Mick Thomson chose covered V7 and V8 pickups for his MTM2 signature model to get the same classic early RG sound of his first RGs. MTM's 5pc thru-neck and mahogany body pump out full, fat tone with strong sustain, while the Edge FX Edge bridge offers double-locking stability with fixed bridge simplicity and sustain. Factory equipped with heavy strings tuned to C# tuning with a dropped B: (low to high) B-F#-B-E-G#-C#.
