Gilbert project guitar. Please help!!

[CaptainEO]

Hello everyone!
After YouTube-ing Gilberts instructional video I have decided to try and either find or part together a replica of a purple Ibanez he rocks in intense part 1. does anyone have any information on what model it is, or what kind of pickups he is using. I am a guitar builder by trade so I can modify another guitar but I wanted to try this out first.
Thanks!
Tye

That guitar is Telesalvales and belongs to EKG last time I checked (he's a vendor if you look on the banner above.)

He's a really cool guy so I'm sure he'll tell you everything you need to know about it

AFAIK Its either a modded 550 rg or a 570 rg with a pickguard slapped on.

If you check our www.ibanezregister.com theres pictures of that guitar. SOme guy bought it and posted some.

Post pics when you finish the build!

Thanks you guys!!
Do either of you have an opinion on cover vs. non-cover pickups when it comes to shred?

Everyone's got an opinion. Use what you like! That way you'll be happy.
