My modded RG7620 (RG550DY look) and RG7420

[zasam4]

my stock RG7620 needs a refret

brought to a local luthier for refretting. i then realized why not change the fingerboard to maple too.


now it looks like a RG550 7string


so why not mod it to look like a real RG550

got the RG7420 cheap without the trem and pickups. so i brought it again to my luthier to make a brass 7string fixed bridge.

OT: i got a 7string single coil which i dismantled. im not yet sure how im gonna do the faux middle pickup for the DY. need some ideas. thanks

that DY-7 looks completely awesome.

I was thinking of doing the exactly the same as you did with the 7 string DSY "550". I just bought a body, neck and trem - all 7 string - cheap off the bay.

Anyways, what you could do is take a metal bar and hot glue it in place under the single coil plastic top. Then attach screws or hex screws on top of the bar at the right spacing. Make the bar long enough so you can attach it to the pickguard underneath.

the DY is a dream!!!

Congrats!

I prefer the 2H setup (but that way it's not a 550 ). With or without the single coil this guitar is AMAZING!

Have you considered installing a piezo system to the fixed bridge?

Those are great, the DSY looks the goods that's for sure!

is that black one matte with a gloss black pickguard? the contrast looks great, love the DY too!!!

He said he took it to a luthier to get the frets replaced and decided to do the fretboard as well.

Wow, where did you find that perfect Desert Sun Yellow paint? I'm thinking of painting my room that colour.
