A large box appeared at my door...(maybe 56K, don't take my word for it)

wannabguitarist · 05-01-2008, 12:08 AM

So I found this gigantic box outside my house earlier this afternoon:

I gleefully ripped it open to find this:

I don't think the poodle even knows what it is

This is a familiar shape...

OMG its a guitar! I must free it!

These should work

Oh yea, I won this on Ebay over a week ago. Reverse headstock=

Crappy close up

Outside with flash (blue!)

Body shot

RG7420 neck on left (not that most accurate comparison pic, but its close)

The sevens

Time for surgery!

I couldn't be arsed to take any more pics after I set it up. I put in A standard with a 10-46+60 set and I would have to say this tuning kicks ass, but its a bit loose on the top 6 so I might try a 10-52 next time.

So far I like it about as much as the RG. I bought it on impulse because I wanted to try a thicker neck to see if it would be more comfortable, and surprisingly (tiny hands) it is. If it had jumbo frets I would take it over the RG in a heartbeat. My only other complaint is the trem bar doesn't seem to screw in all the way and i had to modify the holder with some parts off a 6 string TRS (yes I fix shit with shit). I dunno which one I'm going to keep though. I can sell this one for a small profit (or at least what I payed for it) because its in ridiculously good condition, and I could probably sell the RG for what I payed for it, but I like them both and can't make a decision

. The RG is my favorite guitar with the exception of the skinny as hell neck and this seems just as good minus the tiny frets. I also don't see the point in keeping 2 basswood midrange seven strings with trems.

oh and duncan designed pups blow more than the stock ibby ones

that box was majorly oversized

That blue looks great, congrats

Personally I'd sell the Ibby and keep the LTD.

That looks like our poodle
