NGD - The Elusive "New Prestige"

[nightsprinter]

No 56k warning here - ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!

I won't belabor it any more- you already know what this is.

2024 RG2027XL covered in case pollen from the very nice fiber shedding hardcase. Cleaning is on the agenda before it gets plugged in.

No picture of a knife opening the box = no like.

Happy NGD!

I knew I was forgetting something. Chalk it up to my newness as a poster.

Angelfire was a nice touch.

Sick guitar, and plus fifty points for the Bloodsport gif.

The start of this OP felt like the text equivalent of a radio station tagline and I'm 1000% here for it.
The XLs are sick as hell, HNGD; tell your wife we love her lol

It ain’t new anymore

For anyone wondering, I got this from Matt "Drop" Dee. It was my second purchase from his store this year and this one went as well as the first. Not having to pay sales tax is a big help and I like supporting small shops when I can swing it.

I have another NGD tomorrow for a guitar I got in a trade, but it's nowhere near as cool as this one and I don't know if I'll keep it longterm.

And as far as the post that inspired this, if anyone has a sweet cordless stick vacuum, chili's gift cards, a nice collection of size XL hawaiian shirts, pedals, keyboards, anything enticing- then boy do I have a nice legator here for you!

What are you going to set it up for? I've got mine in G#/C# standard, with a custom set from Stringjoy. It's pretty dial right now! I actually like the Fusion Edge pickups.

Happy NGD!

For now, just A standard but we'll see where I take it eventually. I've played 1 step down tuning since I was a teenager and occasionally venture into C# standard or Open C (speaking in 6 string terms) for certain things, but I usually always come back to the step down tuning. I like high tension so I'll probably beef up the gauges a bit on this. I'm new to the fusion edges so I'm looking forward to seeing how I respond to them.

LIES!!

I know, I know, blasphemy

Still haven't given it a full wipedown before the point of no return where it turns into a musical tool for the rest of its life, but this dark tide blue is a lot nicer than I expected.

The finish was the most pleasant surprise when I got mine. Really classy looking guitar.
