Hello all,
I'm sorry if this is a recurring theme or thread in advance. I haven't been able to find sufficient information in all the research I have done. I have checked the RG8 Mod thread and a couple of bridge replacement threads, but none have had any specific answers to my question.

I know it's been a long wait for a few for theirs but I think it's worth it. I've had this guitar for a little over two months now and it's everything I expected. Beautiful craftsmanship, sounds spot on and plays so nice. Rob always manages to wind his pickups just right, crisp, clear with a bit...

Hi everyone
been a while since I've posted on the site
So I'm currently working with Hart Guitars and Bass, a UK based custom guitar luthier, and I'm doing some market research for them to give them a bigger foot in the door
And I want to know what you want to see in the ERG market (even just...
After considering changing pickups in an Ibanez Universe, I decided to take another route and move into the world of 8 string guitars. Now I just need to decide which one is the best for me. I would like to keep the cost under $1500 but I would consider going a bit higher for the right guitar. I...

All guitar sounds created running a...

Mine's the one to the right:
I'm super impressed with this thing so far. I asked for a super matte and satin-feeling finish, and it looks (and feels) amazing. The neck...
HI! I am trying to decide between two guitars. Ibanez Prestige RG852 and RG752. (The number of strings isn't a big deal to me in this case.)
The deal is, I can get the 8 string for $1,100 and professionally set up (neck, nut, bridge check/set up). Cheaper than the 7, and will without a doubt...
I ordered this used from Reverb, it was a fantastic deal. I'll let the pictures talk first. :lol:
Body is walnut, neck is 5 piece walnut/maple, top is claro walnut, and fretboard is ebony. The pickups were replaced with a set of BKP Aftermaths, and the regular tone was...
