While auction-surfing today (as I'm often prone to do during my lunch break), I noticed that someone is selling a mahogany-bodied RG-570. I always assumed that all 570's were made of basswood.
Anyway, the question is, are come 570's made out of basswood and others made out of mahogany? Is there any easy way to tell?
I'm curious because I bought an older 570 last week and assumed it would be made out of basswood. I have yet to actually get my mitts on the guitar. If it helps any at all, here are pics:
The type of wood will largely determine what pickups I put into the guitar, assuming that the stock
Ibanez pickups won't give me that special feeling. Regardless of what type of wood it is, I'm pretty stoked to have a 570 with a lo-pro, AANJ, and direct-
mount pickups.
Thanks,
