Well I wasn't looking for a new guitar but the temptation of a MIJ RG Prestige for less than £400 (that's 600 USD for all of our cousins from across the pond) was simply too much. When I first bid on it - with less than five hours to go, it was going for £225!
It's an RG 2620QM with Mahogany body with a beautiful quilted maple top. It sports the DiMarzio/IBZ pups, which will be going as soon as my next pay check comes in. The high gain tone can be coaxed into some fiery, mid-heavy saturation - unusually bright for a mahogany body in my experience - but that requires some fairly heavy eq'ing, both pre and post. The clean sound is incredibly dull: my RGD320 that I picked up for under £200 sounds better (that said I actually adore that thing clean, parallel neck pup, DI'd with a few sparse effects) and the clarity of notes within chords could be better. However, I'm fairly certain that a change of pups will help clear this up.
It was filthy when I got it: the guy brought it as a first guitar and then gave up, this came off the fretboard two days ago.
U R shredding.

I have the same thing when I switch back from 25.5'' on my 6 to 27'' on my 8.
