I don't know. The art mirror just looke like a cheapo version of the real one to me. I know this one is more rare and all, but how can cutting out plastic pieces in the same shape be as cool as the one that was stained in the wood grain? I'll take the original over this one any day.

Well of course thats just your opinion, but You say it as cutting out mirror is not a form of Artistic abilities. Many artists do this type of work and has just as much merit as staining wood with paint....

Having to copy the painted version takes some artistic skill, and would take some time in making it, so it is a workable solution for a playable guitar. I dont think it looks cheap, I just think its a different finish on a guitar that you dont see often, where as painted or stained wood, is well, very common.....

And its a one off. thats my biggest drawcard....

Is it actual glass or Plexi?

Yeah Freak, I agree, it is definitely an art form. No disrespect to that. And it is done exceptionally well also. I'm just saying that maybe if I saw this one first and then they came out with the stained one, maybe I would be heralding this one. But after seeing the stained one first, this one just comes off as toyish to me.

Pretty sure it's mirrored plexi.

ART is the best! I may be a tad biased because I have one

I also like the Egypt a lot. I also like the Gear and the Time!

But I think my next guitar will be the Prestige puzzle guitar. I have always liked the way they look!

A friend of mine bought that RG-Art, here is a couple of pictures of the guitar.

Flobanez · #25 08-24-2008, 01:33 AM

That RG-Art is beautiful.

Lefty Robb · #26 08-24-2008, 02:59 AM

Is it me or does that thing have like the lowest action ever?

alecmm61 · #27 08-24-2008, 03:42 AM

wow that thing looks sweet, im wondering does anyone have a nice picture of the rg egypt the only ones i can find are tiny and could barley see the whole guitar a nice full picture would be great if any one has any.

ibz_SA · #28 08-24-2008, 03:53 AM

Just about my friend. Beatiful guitar, they dont make RG-graphics anymore do they?

Okay, I have to chime in from lurking: that thing is crazy awesome - I bet under stage
lights the reflections blind audience members.

Kudos!

The magenta J. Custom is nice too.
