Origins
The RG guitars with fixed bridges were introduced to the market following the demand of various artists for an RG guitar without a tremolo. The RG "fixed" series are basically regular RG guitars but with fixed bridges (i.e. excluding the tremolo). This series offers thru-body stringing for improved sound and sustain. The fixed bridge does make it harder to perform string bends, but in return gives more tuning stability, as well as an altogether warmer and rounder sound than the RG Tremolo series. The bodies are made of mahogany as in Gibson's Les Paul and SG series, or basswood.

Famous quotes containing the word origins:
“The origins of clothing are not practical. They are mystical and erotic. The primitive man in the wolf-pelt was not keeping dry; he was saying: “Look what I killed. Aren’t I the best?””
—Katharine Hamnett (b. 1948)
“Lucretius
Sings his great theory of natural origins and of wise conduct; Plato
smiling carves dreams, bright cells
Of incorruptible wax to hive the Greek honey.”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
“Grown onto every inch of plate, except
Where the hinges let it move, were living things,
Barnacles, mussels, water weeds—and one
Blue bit of polished glass, glued there by time:
The origins of art.”
—Howard Moss (b. 1922)
