NGD: Ibanez Premium RG721RW CNF!

[Pearson0110]

I Prefer my RG721 to my RG3120 Prestige surprisingly. To me, the neck is a lot more comfortable and it not having a tremolo is a big plus! And to answer aneurysm's question, The pickups are not that bad, Nothing to shout about though. I ended up replacing my bridge with a Bare knuckle Blackhawk and it sounds phenomenal.

HNGD!

Very nice. I love natural finishes. I'm liking the look of that bridge too, looks like it has lots of room to adjust intonation. On my RG3EX1 w/14-58 in B standard, I can't get it perfect on the low B. It's pretty damn close but the saddle could use to move back another mm or two.

Very nice, love these things!

Should have taken some nice shots of the binding!

 

[ToneLab]

Love the natural look. Nice axe.

I've had mine for 2 months and I frikin love this guitar.
I own two 721s...this and a mfma.
Congrats!

Happy NGD. This is awesome. I love this bridge to death, I really wonder why they chose to install the gibraltar instead of those on the new prestige models. Seems like a weird choice to me since those tight end are perfection.

Upgrades are done. I've not been this happy with a guitar in a while, I'll tell you that.

Soundclips?

Dude, awesome! I ordered one for myself last week, can't wait for it. I see you upgraded yours with locking tuners, which ones are those? Looks like Jin-Ho, which I ordered as well, but in black finish and slick locks. To bad noone on ebay had them in Cosmo Black (apart from those Schecter-branded), but one seller told me that they can be ordered in this finish, but only in 500+ set of them. So maybe I'll swap them once again some day.

And of course, how new pups sound compared to stock ones?

Perhaps I'll think of something

The tuners are no-name, and I've seen them on multiple different sites. A very cheap alternative to other overpriced brands indeed.

The new pickups sound slightly darker than the original ones. However, this could partially be because of the thicker string gauge. However, the Crunch Lab is tight and clear, and the Liquifire is as singing and modern as it should be.

Yeah, $80+ for a set of brand locking tuners is And since you mentioned that they were listed as no-name, they are probably Jin-Ho (if they have JIN-BLA-BLA-BLA engraved on them, they are totally are)

Holy christ that's gorgeous.

I just played one of these today at a local shop, and broke the high E string immediately. Pretty awesome none the less, HNGD!

 

[Thanatopsis]

Gorgeous guitar. What did you pay for that?

5495 Swedish crowns, wich would be about 595 Euros or 806 US Dollars.

 

[Thanatopsis]

I like the look of the new bridge pickup. Something about the bar and regular pole pieces together.

Ahh, the crunchlab. When played through a good amp, it makes a noise that makes some people rather tight in the pants

EDIT: Killer guitar, OP. Wanted one of these a long time ago, will get one eventually. I hope.
