I’ve been eyeing an RGA8 on reverb for the past couple days. Only thing that worries me about it is the bridge. Have you had issues with setups and stuff on yours?
I have not. I intonated it myself and it works really well. I did bring it in to replace the electronics after I got it, the stock pickups are so bad. I had SD Blackouts installed and it was a completely new instrument... Sounds gnarly in drop E and it works great for clean/ambient stuff as well.
Not fully sure if I want to sell yet, but going to respond anyways to keep a mental note for myself if I decide to hahaha, so let me know if you'd be interested and I'll keep you in mind once I decide.
RG852-WH. Absolute dead mint condition (no body damage on the edges like normal used ibanez) lol, barely any fret wear at all. I had the best tech in my state swap in Fishman Fluence Abasi's with a Schaller M 5 way switch. (Didn't have to mod body at all). It has some EB strap buttons that have a touch of glue instead of the default ibanez ones, so would have to head the glue up a tad if you want to replace.
Should have my mind made up after christmas lol. Thanks!

Don't know if you still need info, but I can alternatively recommend and RGA8 as well as I owned one for somehting like 9 years.
Incredible guitar for value especially if you buyt that used. Once you swap the pickups you're done with upgrade.
Bridge is easy to setup for any need plus it's unbelievably stable. Go for it you find one!
It's not a prestige but I can tell that's very similar in feel and playability as months back I purchased an RG2228M (here's on sevenstring btw lol so keep you eyes open in any case for new offerings!)
