This particular variant comes in Misty Green finish with an Amaranth (Purple Heart) fingerboard, offering both visual appeal and durable playing surface. The control layout is straightforward with single volume and tone knobs, making it easy to dial in sounds without complication. With its six-bolt neck attachment and dual-action truss rod, the Ray2 is built to withstand regular use while maintaining proper setup. It arrives strung with .045-.105 gauge strings, ready to play straight out of the box for practice, recording, or live performance situations.
