My very first Ibanez! Can't put it down since I modded the hell out of it! I don't have a fancy camera, so these will have to do for now!

Mods:

- Blue/Cyan refinish
- Dimarzio D-Activator 8 (white)
- Hipshot Open Gear Locking Tuners
- DR Strings TF8-11

That's an excellent color, and the white pups and silver tuners go great!

Looks nothing like the depressing black 8 string it was stock. Looks a lot brighter and happier. HNGD!

That looks fantastic! I especially love the white pickups....would love a pair of white pickups for my RG8WH. Nice color and great job!

Very nice!

I would suggest changing the tuner pegs to white ones also, think it would look great. Orrr black as someone suggested.

That shade of blue looks gorgeous! Very nice mod job, it looks really clean apart from the slight mist on the top, though honestly even if it were my guitar, I wouldn't be bothered about it too much.

How did I miss this one, great job on the mods! Looks 10000x better than the boring black or white it comes in, love that shade of blue. This makes me want to refinish my RGA8 now, the black is a tad bit overdone now that I think about it. HNGD!

Looks great! I bet bringing the paintline just a a hair down the sides of the headstock would look awesome - almost like a cap, you know what I mean?

Yeah might be cool, but I tried to keep the original paintlines as much as possible! Made a small error at the top of the headstock though..
