After 30 years, RG range is coming back to its roots, with the Genesis Collection. The brand new series is made up of three models (RG570, RG550, RG521) and is made in Japan (like the original RG). RG521 is the most affordable of the three, mostly due to having a simpler construction and the lack of a middle pickup. The only currently available hardtail Genesis axe comes in Jewel Blue and Black options, both of which are finished in gloss and equipped with black hardware and plastics (they also rock matching headstock veneers). Main construction features include a solid basswood body, a 5-piece maple/walnut neck (Super Wizard profile, tilt joint), a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard (dot inlays, 1.69" wide string nut, 16.9" radius), a Gibraltar Standard bridge, Custom Shop pickups, and locking tuners.
