NGD - Guess that Rg

[straymond]

Just got this back from some modding, and can't wait to set it up

Love the color, nice shade of purple

 

[IbanezDaemon]

Very cool. Has to be 1994 and onwards, if it was originally H/H it's gotta be 20 something like an RG520 or RG620.

Looks killer. Congrats!!!

 

[Wucan]

That's an interesting one. The body and finish makes it seem like a newer model but that neck is pure 90's. I'd sooner guess it's a partscaster.

 

[thebeesknees22]

sick dude! looks great! No idea which RG it is though ha

 

[nickgray]

Mahogany body with highly unusual knob placement? And that clear purple finish, and the binding? My guess is custom body. Or some super obscure model. Or maybe it's a cheapo 421 body super heavily modded, with an old RG neck?

 

[jaxadam]

Stunner!

 

[straymond]

Many good calls here.
It started its life as a 620

How'd you hide those original holes so well? Or is that a new top? Looks like a new top now that I look closer

Plugs and a new veneer

Looks great! Looks like that bridge is in the powder cosmo colour - those are to find! I have a spare Lo Pro in Powder Cosmo (in addition to the two already in my RG3120s). Bought in in case one got damaged...

 

[JimF]

Thats stunning! Definitely my type of project

Looks ace. I might venture to the used RG market for double-locking fun again some day.

Tell you what though, I can imagine the tapered shape of the plates of Edge trems must make setting it flush/neutral a bit of a pain in the bum, no?

There's a slot on the side of the bridge, allowing you to see the side of the knife edge. Gives you a nice straight line to set parallel to the body.

It's visible in the OP second photo.

@Neon_Knight_ is on point

@straymond
Was the 'royal plum burst' RG652 your inspiration?

This guitar made my royal plums burst.

I would have guessed it was the RG652 with the new finish and I would have been WRONG.
