Justin is easily one of my favorite guitarists in the metalcore scene and has been since the myspace days.. I couldn't believe this when I read it. They just did all those riffmas videos and I loved him and Trent as a duo. I see two possibilities for this situation:
1) justin may have some...
HNGD!
I absolutely love my RG2228A. I can't believe they discontinued production on them. I was working at Guitar Center at the time, and the RG2228A I got was literally our last in stock for both Musiciansfriend & GC. :cool:
Anyways cheers man! I know I personally will be never selling...
The notes were all correct but I felt the performance lacked dynamics and feeling. I think if you worked a bit on accenting certain notes and having some dynamic variations in your playing then for me the cover would have been spot on.
I'm saddened by the fact you sacrificed the awesomeness that is a TAM10 for an RG8. It is far more than an RG8 with a pickguard & ionizers..
Can't listen to everything people post online IMO ;)
I love my RG9QM.
-With that being said.. the regular RG9 is terrible. I'd avoid it.
-Having played a few they just don't even compare.
-The neck on the QM (Quilted Maple) is Satin Finish, not gloss

PS: I've been playing 8 strings for about 2 years, however ERG's for 8. Don't be so close-minded. Experience isn't measured only in terms of years but time invested & knowledge attained. :)
New '7620 for me today boys:
'99 Ibanez RG7620GN.
Fresh off eBay, ready for a setup, cleaning, pickup swap, then immediately tuned to Drop G and thrown into recording for this weekends studio sessions! Stoked.
All original parts included.. has a few cosmetics here and there but I accepted...
Hahah thanks for the comments and checking them out everybody!
I'll be sure to send out any spare TAM10's that happen to come my way out to you guys :)
Still trying to decide what pickups I want to put in the RG9QM.
Anybody else pick up the 9 string here?!
Oh my god dude. I would have GLADLY taken this off your hands! Please let me know if you have anymore hahah.
PS: Glad to see this thread is alive and well everyone. I have some very cool info to share when I have a bit of time to make a post.
-Modifications to my 7620
-Updates on my...
Bumpage in case anyone missed this. By the way this guitar was modified with the DiMarzio Illuminator set! They work great for taking any RG7620 to the next level.
Quick Improv solo using my Ibanez RG7620BK, GoPro Hero3+, Axe FX II XL, Radial Engineering J48, Focusrite Octopre, Protools 11. Running some final tests before I begin uploading serious videos.
Check it out!
Thanks & Cheers.
