To me, the Double-Edge is worth more than a maple top... it's more functional. They're both beautiful guitars, but I would go for the 2020. Actually, I will go for the 2020 when I get around to buying another guitar.
Assuming i install PAF Pro and Tone Zone on the RG2020, will there be any difference in tone and sound between the 2020 and 3120? (both mahogany bodies)
Man I had the same question about a month ago. I tried both of the guitars out. The one I chose was the 2020 It is such a sweet axe. Dont get me wrong i love a flame top, but piezo is by far the best thing about these guitars. Plus the side dots on the 3120 are not somthing I desire. Also the 2020 sounds a little fater to me. Probably because it is all mahogany..
Anyway through those new pickups in there and you wont regret it.
just my pennys

Yeah. Go with the 2020 if you´re prepared to swap the pups!!! I have a 2027 (bought it last summer) and that´s a beauty. I just had to get new pickups ´cause the stock pups sounded horrible. I can´t wait to get my ToneZone7 and Blaze!!
I too have a 2027 and swaped for the Blaze p/u's the thing is my favorite 7-string. The 2020 that I have has more of a U shaped neck than the 2027. Dont let this fool you it is still a very very very fast guitar. Its just dosnt have as slim a neck as say the Jem's. For me I like a little thicker neck anyway. That way its more comfortable in my palm. Just not too big then it slows me down. I would say the 2020 is the perfect medium.
Go to the 7-string forum.
There´s a topic that has a sample of that piezo sound. It sounds REAL!!! Like an original acoustic guitar.
OoDee
