So i've been on a short break away with my girlfriend. Soaking up the sun on the beach, eating stuff I shouldn't, drinking, humping and getting sun burnt (it hurts to shower ) and I just got back this morning.

First thing I did when I got back was pull out my Ibanez RG1550FM. I was unplayable for a month or two as I messed up one of the intonation lock screws. It's been fixed and I've been playing it constantly since I got it back from the tech. It's so amazing. It plays so smoothly, incredibly comfortable, always in tune, looks gorgeous and sounds incredible. I've had it for almost 2 years now and I can't see myself getting rid of it. I changed the stock bridge pickup to a Dimarzio Air Zone after a few months of having it and was pretty satisfied for a while. But then my tastes in tone changed after changing amps etc so I put in a set of Bareknuckle Holy Divers. Sounds incredible, it's like the pickups were made for the guitar. So enough of me going on,here she is







So post yours and tell a little story about it

This is my frankenstrat. It's an old school RG560 body with a leftie RG550 neck. It's running an original Edge, Dimarzio Fred and stock Ibanez single's. Check out the flame on the back of the neck! Sadly I'm too into 7's and it's not getting played, so if anyone wants it...

OK , I'm in:

in the early 90's I was switching cheap guitars like a madman and none of them were any good.

Then I got a brand new RG570 which really made me get serious about playing:
I took it everywhere:
A show in the 90's


A studio to record an album in 2001

Another gig


In 2004 I decided it had been roughed up long enough, after dropping it for dozens of times. The neck is cracked, way too much action, and the electronics are rusted.




So I bought a 7 stringer, retired the 570 and put it with it's collegues in my rack:


I miss it, sometimes I even play it, but there is no going back.

My RG1570 is currently out of commision.






I've been trying to install EMGs for the past 6 months and after running into problems early with the wiring I just haven't had the time to go back and fix it up. Maybe with finals this week I can finish (I'm a senior so I don't have exams for most of my classes).

If you ever want to trade for my 1570 let me know It might motivate me to actually finish with the pickups

Well, let's see..

Here's my #1, an RG750. I've had this guitar since 1994. Got it at a pawn shop during the dark ages when Nirvana was big, for something like $250-300 with the hardshell case. Since then it's had 3 different sets of pickups and 4 different pickguards. I need to put a new headstock decal opn it though, as the original has rubbed off to nothing.

Current pickups: Dimarzio Breed Bridge and Neck.




Next is the butchered RG760. I couldn't deal with the RG570 I used to have, so I sold it for this and made it into a guitar I would like. The body is heavily re-routed, like a swimming pool. I just recently got matching pearloid backplates for it.

Current pickups: Dimarzio Super 3, Blue Velvet, Breed Neck.




I love the Jewel Blue finish, it never looks plain.

RGs I sold off:
RG7620RB

RG570MBL
