
This push push switch changes the bridge pick up from a full humbucker sound to a punchy single coil sound for increased tonal selections.

Ty Tabor Drop6 Model

The new RGXTT Drop 6 model shares the same construction, materials and cosmetics (excluding the fingerboard inlays) as the RGXTT designed with Ty Tabor of Kings X and YAMAHA. The Drop 6 Concept is based on the very popular down tuning trend, which is so important for the heavy sounds of music today. You dont have to re-learn how to play guitar on a wider neck with an extra string in order to tune down to B. The Drop 6 allows you to play your riffs the way you learned them without changing your right hand attack and left hand finger positions. The longer scale (26.25") and the heavier string gauges are the key to the Drop 6 experience.

Side Adjuster

Truss rod adjustment is easily accomplished with the side adjuster. Just use an Allen wrench on the adjuster conveniently located at the base of the neck.
