Why dont you assemble the new body and neck separately, so you have 2 guitars?

Thanks! I like it, too. It's just pinstripe tape from Auto Zone. I find the Fat Finger works for me. It changes how the guitar resonates in a way that I like. It's subtle, but it's there, and I also like how it looks on an Ibanez headstock. I've had it for several years, but I've yet to get around to buying another one for some reason.

I've had this guitar since 1998 and it has never let me down. My F97 Arctic White 7620~

Aw man, that ET custom is STUNNING!!! Ernie is doing the work I mentioned above for me right now. I'm so stoked for the whole project.

I will, eventually, but I can't buy everything at once (I can't afford to) so I'm mixing and matching until I'm completely finished. I'm still somewhat unsure what I should do with the original RG7321 though, as it needs new pickups.

NickCormier · 02-09-2009, 10:42 AM

And heres my first 7 string, RG7421. I actually wish I still had it, it was so baller.

romper_stomper · 02-09-2009, 10:45 AM

Nick that 421 and the 620 looks awsome!!!!

Mattmc74 · 02-09-2009, 10:50 AM

Here's my RG7421. Only mods that were done were the green DiMarzio Blaze's, green DiMarzio knobs that go to 11, Jim Dunlop strap locks, and the Sobe lizard sticker.

What did you use to Stain/finish this. Im thinking about buying an 7420 to do this to (but not black). Im sure its probably just regular stain, im curious on what top coat you used. It looks like Tung Oil, but I thought you couldn't use tung oil with stains?

GazPots · 02-09-2009, 01:15 PM

He actually stuck a new top on the guitar. Think its a veneer but i may be wrong.

I know that already....Im thinking about doing the same thing, just differnent Veneer type (probably bubinga) and different color. Im most wanting to know what Top coat was used, I can just get the acrylic stain from StewMac.

WORD!!!!!

Ketzer · 02-21-2009, 07:47 AM

At one point, this was a 2000 RG7420.

The following mods have been done to it.

- Neck has been sanded down and tung-oiled.
- Original trem studs drilled out, Lo-Pro locking studs installed.
- Trem route altered.
- Cosmo Lo-Pro installed, high-tension springs.
- Neck pickup removed, spot filled with a large brass block.
- Bridge pickup replaced with a Duncan Blackout Neck.
- Gray mirror pickguard installed, only cut for a volume knob, in the tone position.
- Tone control is a trimmer pot in the electronics cavity, I'd have to open the back to adjust it (if I wanted to).

It can't be called a 7420 anymore, it's more of a 7620 now, 'cause of the trem.

My 7620 is stock. sorry

^ That is fantastic

Im also really digging the white RG, that thing was stunning too

Joel · 02-22-2009, 09:03 AM

Who is it on here that did the RG550DY mod to a 7620?

TheSixthWheel · 02-22-2009, 10:02 AM

Ibanez RG7421 - Natural finish and Seymour Duncan SH-8 Invaders.

This was fun, I should do it again.

ballr4lyf · 02-22-2009, 04:26 PM

Here's a question for you ibby guys out there. The old ibby 6-er I had was one of the cheaper models, but it still had the nice tall frets. Do the old ibbys, the 74xx and 76xx models, have those same frets? I always enjoyed playing with the taller frets.
