Well, not really an NGD because I've been working on this baby for a few weeks now, but finally finished today
I bought it as an incomplete project, an Fugijen Ibanez 7420 off fellow forumite Haggus. This guitar plays and sounds like a dream (come true hehe), my new favourite axe. Comparing this to my old 7321 is like comparing a Ferrari to a Holden Gemini (sorry Dan!). I've never heard a basswood 7 sound so well balanced and alive! The sound is pure, organic and absolutely hair raising across all 7 strings with tightness I've never heard from passive pickups before. The midrange is punchy & crunchy and the low end is colossal. The thing sounds gigantic. Note articulation is incredible and the neck is soooooooooo fassssssssssssssssssssssst!!!
pickups:
bareknuckle painkiller bridge
bareknuckle cold sweat neck
other mods:
original floyd rose 7 tremolo
petrucci-style wiring (3 way with outer coils in mid position) with CTS pots & switchcraft jack.
Knobs that go to 11!!! and matching switch tip
