Never refinish unless you want to keep the guitar forever or sell for a magnificent loss

Have had a few. The one I have now was signed and I sold the other BG a few years ago. Still looking for a replacement. It is my favorite guitar!

Ha. The prices these days people are making a nice profit. But as rare as they are I'm keeping it. Might be left to someone in the Will.
That’s Vampire Kiss if it’s a 7620.
Edit: Oops. Saw the color was addressed already.

I've got one of these in NOS condition, they are in my opinion among the best 7 string guitars ever made. Vampire kiss is a very sought after colour too. Nice score!
I got mine on ebay for 260 euro five years ago. I realise it was a freak occurence (it was a beater and mislabelled as a 7420), but there are probably still a few out there to be had for decent money.
Please don’t refinish it.

I just bought this one, wanting to know what sort of locking nut I need to buy for it. Also did I get fleeced lol, it's going to be my first 7 string, I thought I'd try out a guitar with a trem, coming from playing an Ormsby SX 6 carve top
I didn't even realise it had only the volume pot and no selector even, I guess I'll have to make it a project, but that'll teach me for buying guitars at 1:30am

I'm looking for oneI have a 7420 that I'm thinking of selling, sounds like now is the time to do it
.Nice grab. Can't find any decently priced old MIJ 7s. Not priced like they used to be that's for sure

You need a 48mm nut (Ibanez part 2TL1UV48B, B = Black)
My RG7620 has no selector either, 2 pickups wired to a single push/pull volume pot, keeps things extra simple.

Refinish if you want to keep it forever. Otherwise please don't
Vampire Kiss is just that rare

If you do refinish it, let me know who you went with, I've been thinking about getting my beat up Royal Blue converted to a Silverburst.

That happens to me all the time and it makes me sad.
Thanks for the reply, I might just try that configuration too, it would be a lot easier than trying to make the route for the switch again. The refinish is really quite good, and I think a sleek simple look would suit it!
It's funny that the neck is the same thickness as my Ormsby SX6 carvetop, and the 24th fret access is better too, at least for my smaller hand, and it's got one more string.
i did not see that specific one but the original nuts costs a lot , and be aware that other nuts( from other brands) have wrong radius , only gotoh get "close" (15 3/4" ).
Now, i did order ANOTHER one original ibanez which is not rear mount ( is top mount) , but i HIGHLY suspect they are compatible , the threads should be the same and costs a lot less ( ranging from 40 to 50 ) , at least i'm sure threads of floyd rose are the same , only difference is top mount have a larger hole JUST in the Topside to guest /accomodate the head of the screws preventing them to be in the way of nut-block . . WHen it 'll arrive i could say about it ( i asked in a thread but no one knew about it , i guessed it ) . I need for a Dean but i have a rg7620 too to compare , i do need as floyd on Dean is too tall overall and putting unnecessary high action ( hope ibanez is less tall )and i felt it was wrong radius too
Looks similar to mine … I got burnt when I posted mine although it’s real .
Nice score .fugijen mij ..
Hard to find and nice

Cool to see another

The nut is intact for mine, I only really need the clamps, I'm going to see if the Gotoh GLN-7 clamps fit it, I don't see why they shouldn't. Either that or I'll buy the top mount Ibanez one, whichever is cheaper for me. The guitar looks really cool, and honestly it looks way better as the refinish, it was a really trashed up black one before this new finish

uh ok i think many will be fine if it's just the clamps ,and guess are not expensive original ones too. i did read the message where you was adviced for the entire nut.
oh you took the australian one , i saw her lol.

All the added comments are very welcome! I have the top of the guitar stripped. I basically f^$%ed the small piece between the pickups. I'll have to fix it. This is going to take longer than I thought....no surprise there. I still plan on doing a silver burst with matching headstock, adding SD Black Winters. I might need to have the frets leveled. There was some decent buzz action going on before the tear down.
