RG547

[panholio]

Hi,

Totally new to this site.. I stumbled across it looking for some info on my RG.

I bought it about 10 years ago and it is an RG547.

Here is a pic:



Just wondered if anyone knows anything about this guitar and what it might be worth.

Did a search and there were a couple of threads it was mentioned in but no real info. I can't find it in any of the Ibanez catalogues either. The serial number is F513530 - I presume this means it was made in 1995?

Thanks for reading!

Cheers,

I'm thinking of selling it so that gives me some idea. I presume you mean US Dollars.


Or do I keep it?!

Oooh, nice guitar!

Original EDGE bridge too. I'd say keep it, and put some hotter pickups in there.

Looks like a nice guitar, and I don't recall ever seeing one. I would hold on to it. Please don't give it away for a stupid price. Pickups: it might look good with cream and black zebras. Two black Ibanez Sure Grip II knobs too.

That body looks like light ash.

Nice guitar you have there!

Sell it it me for a fiver ?

But yeah on the UK market, probably about £400 or so would be a sensible price to offer it at (unless you do wanna sell it to me for a fiver? )

Thanks for the replies people.

The guitar is in dire need of a good setting up really, intonation is all out etc etc. I've had a read through of all the guides on here so might will give it a go myself.

I really don't play it regularly enough (my knackered old acoustic gets most of my attention) but would like to. I think perhaps if I upgraded the pickups (any recommendations?) and got it all perfectly set up I'd be more tempted to get it out of the case. It is a nice guitar and probably not worth selling for £400.

Thought a new guitar might provide some inspiration but it's kind of a rare looking RG, and has the edge bridge so I think I'll get it up to scratch.

The body is perfect but the fretboard could do with a good clean and some of the gold on the hardware has faded.

Thanks again, I'll continue to read the site!

A sweet guitar, I would hold on to it at least til' you find out more info on it....heck, it could be rare.

HANG ONTO IT! Properly setup you'll love that thing, especially with that bridge!

Just thought I'd add a bit of an update to this thread.

I had my guitar set up by Max at Cottam Guitars last week, picked it up on Friday.

It is now SUPERB. Completely rekindled my love for it, I am playing it non stop!

Thanks for the advice to keep it! I'm so glad I did.

Had a chat about pick up upgrades as well so this may be on the horizon.

Cheers!

Good to hear that.
