So I got my Bareknuckle Nailbombs last week, they really surpassed my expectation sound-wise and build-wise. As expected, we did have to cut the mounting feet to fit the very narrow pickup routing of the RGA121. And we also had to slightly dent the corners on the backside of the pickups in...

I actually bought a NOS 2007 Ibanez RGA121 CDR from my local guitar shop. They have had it on the wall since 2008, but apart from the dried up fretboard, it's in perfect condition! Really, not a scratch to be found, I guess apart from me, not a lot of customers have tried it out. I got...

Looks great, man! I just placed an order at Bare Knuckle myself. Did some more research and decided that I Nailbombs would be more my think instead of Aftermaths. So I got a matching pair with the Ceramic Nailbomb in the bridge, aged nickel cover with black hex bolts. They should blend in...

Could you as soon as you installed that set, post pictures! Many thanks! And I will need pictures of your guitar now and once it's done too! :lol:

And as promised, here is my 2005 RGA121 NTF! It is in absolute mint condition, the satin finish is still matte which is awesome! The top on this thing is one of the most dramatically grained pieces of maple that I've seen on a RGA121, love it. The only thing that will have to change...

Happy NGD! Still miss my RG1570 in Mirage Blue, it was one of the first proper guitars that I owned. Only downside for me was the HSH configuration, but it seems that you also screwed down the middle pickup?

I've gone full circle guys, I started expanding my RGA collection! So for 7 years now, I have owned this beautiful VLF: And as of today, I'm also the owner of this CDR RGA121: But that is not all, next week I will also be receiving a NTF RGA121. Sad thing is that I could have had...

Very nice! I too am very found on having direct-mounted pickups, I cannot stand pickup rings. (with expection of Les Pauls/SGs of course)

Glad to see that not everybody is "over" Ibanez. :yesway:

Thanks! It's an Edge Pro actually. And the Les Paul is a bolt-on.

Well this NGD is way overdue, I actually bought this guitar in July from SS.org user teddy_baca. (Thanks again man!) It's an Ibanez Prestige RGT220A, I guitar I have been wanting to get for years, but never seemed to find one for a decent price. After a lot of trouble with customs, it finally...

It's an Ibanez RGR521EX1. http://ibanez.wikia.com/wiki/RGR521EX1 That set of BKPs should be a major upgrade coming from those "Designed by EMG" pups.

HNGD! Looks massive, although that might be because of the small Ibanez logo. :lol:

HNGD! Always loved that HHS pickup layout and the orientation of the PU Switch.

Damn, if I had the money it this moment, I would buy it this instant. Perhaps if I'm lucky next week, I'll keep this thread in sight.

...or you can go full-on RG770DX style and order a see-through pickguard. :yesway:

HNGD! You should put red dimarzio's in that RG to get that RG770DX vibe! :lol:

HNGD! Love how it can pull of the all black look without looking "too metal".

That's going to improve the aesthetics of this guitar a lot! Why Chapman didn't give it black hardware to begin with is beyond me tbh..

I would have been all over the S-models if it wasn't for the constant use of pickup rings and the big black piece of plastic underneath the pickup switch. Come to think of it, Ibanez did fix the pickup rings cover with the SV series. Damn, now i'm gassing for a SV, thanks OP! :lol:
