I just impulse-bought a guitar.

[Chris]

Steve's Special in the bridge, PAF neck.

 

[Michael]

Damn you! I love reversed headstocks on RG's. Very appealing.

 

[Mark. A]

What bridge is it running?

 

[zimbloth]

Did you use the Guitar Center coupon Chris? Nice axe.

 

[Chris]

Ibby bridge. Didn't use the coupon, didn't even plan on buying an axe today.

It has typical GC-rack fit/finish issues though. I'm going over it now, just shit like loose screws, the output jack needs to be resoldered, and it needs some Eric's Guitar Polish Kit lovin'.

 

[zimbloth]

That looks really cool man. [Insert 'if it were a 7' cliche here]. Looks really nice. I had a Steve's Special in a Parker guitar recently, they sound pretty good but are a lot brighter than I thought, even in an all mahogany guitar. I disagree with DiMarzio that the Steve Special sounds like the Blaze. Either way its a kickass pickup.

Your pic story was so cool, I'm dissapointed at the quality of those photos.

 

[nyck]

Cool.

I'll take better ones when it's all cleaned and shit. I've been playing it.

 

[bostjan]

Which PAF, which Ibby bridge? You are really beating around the bush today, Chris.

 

[nyck]

I think it's a Edge Pro III, which has the whale tale like the original edge.

 

[David]

Fuck this shit.


WHAT is in the damn box?!




Seriously. What is in the fucking box, dude?

Stumped.

SWEET looking guitar!

 

[Kagami]

Sweet shit dude, 80 dollars off that biotch would be sick \m/

 

[Chris]

It is.

 

[Chris]

Apparently I'm uber lucky.

Since this one is a "one of a kind" model exactly like it.

 

[nyck]

Maybe if he gets one in the mail, he could take it to GC along with the receipt.

 

[Shannon]

Very cool! Donnie's gonna FREAK when he sees this! He's been dying to get his hands on one of those!

I wouldn't mind one myself, but no one has the RG5 here. They have the RG2, RG3 AND RG4s though.

TAKE SOME VERY DETAILED PICS PLEASE! This'll help me decide how bad I want one of those.

Congrats!

 

[Chris]

I'll snap some better pics tomorrow. We all know how dark my house is at night.

I really like it though, and for friggin' $400 it was a no-brainer. Everything on it is gunmetal, the bridge, the tuners, the pickup rings, etc. The only downside is that:

- The trem bar is black
- I can't fucking lock it right now because (see my other post) the low screw isn't long enough to fit 11's.

I need a Tremol-No now.

 

[Chris]

Maybe if he gets one in the mail, he could take it to GC along with the receipt.

The only thing I really buy there are picks and strings anyway, I think this is the most I've ever actually spent there.

 

[Scott]

The only things I buy at music stores now are picks. Everything else is through the internet.
