hi....

i want share with you my custom RG565 something like the Paul's ghostrider guitar on 'intense rock II' video. you know

before (original):

now (custom):

change pickups. only one pot. repaint. and with a Seymour Duncan JB and a Dimarzio Fast Track 2 on neck.

it still needs wiring. this is the reason i opened a thread asking the wiring diagram of this guitar. but now i dont need it... i took the guitar to a excellent luthier.

F'king awesome. Control / pickup layout is almost perfect (I would have relocated the vol knob in between the original positions of the vol + tone). White pickups highlight the logo nicely.

Sell it to meeeeee!

There we go.

Cool! But I like the original black pickups better!

here the Paul's ghostrider guitar:

Dee... you can see that the volume pot is just in the tone position.
but i also like your option.

That looks great! Got any pictures of the process of filling the old volume knob hole? Or at least a description of the process? I'm always curious about things like that.

If Ibanez sold that guitar I would go and buy one tomorrow.

GREAT job Danijem

pg always had some pretty nifty customs that would make cool production guitars....

Mother of GOD!!!! THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT. Man, I'm jealous. Great job, love the white pickups, looks oustanding.

I'd rather have both volume and tone pots...

Anyway, sweeeeeet axe!!! She looks awsome!

Yes, sir! I understand why you did it. Love that Ghostrider, btw.

i really dig the mod.
but that 565 was sooooo cooooool on the original form!!!

Lovely! I hope that I'll be able to find a nice RG565 someday. If or when I'll get one I'm gonna get it modded:
-scallop the fretboard
-paint it white w. matching headstock (black Ibanez logos)
-DiMarzio HS-3/YJM as a neck pup
-DiMarzio PAF pro as bridge pup

:P
