NGD: There were honestly more reasons to buy this than to pass it up...

Freaking sweet!

Nice score. Got a 2001 520 almost exactly like yours (blue) about a month ago from GC in Ohio for $300 (w/ Ibanez case). Came with a Tone Zone and PAF Pro already installed. Frets had barely any wear. Only difference is that my cosmo hardware has a matte finish on it.

There was a reissue?
Happy NGD, I love mine.

RG520 is a sweet guitar. You scored man, it looks new.

 

[Shredasaurus]

the back looks killer and its in great condition!

My only gripe with this model is the trans blue tint they used completely masks the very pretty quilted sapele veneer top.

+1 from my side. It's a shame the cool grain isn't actually visible. I'd say a quilted Sapele top would look best finished clear without any stain or tint. Anyway, great guitar, lots of rawk for the buck.

I used to have one of these in the brown finish with EMG's... Wish I hadn't gotten rid of it.

that guitar is pure win...wizard neck, edge bridge and no middle single coil.
congrats !

WOW that is clean. I've had 2 of these and neither were even close to that clean. Great pickup!

 

[Meddl]

that is a heck of a deal, congrats!

 

[HighPotency]

I just picked one of these up on Friday. Same finish and everything. I thought you stole my guitar!

Nice score man. I'm loving the look of that top in that last photo. You're making my divorce from Ibanez not so simple now.
