New Guitar Day!
Saw this RGX420s-Drop6 pop up on ebay for $120 AUD had to grab it!
26.25inch scale
Jumbo Frets
Alnico 5 Humbuckers
5 way switch
Maple Neck
Alder Body
Rosewood (?) Fingerboard
14 inch fretboard radius
Was missing the trem arm and backplate but apart from that all there
Neck is maple and the flaming is unreal. This was the last years of the Taiwan factory so they were possibly running down the stocks. I have seen more than one of these with amazing flamed necks.
Has the height adjustable locking nut
Pickup selections below, love position 2 and 4 especially for clean. Sounds like a tele in position 4. Also noiseless so hum free in that position.
This is the original string specs. D'Addario doesn't make them anymore as they were only for this model so will have to order from string joy or the Elixir 7 string set to get close.
I have strung it up with Ernie Ball "Not Even Slinky", put tung oil on the neck to bring out the grain and polished the frets. Had to use all 3 springs to get the tension right. I prefer only 2 springs. This bridge has a 37mm compact Brass block and stays in tune pretty well. All my guitars have trems and I will be putting a Goeldo backbox/ESP Arming Adjuster/Tremory on here for trouble free tuning.
Neck all oiled up
Maybe change pickups? Nothing wrong with them but i have about 20 humbuckers, maybe a Suhr DSH+? Ragnarok?
Sad when most of my pickups cost more than this guitar :'(
This is an under rated model with many great features. I could gig with it and it would stand up.
Something that has bothered me is the screws after 20 years have started to corrode. 2 are dead in the pickup surrounds as were the trem screws. Easily fixed though.
Funny story I found 1 brand new for sale in Bulgaria! Couldn't make shipping work.
