    Opinions on the Ibanez RGA121?

    I owned one for 2 years and it was a total workhorse: comfortable prestige neck, solid body, stable fixed bridge. I replaced the PUPs with BKP Ragnaroks and it just became no-frills modern metal machine that was a breeze to play. Also bonus is that it was mahogany with a real maple top which was...

    Slightly Damaged RG752FX for $450, Worth It or Not ?

    Used prestige for less than 500 bucks? I'd take that. I'd put a pickguard on it as well if the routes are really a problem to look at :D

    Which pickup manufacturer can match the original Universe green?

    Ohhh that's an interesting fact. I was never too in deep with their gear, but I always thought they used D-activators since one of them brought that up in an interview somewhere. But if ever a used Blaze Custom in green pops up at a decent price, I'll try to get it anyway

    Which pickup manufacturer can match the original Universe green?

    That was actually something I was considering, but I also considered this an opportunity to try out something a tad more modern sounding for the guitar. Actually that's an interesting suggestion to use the original bobbin! I'll definitely keep that in mind with whatever brand I pick. Yeah...

    Which pickup manufacturer can match the original Universe green?

    Hi, guys So this year I was lucky enough to purchase a '90 Universe "Green Dot". Now while I have no problems with how the guitar looks and plays, I've been generally "okay" with the Blaze pickups but sort of wish there was some more aggression and tightness which I'm sure is something many...

    Challenge: Top 7 String Metal Guitar Tone

    Growing up I was always in awe of the tone from albums like Demanufacture, Destroy. Erase. Improve., and of course Nevermore's "Dead Heart..." and I think those are still my benchmarks when it comes to not super heavily downtuned 7 strings. With that said I can't deny that the tone off of...

    NGD: Ibanez UV777BK - 1997 Universe

    Goddamn I am a sucker for anything UV related. That does look awesome despite its condition. I'd say if a tech can bring it to great playing condition without much effort and it sounds and plays great, then why not keep it :D

    NGD: 2003 ~ 2005 Jackson RR24 MIJ Gold

    Oh that is SICK. Happy NGD indeed! Gotta love the RR24.

    Overdue NGD: Green Dot Goodness

    Yeah it's definitely not for everyone although I love it in an old-school retro way. The white UV is actually my favorite Universe by far, but good luck to anyone trying to find one at a decent price.

    Overdue NGD: Green Dot Goodness

    That's sick, man. Yeah that's how I would describe this one as well. I've enjoyed other 7s but this one just drips this with certain mojo and I can't put it down easily.

    Overdue NGD: Green Dot Goodness

    So I posted here quite some time ago asking for help deciding among an RG752 (the purple one), a S5227QFX, an OG Greendot and a K7 for my new 7 string. Long story short, I tried them all but the UV7 absolutely crushed everything, no question! (The K7 and S5227 were tied for a very close 2nd...
