The RG8 has a neck specification aimed at high-performance, speed, and comfortability. It features a Wizard II-8 neck that is thin, flat, and smooth, yet strong and sturdy. This allows for easy and comfortable playing. On top sits a fretboard that features twenty-four frets. This offers a wide tonal range to experiment with for the perfect solos.
