RG Project

With the winter break coming soon I thought I would get out my old beat up RG and do a little tune up. This is kinda what I'm aiming for:



At this point the most important thing would be choosing the stain colour. What do you guys think?

Re: RG Project

A little update on the project, this is how the guitar looks like right now:



The new idea is to put a flamed or quilted maple veneer on top of that and stain the wood in a RG-ART kind of a fashion. Expect the next update in like a week or so...

Re: RG Project

Looking good.

What kind of bridge are you putting in it? I would've thought you would've gone for a standard fixed bridge? Easier, and no need to route out a hole.

Re: RG Project

you could probably fit a floyd rose on there. the mounting holes are identical to my rg120 body, which had a fat10 and fits a floyd. just double check the mesurements before you put one just in case. can wait to see it when its finished!

Re: RG Project
