[Pezshreds]

Does having an RGA8 count?
If so, I have one

 

[channie]

I've joined the dark side

 

[Santuzzo]

I received my black RG8 today, but there are a couple small issues with it and I wanted to ask you guys about your opinion:

-volume knob does not work, which by itself is not a real big deal, probably just needs to be re-soldered or in worst case replaced which I could do myself

-the nut has kind of a groove or cut on the back, it looks like it was cut and as if the nut is just two pieces glued together. (see pics). This looks weird to me and I'm not sure if all nuts on the RG8 come like this, hence I wanted to ask fellow RG8 owners if your nut has the same thing? What I'm a bit worried about is that this might cause stability issues on the nut...

-the bridge has two spots where the black paint is off (see pics), probably happened when it was screwed to the body. while this does not bother me aesthetically I'm worried at those spots the bridge might corrode ...

I'm torn whether or not to return the guitar for these issues or if I should keep it and maybe fix these myself (volume pot is no biggie, but I'm not sure on how I would fix the other two issues).

Any advice?

^ where did you buy it from? did you pay full price or was this sold as a b-stock? a few others have had some issues including myself. it was mainly with the neck, so some of us have returned them. most of those details can be seen in the rg8 mod thread below.

[FireInside]

Sign me up as well, just placed my order. NGD coming next week sometime. Got a great deal with the Musician's Friend 15% off Memorial Day sale!

Philligan's NGD day thread and a conversation with Konfyouzd sent me over top and convinced me to take the leap. Thanks bros!

Edit: ordered a white one by the way!

[Santuzzo]

I returned my black one and will get a white replacement...but not until July/August, as they are out of stock over here .....

 

[BillyMMM]

Got myself a black beauty. Just needs a few mods now!

 

[MetalBuddah]

bigboi23847 will be the proud owner of my white RG8 (the third on the forum) by tomorrow at the earliest! Mine was extremely solid but now that I have 9 string, I need a 7 string in my arsenal (because of the way I tune).

 

[lemonlust]

Black one came broken, a WHITE one is on its way

shouldn't you just edit the original post

 

[M3CHK1LLA]

...shouldn't you just edit the original post

i would just edit the orig (post #1) but the it will not allow me to. i even left a message for mods about this, but no dice. in fact, i cant edit the last list i made. this is why i wait to get several ppl signed up before adding them to the list.

 

[Ganjatron]

Got a white one comin in a couple days. Plan on putting a Lace Alumitone Deathbar (I put a deathbucker in my SG Robot) and or an xbar in it eventually. Also going to white it out completely, headstock/hardware, pups. Then depending on how it turns out i might stain the fingerboard. I'm also gonna come up with some one off inlays (sticker types I'm sure)
