Made in Japan by the Fujigen factory in 2001, this RG2127X is apparently one of only 300 made (according to sources). These were one of the higher end models from the Prestige line and were only sold within Japan.
Listed as a "Transparent Black Flat" finish (that presents as more of a brown oiled finish), these feature a mahogany neck bolted to a Wizard-7 profile three-piece maple neck and 24 fret rosewood fingerboard (50mm nut width, 648mm scale length), it weighs 3.5kg's.
The RG2127X has dual output jacks. A small push-button controls these outputs. When this switch is in the up position the signal is split with the piezo going only to the upper jack and the magnetic pickup signal going only to the lower jack. When the push-button switch is down the upper jack is disabled and the lower jack provides signal from either the piezo or magnetic pickups based on the position of the 2-way mini toggle switch.
As wired from the factory there is no ability to mix the piezo and magnetic signals through a single jack. A popular aftermarket modification (documented by Kevan J. Geier, thus known as the KJG mod) replaces the 2-way toggle with a 3-way on/on/on toggle which allows the player to send either the piezo, magnetic or both signals to a single jack.

This one arrived in a very sorry state and received a full professional teardown, deep clean and rebuild prior to being listed. Fully functional electronics, the frets have some pitting but play smoothly and the neck is straight with a fully functional truss rod. The saddles and bridge have heavy patina but still adjust freely.
