NGD!!! Ibanez S5470FRVK

[BigPhi84]

I got this in the mail a couple of days ago, and I finally was able to pull myself away from it long enough to take some (crappy) photos of it. (On a side note, I need to get a tutorial on how to photograph shiny red objects. LOL, stupid light sources, or lack thereof.) I'll try to take some better pics later on in the week. As far as the guitar, I love it! It's so frickin' beautiful. When I first opened up the case, I was speechless for a few minutes just from the Awesomeness emanating from this beast, this Excalibur.

The Flame Maple top has a very 3D look to it. I find myself just staring at it for longer than I'd like to admit. The stock pickups are even tolerable! As far as the neck, it is a little thicker than the old RG770 I have, but the added heft makes the Wizard profile fit my hands better.

Congrats! She looks really nice. I love the top on it and great color!

 

[BigPhi84]

Thanks. Yeah, I've been waiting for it for months, and I got a little freaked out when I saw pics of the another S5470F on drumcityguitarland.com and that guitar looked orangish. Thankfully, it was just the lighting as my guitar is a nice shade of Crimson.

I don't know how to really tell, but it can't be more than a 1/2" inch thick. LOL. It has fake wood binding.

Looks amazing dude
How's the sustain on the upper frets?
Some guys on the Ibanez forum had that sustain problem, are you getting that or did you manage to pick up one of the bug free guitars?

I've got the same guitar, minus the flame top. Great guitars. And yours is beautiful. Congrats.

Some guys on the Ibanez forum are dribbling retards.
