whoot just got another RG550(L)..

[Lefty Robb]

Although not as colorful as my RFR one, this will make a good body and setup to put my BFP neck on. THe previous owner already pimped it out the way I like with H/H and moved the volume away from the bridge, and I don't think theres a tone knob.. I'll copy the pickguard and have anther made for my RFR body, and put this neck on it as well. the only downside is that he put a lo-pro on it . Then both, over the next few months will get the same treatment my Jackson got (full pro setup, level, crown etc). It cost $310 btw...

just gotta figure out what pickups to put in it...

I'll take better pics when I get it in the mail...

I recently got the same guitar (lefty too). I was trying to get my buddy to buy the one you got. For some reason I love the V2/V1

You have a lefty RFR one? Custom paint?

no, its not custom, origional 1990 Road Flare Red lefty, very rare..I just need to restore it a bit, back in the day I had a marshall amp head fall on it and break the neck, wore out the second neck, and this will be the third, I also need a new guard for it.

Congratz! Wow it looks like it's upside down

Figure out a way to liven it up! It's really black! Congrats

yeah, a BFP neck and blue pickups...\m/

for the most part it will look like this eccept with a pickguard and the pickups will be different (most likely be all blue):



that body is an old standard joint RG470L which I like because its a rear route, but there's no contour at all at the heel, not even the half slant like a 550, so I deemed it unplayable.

Nice score, that is going to look awesome with the BFP neck, blue pickups and black pickguard. I think i'd prefer that combo over black and green as seen on the Jem777VBK. Congrats!

Do you plan on sanding the headstocks logo off and reapplying left handed, or just leaving it Jimi style?

Yep, Blue > Green anyday..Don't forget its also reverse headstock, mwhahahaha

I was going to get it swirled down the road but the blue/black combo might just be fine..

Logo stays right where it is, I think its cool, its my way of saying "**** you" to Ibanez...

[satchboogeyman]

Good score Lefty. Is the anger towards Ibanez due to lack of left handed models?

Hmmm, I don't know how you could come to that conclusion.

[Koss]

Yeah, we've all been there before.
