The RG1200 was the first modern (i.e. post-1987) RG model to have a four digit model number. A four digit model number later became a common signature of the upscale Prestige line, which was introduced in 1996. It was among the first RG models to sport the sculpted all access neck joint, which has since become a standard feature for guitars in the series. The RG1200 was offered only in the USA and was discontinued after just one year. It is considered by some as the progenitor of the Prestige line. Specifications for RG1200 (1992)
