Pics first:

























The pictures aren't the greatest but not having any free time leads to having to do photos whenever I can. They aren't that bad, I kinda like how they turned out.

So anyway, talking about the guitar. The neck feels amazing. I see why so many people praise this neck. It's pretty thin but has enough heft to it to make it work. I do actually like having locking tuners on the bridge. It's a little different but it works out. The rest of it is a standard Ibanez. Not that is a bad thing. It's actually one of the loudest guitar acoustically that I've owned. The 808's aren't bad but I will probably change them out because I do want to try out the newer EMG pickups that came out recently.

Well enough rambling from me.

Thanks for looking. :)

Dang, those are probably the best photos I've ever seen of one of those. And happy NGD!

Beautiful guitar! I have been GASing so hard for one of these for the past week. This just made it infinitely worse! Very HNGD to you!

HNGD! I also have the RG2228M and love every square inch of it! I recently put in the 808 X's which help greatly with the low end. Super easy swap too. It's a beautiful guitar man, enjoy!

Thanks everyone!

I kinda want to try out the 808x and get them in white but more so the desire to try out the 57/66 set or the 81/60x set. Or maybe some lundgrens. :lol: So many possibilities.

Very nice. As much as I love black ibbys (cliche, I know :lol:) I really love a lot of the white finished guitars they put out. The thing is gorgeous man.

Stupid question, and I'm sorry in advance because my experience with Prestige Ibanez's is playing a 90's 6 string :lol:, but is that a trem system on there? Or is it a fixed bridge with fine tuners? Or are they not even fine tuners and I'm just a blind idiot :lol:

Either way, awesome score man, I'm jelly and my GAS for an 8 string has significantly grown :)
