Ibanez RG-PR2 Prestige "Texas Special"

Devnor · #1 04-17-2007, 01:04 PM

Hey guys,

Check out this RGPR2:

I bought this yesterday from a girl in Austin TX with every intention of flipping it but I've seemingly become attached to it. Made in Japan - F95XXXXX serial number. It's in great condition; never gigged, a few back edge dings on the body but the neck & headstock is perfect. The frets have little (if any) wear. Hardware (Lo-Pro Edge) is in excellent shape. It's got the pearl binding like a UV777BK and abalone purfling. The 3 piece neck has a flamed maple section right down the middle.

It sounds KILLER. The color is magenta (almost matches my Suhr Standard)

I'll have better pics in a couple days. Enjoy!

Texas Specials are mighty nice, but I'd take your Suhr anyday - It would make a nice pair with mine

i like the ibanez version better telling from those 2 pics. but Suhr's are very nice don't get me wrong, I'm sure yours plays as well if not better than some ibanez's

Suhr's play unbelievably well. As Guthrie Govan would say, "eerily perfect".

Hey. I have the same guitar. It came with dimarz tone zone at the bridge and air norton on neck. I just didn't like the combo with this guitar. I put other combo pup's. Finally, I got EMG's in there and what an amazing combo. It's the same woods as a les paul just with a soloist body. I have a gibson sounding guitar with a soloist shape and trem bar with 24 frets. Guitar made in heaven.
