Man that 27" LACS is SO NICE
Glad to see him rocking two 2027XL's as well... what a killer guitar. I swear it feels better than a prestige, to me anyways.
The RG2027XL is a prestige model fyi.

Yes I know, I have one. What I'm saying is it feels higher quality than other prestiges I've played
They haven't been in the catalog in a few years, but that's rarely stopped ABM from making something if you order it and they're not busy.
Ahh thanks for the intel. I may have missed it or couldn't see, was there a locking nut involved or no?
From ABM? They've made them, but they don't bundle them with these tail pieces, at least they didn't before.
How so? I am contemplating one as my 2077 has really grown on me recently and the new ones look fantastic!
Sorry, I meant on Wes's Iceman. I couldn't see if he had a locking nut on his guitar or not.
Oh, yeah. The ToM burst LACS has a locking nut.
I figured it had to but then again there's this graphtech or whatever replacement nut for locking nuts

Not sure about ABM, but Gibson still makes a version of the fine-tuner tailpiece, and there’s a proprietary unit available to retrofit onto Quan BadAss bridge setups.

All of my prestiges have been really nice, but I remember my original RG3120 felt JCustom quality with a Prestige badge. This 2027XL feels the same way. It might be in my head, or perhaps it has something to do with it being 27" scale and different than most of their other guitars.
Yeah but his Iceman is a 7 string and IIRC Gibson does not make those.

I have seen the Gibson one, it looks good! I've thought about it for my Epi SG. Or a Floyd Rose FRX...D’uh!
It seems I’d forgotten where I am…

It should come out a little more than the picture you’ve shown below but it shouldn’t go into the horn as the intention is to keep the border the same thickness all around. I don’t like when the outer walls of the burst are super thin. I’m more concerned with how uneven the figuring in the bottom half of the top is in the example you linked. I’m lucky to own my favorite example of Doom Burst:
Same. I have search alerts setup for "Doom Burst" but the only one I've seen recently has a totally disappointing Friday Afternoon burst job. It's like they forgot the lower horn.

Two points:
1) Yes that makes sense now you mention it. I don't like overly thin bursts either I guess, I just don't know if I dislike them more than teardrop bursts
2) HOLY F*** your RG collection is incredible!!! Are they all limited runs or is the pink (Rhodonite?) a standard?
IIRC, both the pink and the amber are both limited runs through Axe Palace.

I thought the amber was the only standard one. 99% sure the purple is a AP run...
