I really need to leave this thread. Too much emotion when I see this guitar.

Man, just think of how cool that would look with black saddles on the gold LoPro!

Thank you for the idea , I may have just the right donor guitar/trem for it , that by itself would look great with the gold saddles :

Where are they now?

VLF with cosmo black switch normally used for coil split on modern Ibanez. It's a blower switch for the bridge pup now (emg/etc. solderless plugs fit on the prongs once the Ibanez pickup selector/wiring harness is removed.

I frickin love those! I can't believe Ibanez never made more or more variations.... The closest thing I can think of is the RGIR's and I thought those only had trems.

My RGA7 is filling the void for now, but I may have to get a custom body to get close to an HRG.

@Crungy I wish there were more rga7 variants. Prestige, flat finish like hrgs/121s with or without the plain maple top. Actually I just want to try a diff Gibraltar 7, but don't want a xiphos lol.

There's a walnut flat ir27 with a fixed bridge on reverb since you said that ^ but I'm also not using these relics right now. Need to sell to fund a custom body LOL

Look at us typical forum members, wanting guitars that are a spec or two off lmao

I've been a little love/hate with the Gibraltar bridge, but I think I'm finally liking it again. Even the RGA7 as a whole: I liked it at first, then wasn't vibing with it and now I'm back to liking it. Especially with 707's.

I didn't realize there were a couple of those on there right now... Decent prices too.
