saw an RG 450 white with maple board. kinda rough shape, going to see it soon. for 200 dollars. should i pull the trigger if the hardware is not bad? what should i look at in regards to a wizard neck? thanks

What year is it? If it is an early Japanese made one with a square heel and has an original EDGE trem, I'd say it is worth it. Those early ones had RG550 necks and EDGE trems and only cheaper pickups and slightly thicker neck heel than the 550's.

Can you post the serial number? If so we can tell you what year and where it was made.

Regardless of country of origin, $200 is a good deal. If it has a crappy LO-TRS II replace with something like a Gotoh licensed Floyd Rose. You will have an awesome axe for little money.
