Just wanted to share with you a very cool development.
We all work hard to find the right sounds here ,and I wanted to share the best I have achieved
to date after many experiments .
Step 1)put a DMZ air norton in the neck of the RG and wired it in parallel
Set the pup a little lower than usual
result= glassy stratlike blues and cleans -just an awesome sound
Step 2)did Roadstar's tone zone mod for the bridge

This guy's a genius .I am grateful to him for this nugget of wisdom
I was almost ready to swap out the tone zone ,because of the
overbearing nature of the sound .
(This mod is way better than the parallel sound )
It kept most of the balls of the original tonezone and yes....
removed bass and added clarity .
The number one complaint with the tone zone ..
Sustain is great,tone is outstanding, clarity is great -sacrificed the crazy harmonics for this ,but this is not a big deal to me because the harmonics are still excellent -just not as prevalent every time you pick a note-they sound more natural to me now..
Do steps one and two above and you can turn a cheap axe into a godly instrument of rock and roll ...
At least in my opinion .
I am now finally inspired to play every time I pick up the guitar to play clean or overdrive -I'm loving it ...
Best of luck,
