dumb, but harmless
it's one of dino's first LACS before he switched to reverse headstock/countersunk jacks. more of a RG7620 on steroids. It was refurbished/refinished by frank falbo.
What is your "white whale" guitar?

@3:05 and 3:35 are amazingly Devin moments. I used to watch the part 1 on repeat to learn how be played the intro to "Truth" because all the tabs were wrong.
This model? It's the RGT3120 (or RGT3170 Japan-only market).
RGT3120
The RGT3120 is an RG series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2002. It was the first production RG model with a neck-thru construction. It is made in Japan by FujiGen as part of the upscale Prestige line. The RGT3120 features mahogany body wings with a AAA flamed maple top...

This one got away from me.

That white Tele is 90% of the reason I bought my contemporary Tele
Closest I've ever seen them come to releasing a hum/hum white telecaster with maple board + inlays.

While I do love the white with maple (and that’s spurned almost all gas’s since then) the black one really has my knickers in a twist. Gotta be the bindingThat white Tele is 90% of the reason I bought my contemporary Tele

This one has blown me away and making me rethink the other 10 guitars on the wall. Pickups are f'n killer, too. HT is not a marketing gimmick, this Saber can do it all - harmonics jumping out everywhere with minimal to no effort.
Doesn't hurt that it's white and the first song I played on it was Blood and Thunder, 'eh?

Out of curiosity where did you see this for sale?

I have a few that I'll never end up with.
A 86-87 Kramer "American" Beretta. With a caveat. Maple board top mounted Floyd and not a baretta 2 body shape. Most have rosewood boards. They exist though, rare as hell. Wouldn't want it black or would refinish if it was.
Second is a hamer scepter explorer
Third is a Ibanez pl 2660
And finally for this post an 84 style explorer with a kahler and ebony board

Hey that's my picture!Vapula stuff is golden and that specific 8 string explorer has been a top 5 guitar for me ever since I first saw it.
Production wise, I'll echo the earlier S5470Q WCB and also add the limited-run RG752R WCB that Axe Palace did:
I was after a Wild Cherry Blossom, and still am, and back then this guy popped up on Reverb. I was mostly after the RG2820QZ in this finish, but I figured it was worth trying. As much as I loved the look of it, truly stunning and can only be appreciated in person, I just couldn't jive with its tone. I swapped out pickups in it several times and I still couldn't jive with it.
I ended up selling it for a stupidly low price, oddly, no one really wanted it. I sometimes regret it, but then I'm reminded it just wasn't for me.
Still, my white whale is this damn RG2820QZ. It's been years of searching with no luck. One did pop up recently, first in years, but it was grossly overpriced, as in even more than its new price.

I like some pretty wild one offs. I think my most lusted after, This orange Jackson tele. Then maybe the KXK Grape 8. The rest are just cool to me

A birthday and birthyear Gibson Les Paul Custom. Although, it might be a subpar one considering the year, but that is fine by me.

He looks like a character from Lord of the Rings in this one!
I've been aware he was putting out some killer albums since the '90s, but have only really been diving into them over the last 2 years or so. Great player and more importantly a great writer, and has a voice like a demon when he wants it....and it's always interesting to hear his take on things.

While the white one is a full-on custom, I think the black one is just a heavily-modified ESP Ron Wood tele. You can even see the screws for what WAS a pickguard.
Get an ESP (or LTD) Ronnie Wood sig, Route out the bridge pickup for an humbucker and replace it with an EMG. Install an EMG in the neck and add a black pickup ring. Boom. Done. White whale achieved.
