The RGR5221 features an ash top on an African mahogany body bolted to a maple and wenge neck with a reverse headstock and a Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 stainless steel frets, offset mother of pearl dot position markers and luminescent side dots.

For 2025 the bridge was changed to Gibraltar Standard III.
