Yay or nay? Help me decide! (RGA72)

A buddy of mine is trying to sell me his mint Ibanez RGA72QME loaded with EMG 81/85 and a hardcase all for $500 USD flat. Good deal or bad? attached a photo as well. Thanks guys!

I see no problem with this. I approve

This seems like a great deal to me..any more thoughts? I've got a set of BKP aftermaths so I figure i'll just sell the 81/85 and throw those in.

You can get an RGA121 for about that much, sometimes a little more. It depends on whether or not you like playing that guitar.

Yeah I would much rather prefer RGA121 over this one, especially since the 121 goes for like $600 these days

Yeah, I love that guitar. However the other guitarist in my band has it, not really an option as it would be lame to have the same exact thing unless I were to refinish it

A dude here has the RGA121 in trans black for $500 shipped

Really a lovely looking guitar.

One thing to keep in mind about the 121 is that the gibraltar plus bridge has no per-string height adjustment.

I agree xD is it an Ibby? what pups?

That certainly is a steal! I'd go for it if i were you, however if you decide to go against it hit me up and i'll buy it! haha
