The Blade RH4 impresses with its stunning design and high-end features, making it a boutique-level guitar at a competitive price. Its unique Falcon tremolo system and versatile Variable Spectrum Control (VSC) offer exceptional playability and tonal options, appealing to both studio and stage guitarists. While the painted neck may not suit everyone, the impeccable build quality and luxurious finishes, like the Misty Violet, ensure it stands out.

According to Premier Guitar's article, Rothery is the user of the Blade RH4. He used Blades from 1991 onwards, according to 2022 guitarguitar interview:

No, they’re absolutely fine! My two main guitars are that one and every album from 1991 onwards is my (Levinson) Blade Strat, an RH-4. Again that is just one in a million. You can’t get a bad sound out of it, it’s incredibly versatile, incredibly stable and those two guitars are what I do 95% of my live work with.
