Anyone know any Russian lol?

So yeah does anyone know much info about this, model # ect.

Also serial and text underneath it look weird.

I am pretty sure it is a J-Custom RG-1302LBU (the LBU is the finish name). It is an older J-C, from 1996-97.

yep. rg1302lbu. i have one.

[Flobanez]

Nice guitar.

[akoch]

I know Russian. There is not much in the descriptions though. And I am unsure about the serial number either.

Yeh TBH that's what I'm most interested in. The wood has a very interesting grain.

then j-customs/usa customs are not for you.

Dig that finish!

Most definitely an RG1302LBU.

(Now I feel bad for selling mine... )

The countersunk strap pins are strange. If I remember correctly, it's a Jim Dunlop thing, right? They require an irreversible body modification; impossible to replace them by Schallers, for example.

Ibanez should offer more ash/ alder bodied RG's but sadly they don't.

Yeah they're the Dunlop style ones. You don't need to counter sink them to work, but Ibanez just wanted to be different. You *COULD* reverse them by plugging the hole with a dowel and putting another strap pin in, but I don't mind the strap lock system they have.
