Components include a pair of Ibanez Super 58 covered humbucking pickups mounted in ivory pickup rings, a Hard Rocker Pro single locking tremolo bridge, Sure Grip II control knobs and Smooth Tuner II tuning machines.

The first generation RS1010SL Steve Lukather signature is a related model with a different bridge pickup and control layout and a ebony fretboard.
