Re: My modded RG7620 (RG550DY look) and RG7420

thanks for the comments

@ Ki swordsman: the finish on the 7420 is matte

as posted on another forum here's a partial breakdown of the costs:
the current conversion from Philippine Peso to US Dollar is P46=$1 but i'll use P50=$1 for easier computation

rosewood to maple (including maple board, refret and labor charge) - $80
3ply pickguard for 7620 - $30
single ply pickguard for 7420 - $26
customized brass bridge for 7420 - $60
Desert yellow refinish - $70
matte finish on 7420 - $50
RG1527 pickups for the 7420 - $30

here are some outdoor pics:




thanks for looking
