NGD USA Custom Graphic....My 1st

Fastmerc · #1 11-26-2012, 06:43 PM

Well my first USCG arrived and I couldn't be much more pleased. It came in better shape than I was actually expecting and REVERSE heady....I love em. I think I am going back to the IBZ F2 and F1 as I have a set. Im pretty sure I have a C2 hidden somewhere in the house, but I may be on the lookout for one of those if I can't find it.

"Streetwise"
Here she is:

Congrats. Great guitars and assembled in Hollywood by people who took pride in their work. EMGs may be stock. As well as any F or C series plus a number of Dimarzios. Use what you like and enjoy the hell out of it. I'd say you got a great deal. Did it come with a case?

Very nice. Streetwise is a sweet graphic.

I did get an Ibanez case with it in very good shape, but just a normal rectangular tolex style rg140c I believe is the model. The EMG's might be stock, but I already have like 8 or 9 guitars with emgs so Im gunna pull em.

Nice. Was that on eBay recently?

I don't know that I've seen an F1 in the neck of a UCGR, usually I've seen F4's. But that's the beauty of it: it could have come with anything so whatever you put in there is "right".

My awesome "Surprise" that I bought from TAorama during his big selloff has a C1 in the middle, which I've not ever seen before.

Yeah, I just don't have an F4 atm. I prolly put the f1 in and check it out, if I don't like it I will hunt down a 4. I had a thread started in the pickups section on what I should put in it, when it arrived.

Yes it was on the bay, however I bought it straight from the guy after an ebay bidder didn't come through with the money.

Great score, totally love that guitar, looks amazing and the reverse headstock is ultra cool on those. Congratz!!!!

Cool guitar there and the reverse is nice too. Congrats.

Well the F1 was used in the neck position on the 540R for a while and that's a basswood guitar. I'd say go with that, it sounds pretty cool. This is a pretty good explanation of the different pickups from the '91 Ibanez catalog (thanks to Rich's site for the pic)

Fastmerc · #11 11-27-2012, 08:04 PM

Well I put the F2 and F1 in today, had to settle for an S1 in the middle for now as I couldnt find anything else. Love how the F2 is sounding so far, the F1 isn't bad either, but I may have to hunt a 4 down and try it out also.
