My latest purchase - Ibanez RG760!

This is my latest purchase, a 1992 Ibanez RG760 in Jewel Blue. Its a cracking guitar all-round yet again from Ibanez. I have never played an RG7xx series before, only RG5xx series - but I think I can tell a difference. The RG7xx series is just slightly more "solid" if you know what I mean? The sharktooth inlays and the binding are very cool.

It has a few dinks on the body, but thats just how I like em - played-in. It is also my first experience with the IBZ-USA pickups, and I am impressed. They are much better than the V series pickups anyway.

I need to change the strings asap, and it needs a bit more of a polish here and there. But I will get round to this at the weekend. I have a few DiMarzio's on the way (PAF Pro, ToneZone) from Pete (lhrocker) so I may change the bridge humbucker yet I dont know.

I have gone off of trem equipped guitars to be honest, but this I just had to have for £250 w/hardcase. And Im glad I did, its a lovely guitar!

Nice guitar Gary !

It's a pre-AANJ type is it ?

Paul Gilbert seems to be doing a hell of a lot of workshops,guest-appearances and guitar magazine tutorials these days don't you think.

Maybe he's a bit low on the cash front.

Yeh it is, its Original Access neck joint.
I prefer the AANJ to be honest, but it was a small price to pay. I can put up with the Original Access neck joint with this guitar! lol
