Ok so as some of you may know, I have tons of "dream guitars", but in the top 3 on that list is the Ibanez S7420FMTT, It's not the rarest guitar on the planet, and the bridge isn't the greatest, but god damn is it sexy. I have tried on several occasions to get one of these, and every time I do, something comes up. I either wouldn't have the money in time to get it before it's sold, or when I do have money, the guitar looks like it had been hurled down a flight of stairs. Well yesterday it was brought to my attention by jymellis that there was one for sale about an hour away from my house for $400! Sadly, I didn't have any money, and I was going to watch another one slip away. But then my girlfriend decided she wanted to be amazing :hbang: and offered to buy it for my birthday/christmas. So after that amazingly awesome surprise, I took off on a road trip to go pick this baby up, and met up with Josh, a fellow forum member to do the deal. I was not expecting it to be in the condition it was in. I'd say 8.5/10, which is awesome. So I sped home, took some pictures, conditioned the fretboard, and threw some new strings on it, and it SHREDS!

Oh, and did I mention it has Blackouts? I won't get to hear how they really sound until I can get to my rig (it's in our trailer in kentucky at the moment), but they sound pretty damn good through my headphone amp :)

ON TO THE PICTURES! (cell phone camera for the lose.)

there's another guy in the same area selling the black pearl model with a Blaze in the bridge for about the same price too, crazy!

So jealous man, congrats on the awesome new guitar. If you could have only had that when we were on tour together! One more guitar I could have tried to steal every day:lol:

Awesome geet dude!

I keep mentioning a guitar as a present to my girlfriend but she's a student now so I doubt it'll ever happen :lol:
