The theme of the RG08LTD is "Sakura Blast" with a clear pickguard engraved with a cherry blossom design. It has a basswood body with black finish and red binding bolted to a maple Wizard II neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with white dot position markers.

The clear pickguard is simply screwed to the top; the pickups are not mounted in the guard and the controls are mounted from the rear.
