Indeed, they are M7's and they are extremely ferocious.

I am now an official Ibanez owner! I bought my dream guitar this week, an Ibanez RG1077XL. As said, it's my dream guitar, and has been since I saw it for the first time last year. It's in pretty decent condition, but since I bought it used (through a music shop though), it's got a couple of nicks in the finish, especially around the arm countour on the front. I'm a clumsy SOB, so it doesn't really matter. I had to get a new spring for the trem, since the previous owner had blocked the trem (screwed über tight in the back), and I couldn't get the angle I wanted with 3 springs. Also I've got fret buzz at 1st, although this is probably an easy fix, since the nut is shimmed, but is slant towards the bridge. Also it lacks the locking "pads" at the nut. But hey! It's the guitar that was basically made for me! And it performs exactly like I imagined it. The pickups are stock, but they sound amazing, so I wont be changing those anytime soon!

Picture time boys and girls!

Lovely guitar. They simply rock.



Also its a RG2077xl since this has the edge pro bridge and it will have a top mounted locking nut. The RG1077xl has a lo pro bridge and a bottom mounted locking nut.



Still its a badass guitar.


Welcome to club Ibanez.

Thanks! Happy to finally own an Ibanez!

Okay! But I checked the serial on it, and compared it to the charts here on Jemsite, and it's made in 2002, and the 2077xl's were made 2003-2004. Could be wrong though.

It definatly an Rg2077xl. I've got one myself so i know what to look for. Just trying to clear up any confusion. Here's a quick guide to the 2 (very similar) models.

Here is a Rg1077xl

And here is my RG2077xl. (note the different bridge)

RG1077xl -

Has a lo pro bridge
Has no truss rod cover
Has locking nut mounted from back of neck


Rg2077xl -

Has edge pro bridge
Has truss rod cover
Has locking nut mounted on fretboard side of neck.


Those are the main differences. Now to confirm it you can take the neck off and it'll have the model number and year stamped in the neck pocket. But those are the main differences. 1077's were for american markets (i believe) and 2077's were for european markets.



So i apologise if i come across as an arse by shoving all that in your face. I'm just clearing any confusion as i said before. I originally thought i had a 1077 when i bought mine but after some digging and some questions i knew i had the 2077.


So congrats (again) on finding a super (and rare) guitar.


Peace.

Okay! Thanks again! Haha, no hard feelings. I'm just glad to know (without a doubt) which model it is.

Thanks man! However, problems have decided to show up. Bought pressure pads for the nut this week, and the threads which holds the low B and E were blown! And where I live a new nut is expensive! I will try to redrill the hole and re-thread it to a larger diamter, and just get a new bolt. Any suggestions?
