Just picked this up today....


and really pleased with it. I know this is a guitar that seems to polarise opinion but I think it looks bloody fantastic....and it plays as good as it looks.

Anyone know if the reported 100 limited run is actually true and is there any way of verifying it?

Thanks Chris

Whoo, I like that, man. Very nice.

Looks like it simply has a 1570 neck on it - which is a good thing. I can't get over how nice the neck on my 1570 is. For the money, it simply can't be beat.

If the information I've read is correct then the whole guitar is a 1570 but swirled and sold as an RG20051

The only problem I can see with that idea is the pickups... I can't see the absolute worth in the special treatment unless it has nicer pickups than the v-7 and v-8.

Great looking guitar.

I know it's an RG1570 underneath, but you've got to love that marble swirl.

I think it looks great and would still look cool with nice DiMarzios in black or chrome.
