Components include DiMarzio pickups with Air Norton and Tone Zone humbuckers mounted directly to the body flanking a True Velvet single-coil, an Edge double locking tremolo bridge and Gotoh tuning machines.

The RG3070BR is a similar model with a Brazilian rosewood top and fretboard. The RG3050 is a similar model with a pickguard. The RG3321 is a related hard-tail model without the middle pickup.
