RG-D7620 refinish/mod project

[feilong29]

I acquired an Ibanez RG7620 with an undesirable finish, so, what better thing to do than to strip it and refinish it??? I originally was going to do a bright yellow, but that was already done so I figured I'd do something more original (not in general). So I chose orange and am happy with the result. The finish needs some work, but I have no time to continue the project.

I was intrigued by another guy who RGD'd his 7620, and I LOVE how those lines look, so I bought a half-round half bastard and got to work! Took some elbow grease and ample amounts of time to sand her down and get the bevels decent; it works for me!

Mods:

-Refinished in satin orange
-Beveled in the style of an RGD
-Resurfaced with the tremolo with metal polish (awesome investment)
-Installed the Seymour Duncan Pegasus/Sentinent set
-Wired it with a single push-push 500k pot
-But a scoop on the back of the horn (not perfect)
-Pyramid inlay... stickers
-Extra routing for the pickups courtesy of a good friend of mine!

Now, the pics!

Thanks for looking! I'm nervous about using sandpaper on the finish which is why it probably came out the way it did haha.

Very nice dude! I really like that color and the rgd bevels look good too but if you got more of that orange I would do the headstock too and slap an ibby sticker on there!

Unless you like the black that is? Either way badass

I thought for a moment to match the headstock. I'll look into it again. Thanks for checking it out!
