Some high-end models use a neck-through-body design. Some come with Yamaha active pickups, two single coils and one humbucker. Most of these instruments were generally known as RGZ, including the RGZ820R, a custom plaid graphic model with two humbuckers and a Floyd Rose licensed locking tremolo, played by rock guitarist Blues Saraceno.
