Yamaha RGX A2 (Part 2)

The RGX A2 features are eccentric to say the least. The tuners you see here are definitely unconventional but they fit into the theme of 'departure'; almost every appointment in this guitar is a move-away from the traditional. These barrel-type tuners are not exclusive to this instrument, when Jackson had the Roswell Rhoads guitar in manufacture years ago, these were the standard fittings but they were exclusively manufactured by Sperzel. The A2's tuners are definitely not a named brand, at best, they might be a Sperzel OEM unit.

In use, the tuners are surprisingly responsive, well, they have to be, otherwise they would be a futile inclusion. The pinching needs a little getting used to because it doesn't feel as conventional as the standard tuners but these are definitely functional.
