Nice one, but the original rubber Beehive-style knobs just don't do it for me. The rosewood replacements I have on mine are available from Allparts.

In that case, you might want to check out the red 20th Anniversary RG. The have all the right moves and their build quality is on Prestige level.

So even the upscale Prestige models and the super high-end J-Custom models (that are all unavailable outside Japan :mad:) all don't help to make Ibanez more popular in Japan?

That looks great, congratulations! How did you do the logo? It's obviously above the vinyl wrap, but was it another sticker or a decal, etc.?

Wow, HNGD. That Maple fretboard with the Ghost Sharktooth inlays is probably the coolest series production RG fretboard ever!

I once had a Korean-made Kramer Striker 100ST from the late 80s with a relatively decent neck but a horrible plywood body. The looks were okay, but what made the thing virtually unplayable was (a) the bridge pickup that was microphonic as hell...

Maybe I have missed it, but is there any information on limited availability of the Genesis Collection guitars?

OK, so he still offers that option. That's cool! As I said earlier, during the concept phase for my custom guitar, I got in touch with Lee Garver and Neil Moser who both have experience with split-fretboard construction (GMW GuitarWorks). If one of their guitars turned out to get problems over...

I strongly believe the neck heel is shaped the same way as on the 20th Anniversary RG models, e.g. a very long heel, longer than the original, with no overlap of the fretboard. This means that the reissue necks are not backward compatible with the original body pockets.

I'd prefer the RG670AH with that beautiful Ash body.

Thanks guys!

Happy NGD! Great score, I love the HH version.

Can you remember which finish it had? I believe there were three different finishes available on the SC500N, namely, the natural finish, some transparent color and a sunburst.

Hello all, let's continue with the IBZ oddities. This guitar was a cool find as of November 2010, discovered in a classified ad. It was difficult to date and identify this particular model because it doesn't have a serial number and I couldn't find it in any catalog. At the first glance, this...

:bowdown: That is just insane... :holy:

Although it's definitely not a competition, I'd like to see how Corpsegrinder88's collection looks like. :) Is it scattered across the forum or is there some kind of overview thread?

Thanks for the nice words guys! There are a few more IBZs to go, oddballs and mainstream beauties alike; so stay tuned.

Hi again, here is (yet) another rather special guitar you won't find very often: An Ibanez SC500NNT, serial number F97..., made in Japan. This particular model appeared in the catalogs 1998 and 1999 exclusively. It came into my hands back in 2003. It is a hybrid construction, that is...

I got it back in 2009, so it's technically not a NGD. ;) One of the Ibanez guitars that I bought brand-new came with this chrome bar. I believe it was the S1520FB when I got it in 2000 but I'm not sure.
