NGD: Ibanez LACS RGA7 - JB1

[JakePeriphery]

Hey guys just want to show off this bad mamma-mumma that arrived at my front door today. I specced out this guitar with the help of my peers and I'm really REALLY happy with how it came out anyway some vitals:

RGA 7-string 25.5 inch scale Alder Body with Maple top

Rosewood Fretboard (dyed black)

14-16" radius fretboard, not sure hehe

24 Dunlop 6000 stainless steel frets

DiMarzio Crunch Lab 7 (bridge)

DiMarzio LiquiFire 7 (neck)


Everything is painted a matte pewter gray and all the hardware has a satin finish. It plays amazing and I definitely need to thank Mike Taft at Ibanez as well as the dude who built it because it is the best guitar I've ever played. I also want to point out that I specced out this guitar from the perspective of a minimalist, I'm not really into fancy tops or finishes, everything I own tends to be varying shades of gray or black. I'm also very neat-freakish and very much into modern design so I tried to bring out that aspect of my personality in this guitar.

EDIT: One REALLY important feature I forgot to mention is that the bridge is not floating - it's blocked so I can have a locking nut and fine tuners but no floating trem. Like a RG2228 fixed edge bridge.

That shore is purty...

Is it bolt-on? Does Ibanez make any neck thru guitars?

They do but I prefer bolt-on's.

Glad you guys like it.

It was his custom shop guitar, if he wanted anything other than bolt-on he could have gotten it. The LACS will make pretty much anything.

Ibanez has made many neck-thru customs, as well as production guitars. Just search for "RGT"s.

+ All the Xiphos 700 series are all neck-thru as well.

Congrats bro

I removed the photo showing the LACS serial # and stamp to prevent online searchers from copying the stamp and maybe your serial number. This is just to prevent fakes and whatever from being sold.
