Blade - RS-4 Standard - Left-Handed
FROM THE LEGENDARY GARY LEVINSON...
THE BLADE 'RS-4'Introducing Blade’s flagship RS-4, from the esteemed ‘Blade’ guitars, founded by industry icon Gary Levinson.
In 1987 Mr Levinson set forth to create his own range of guitars focussing on the highest integrity build, alongside the most innovative developments. Later that year, Blade guitars were unveiled to expectant eyes and ears at the Tokyo Music Show, and the rest, as they say…is history.
Fast forward to the present day, and the results of Gary’s unwavering commitment to building the finest quality guitars, full of revolutionary innovations are plain to see in guitars such as this, the Blade RS-4. The RS-4 features show-stopping ‘Faded Misty-Violet’ finish, truly prestigious components and the ground-breaking ‘Variable Spectrum Control’ (VSC). The VSC hugely versatile means of shaping the guitars tone, Adjustable Tension Guide (ATG), and other innovations such as the ‘EZ Access Neck Rod’ for quick and simple access to the truss rod.
This is a truly professional guitar, steeped in prestige, for the guitarist who seeks killer tones, show-stopping looks and flawless playability! The ‘RS-4’ has modern features, functionalities and a gorgeous aesthetic, but with a classic vibe that feels inexplicably familiar when you pick up this spectacular guitar. The RS-4 from Blade is the definitive manifestation of comfort enhancing ergonomics, ingenuity, show-stopping looks, perfect balance and unmatched tone.
A Guitar Steeped with Prestige
rosewood fretboardThe RS-4’s breath-taking body is undoubtedly spectacular, there can be no argument about this. Wrapped up in slender curves, comfortable contours and sleek routing for both maximum comfort and maximum aesthetic. The body is made from ‘Swamp Ash’, which is part responsible for the magnificent finish on the RS-4.
Tonally, Swamp Ash strikes a fine balance between brightness and warmth, and imparts articulation and presence hugely well. Swamp Ash is famed for taking so well to a guitars finish, the RS-4 is a shining example of this. Together with its sepia-tinged scratch plate, you’d be hard pressed to find a better-looking guitar than Blade’s flagship RS-4!
Adjustable Tension Guide
UNMATCHED SUSTAINThe RS-4 is packing some truly revolutionary technology. For example, the ‘Adjustable Tension Guide’ (ATG), this ATG technology, is unique to Blade guitars. It comprises of a small, spring loaded, height adjustable string tree which sits between the 1st and 2nd strings. This feature allows tension adjustment to compensate for the difference between various string gauges.
Furthermore, its asymmetric shape places slightly greater pressure to the 1st string than the 2nd, this design results in incredible sustain and minimum friction eliminating the majority of detuning problems.
