bought this guitar a few years back from a friend of a friend of a friend etc... apparently the dude was a drug addict and needed some $ so he got $75 and i got another guitar.

i love it i cant figure out what rg it is though

its id is F157496

HSH, no pickguard, IBZUSAF2 in the bridge, IBZUSAc3 in the middle and the top humbucker is worn off. no pickguard, wizard 1 neck, sharkfin inlays, locking trem "liscensed under floyd rose"

its a really cool color, hard to describe w/o pics, purple in low lighting and bright blue when light hits it.

The serial number says it's a '91 model, but they often rolled over to the next year. The '91 catalog doesn't seem to have a match, but the '92 does:

Looks like you've got an RG770. For $75 ? You got a helluva deal there !!

Want to make a profit? I'll give you $80 right now!

Seriously, great guitar and $75 just makes it sweeter.

Interestingly I believe it's a '92 year model body with the direct mounted pickups! cool o see it with a 91 neck.

Fantastic guitar in any colour

It's a 1992 catalog model. Built in 1991.
Some guitars in the 2009 catalog were actually built in 2008. No trouble there.
