Heres my RG1527BP limited edition 2003 europe only black pearl finish.

Had never been used before I snapped it up for a complete steal. :yesway:

Does anyone else agree with me that the RG1527M is one of the sexiest things since Jessica Alba?

Totally agree. I was considering the royal blue, but I think the galaxy white with maple fretboard is more distinctive and just looks amazing.

My shitty camera does not do it justice:

BTW, I just ordered some cool stuff :D

I got the tremol-no small clamp, and I got a Brass Big Block, noiseless springs, Stainless Steel Block Mounting Screws, and a Brass Spring Claw from Floyd Upgrades. Next is locking studs and some pickups...anyone got any pickup recommendations? I wasn't too fond of the EMGs present in the Schecter that I returned...so I guess I'll stick with passives...I like a nice bright metal sound, but deep -- not too muddy.

If you like bright then I'd go with the EVO 7 in the bridge. It has a killer metal sound and will give you that high end you are looking for, but will still have plenty of lows. For the neck either a Liquifire 7 or an Air Norton 7 would pair well with the EVO. Nice guitar BTW.

I was thinking about trading my 1527 for an RGA8. Convince me otherwise. While an 8 string would be awesome, I do love this guitar.

Awesome! I love mine! I have a 2008 RG1527 RB that I got from DCGL for $800 new.

I refinished it though.

I really do love the Cosmic Blue (purple finish) though!

Man all those that have been posted look gorgeous, this looks like it could be a killer first seven for my rig, shame that the price is so prohibitive in this economy (1k euros) :(

Don't do it. I have the RGA8 and just bought a 1527, and the 1527 is easily the better instrument. Prestige vs. non-Prestige :nuts:

Don't get me wrong, the RGA8 is a very nice instrument, but it NEEDS new pickups. The stock ones are seriously the worst p'ups I've ever heard.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check them out.

The refinish looks BEAUTIFUL...wow....

Tell me about it...I got mine from a site that has a 5 payment plan with no interest...that was the only way I could afford it. Jebus knows I don't need another f'n credit card either, so I'm glad I was able to find a reseller that offers a payment plan like I did....but really it was so worth it. It's without a doubt the best guitar I've ever played. Blew the Schecter Damien-7 elite FR that I returned away to hell...I just did not like the schecter neck, or bolt on joint either. I love how Ibanez smooths it out, it's perfect. I prefer the 25.5" scale too.

Count me in =D.

Just got me a 2008 RG1527-RB. Pics will be up soon, just trying to find something better than my Iphone's 2MP camera.

I'd love to add the RG1527GW to my collection someday, but I don't see that happening for a while. :(

I knew I should have gotten an RG7321 instead of a LTD SC207....All these guitars give me major GAS. Especially the UV7BK look-alike
