Me too. The big dots on my 550 and 520 look HUGE now.

Mods = Lundgren M7 in bridge, Graph Tech String Saver Saddles, Hipshot bridge (not installed at time of photos), custom mirror pickguard, truss cover, cavity cover. Replaced all pots and the switch, too. Oh, and there's the 'Om Mani Padme Hum' decal under the bridge and again on the back, both in mirror.

I can't remember if I've posted this yet... I did a thread about it when it arrived but I haven't posted it on this thread IIRC, so here goes.



Basically just a bog-standard 7321, but I've emailed the guy from Perle Guitars to see if he can do a custom Iceman-shaped body to fit all the stock hardware. If it's possible for a decent price, I'm ....ing doing it.

Quick question lads regarding the older bridge on the 7321(strat style). Where would one go about purchasing smaller screws for the saddles or is there a set of replacement saddles i could buy that would allow me to have a low action but with the screws stick out of the saddles and wrecking ny hand? I was looking at these...

eBay.ie: GRAPHTECH STRING SAVER SADDLES STRAT IMPORT 7 STRING (item 360206441351 end time 05-Mar-11 00:32:44 GMT)

But i dont if they would make any difference? Any help would be great cheers!

WOW, now that is the nicest looking RG7321 i have ever seen

nice ....in job man

[synrgy]

I got the pickguard from this place:

Pickguard Paradise items - Get great deals on items on eBay Stores!

I also later ordered one for a project I did on an RG320DX, installing a Graphtech Hexpander MIDI kit and tremolo, which also came out looking awesome. The one on the 7321 is 'clear' mirror, and the one on the 320DX pictured below is 'black' mirror:



Before anyone asks () the 'Om Mane Padme Hum' decals came from Best-Decals.com, Your One-Stop Decal-Shop, but they don't seem to actually make them any more. I must have bought mine *just* in time.

[Dalton]

I just bought one... pics to follow.

[aleXander]

I talked to my uncle last night, he said he's been trying to fix the pickup routes for me a lil better. Apparently I didn't do it right lol. Anywho will be done in a another month or so ><lol

Nope, those are her's too.....but I can listen to some Jackyl on occasion.

[juliangallows]

Well just sealed the deal on a 2004 rg1527cb. Gonna drop some BK aftermaths in & do a brass block trem upgrade & it should be good to go. Judging from the specs I should love the neck profile, but one thing I have getting mixed signals on is if the back of the neck is finished or satin?????
Anyone have any insight????

[MikeH]

I guess you could call it satin. I just take some steel wool to mine and take off the majority of the "gloss", so to speak.

Yeah, I may have to do that. My s7420 is finished but really slick, almost an oiled feel. I was hoping that the 1527 would have more of a satin feel similar to newer MIA fender strato's. But sometimes nothing beats the feel of raw wood.

[tubarao guitars]

OKAY guys, are you ready for a epic picstory of my 1527?

yeahhh
This is my 07' 1527 just the day i bough it spanking brand new.
This was my first UNOPENED BOX QUEEN and i have owned at least 30 or 40 guitars, all second hand.
Let's enjoy it:

Then, i've made my very own bobbin toppers, just to match my purple DiMarzio straplock:
