The RT-45 is a great starter guitar from Revelation! Revelation is a British company that produces a wide range of electric guitars and basses with innovative and modern technology for great prices. The RT-45 is a semi-hollow body guitar. This means that the body of the guitar isn’t made of solid wood but it also isn’t completely hollow. A semi-hollow body guitar has hollow compartments in the body. This is an interesting system; the vibrations of the strings will first be caught in the hollow compartments where they’ll resonate and then they’ll be noticed by the pickups. This will result in a unique sound, which will be full and bright with an amazing sustain. The guitar has three Alan Entwistle HV58 humbuckers which will produce a full and hot sound. Furthermore, the guitar is made of sturdy materials. The body is made of mahogany and has a maple top. Mahogany is a great choice as it makes for a sturdy foundation and produces a warm and powerful sound. The maple top is mostly for aesthetics, as it has a beautiful woodgrain which will provide a vintage appearance. The guitar also has a mahogany neck and a Lignum-Rosa fretboard. Mahogany is very popular for guitar necks as it’s sturdy but also feels great. Lignum-Rosa is a relatively new tonewood which is often used as a more sustainable alternative to rosewood. Moreover, the RT-45 has a C-shape neck which is known to be more comfortable and is also suitable for players with smaller hands. You can adjust the pickups with the two volume knobs, the two tone knobs, and the three-way switch.
