My RG550 Project is Complete

Well, my latest endevor into DIY customizing has yeilded a pretty cool looking guitar. I started out with a Road Flare Red body (The pics make it look orange, but it's not) that is in excellent condition and went from there. Most of the parts I had laying around. It has a Tone Zone - HS3 - Air Norton configuration and a Jem mirrored pickguard.
And, YES, those are Blue DiMarzio knobs you see :thumbsup:.

Road Flare Red RG - Close Up

Road Flare Red RG

The neck was just adjusted, so it has to sit for a while before the next adjustment and setup. But it doesn't play bad as-is.

Man! *The only thing that would make that better would be getting a Monkey Grip and Lion's Claw put in, but maybe that was something to think about before getting such a nice finish. *:loco: lol *Nice though!

(Man, I need money...I'M NEVER GONNA GET A DECENT GUITAR!!! *)

Just to set the record strait...I didn't paint or have the body painted. I bought it just as it is...and it came in excellent+++ condition. *The rest of the parts I had laying around the house.

BTW...it may be for sale soon...but I haven't decided yet.

Yeah, that pickguard caught me off guard too, I thought it was painted. Very Cool. *Jimm you have too many cool guitars, it's not fair *Are you playing with a Band anytime soon? *Always in mood for good music.

Seanp,
I'm not currently with any band...I would love to form an 80's metal cover band and do bar gigs on the weekends though.

We're jealous. * Very cool axe!
No need for a "monkey grip" (.....how does a monkey grip, anyway?)

Great colors. Ibanez take note: bring back those WAY COOL colors like Road Flare Red & Violet Pearl!!!!!

Nope...I bought the body off **** and the neck came from BammBamm...I think. It now has a rather nise rosewood neck on it that came free with a Jem body I purchased some time ago...
