LACS9 - "ECHO" Build
The name Echo, is derived from the hollowed out body wings of this guitar and how if one found themselves alone in any type of chamber, they might hear an echo or two. Even out of sight, the hidden hollow body construction may be the most unique feature of this RG8. While the choice was primarily made for increased warmth and resonance, it also greatly reduced the overall weight of the instrument. At 7.5 pounds, this may very well be the lightest 8-string RG ever built.
An unusual feature of the RG8 is a modified take on the classic bolt-on neck pocket. The box set neck construction provides a fuller and tighter contact between the neck and body, allowing for excellent resonance throughout the entire range of the instrument.
