My "new" RG7620

This is what I bought and already did a pickguard mod.

And a large picture:

...And it's Francesco Fareri's ex-guitar. I was looking for a sevenstring and I wanted a maple fingerboarded guitar. So I bought this, though first I didn't even know it was FF's guitar =)

Nice score man! That pickguard mod looks really nice!

 

[CloudAC]

Definitely adds a nice flavour of unique style to it, great score!

Thanks!

I swirled the pickguard last weekend. I really like the guitar.

Next mods will be:
- Repainting the headstock and putting an Ibanez logo on it
- Scalloping the frets 21-24 (Jem style)
- Blue knobs and pup switch + blue Clip-Lok strap

Guess I will leave EMG 707's there. I'm starting to like the way they sound.

Recorded a song with this guitar last weekend, too.

All the leads are with this 7620. Backing was recorded with Jem77FP. The first solo's missing, though.

That song sounds great! Really digging that rhythm tone, as well as the leads.

Thanks! I made that rhythm patch from scratch in two minutes, because I needed a softer distorted tone. Only the guitar to Boss GT-8 straight into Line In of my souncard.

wonderful guitar! did you actually screw that guard to the body?

 

[Korpau]

Nice!
I like Francesco, and i've always liked this maple boarded RG7620.

 

[tender_insanity]

Yes. There's no screws in the first pictures yet, but in the last one you can see them.

makes me sad but it looks soooo awesome

 

[Mukersman]

How would you go about putting on a pickguard without screwing it into the body? gluing it?

 

[Hendog]

Love the pickguard and the black inlays are hawt!

 

[mountainjam]

hawt!

seriously dude?

 

[tender_insanity]

Thanks for all the comments!

I haven't had much time to play lately, but I really like playing this guitar. The unplugged sound ain't nothing compared to my good old Jem 77FP, though.

Someday I'll do the rest of the mods.

Still my wet dream is to do a new neck for the guitar. Ordering from a luthier, I mean. But so far I'm really happy with this one!

All of your guitars are pretty nice. Love the black rg.

Thanks! It still needs the middle pickup.. Tuned in dropped-C

Here's a portait where you can see my 1989 Jem 77FP:

Beautiful line-up. Love em.

 

[CrushingAnvil]

Nice guitar dude. Blue and maple is great.

 

[tender_insanity]

Beautiful line-up. Love em.

Funny, though, that the Jem is the only "normal" guitar I have. The rest are modded and redone in one way or another.

I just like to have the kind of guitar that you will never see another one that looks the same. And a pleasant bonus is the fact, that they do play and sound real good to my ears
