Documenting this one for fun. Wanted this guitar for a long time so was time to find a builder to put it together
Model:
-Ibanez RGA6 String
-25.5"
Body:
-Mahogany with quilted maple top
-Hum hum config with dimarzio triangular tabs
-1 x vol and blade 3 way
-RGA Broderick carve (The best RGA carve)
-AANJ
Neck:
-Reverse headstock
-5pc flamed maple and wenge
-Headstock volute in flamed maple with ebony "fillet"
-Ebony board
-Have gone with flamed maple binding on the board but unsure, might just go ebony with hidden fret ends
-17" radius
-Stainess EJ frets
-Quilted maple headstock veneer
-No inlays
Finish:
-Gloss transparent white quilt
-Black stained "faux" binding on body and headstock
-Ibanez Custom logo in black (bought a black Ibanez J Custom decal and just removed the "J")
-Satin flamed maple/wenge neck in black stain
Hardware:
-Dimarzio pickups with chrome hex pole pieces
-LoPro in cosmo black
-Gotoh cosmo black tuners
-Gotoh cosmo black knobs
-Black truss rod cover
-Black string tree
-Black plates
-Overall, it'll be almost identical to Chris' 6 string. However, couple of little changes, namely the black stained neck which was seen on a Blackwater guitar.
-Woodworking is almost complete (ETA end of August)
-Then it's off to paint in the USA as have found a reputable and very reliable painted who turns things around in 4-6 weeks
