Why?

Hey,
as I heard the body of RG 1527 RB is made out of 4 Parts? And another two wooden parts glued from the top and bottom that you donīt see it?
On a german board one guy gave two of his 1527s to a guitar builder to refinish them...
If you speak german...pics of finished guitars inside...

I think itīs a shame!

The thread is 267 pages long. Where are the pics? There is no way I would look through it, and I doubt anyone else would either.

Multi-piece bodies are common, this is nothing new. It's cheap to produce, that's why they do it. It sucks. But that's life, and life sucks sometimes.

Ooops... I´m sorry
Pics of those finished 1527s are on the previous page:

Multi-piece bodies are new to me never heard that Ibanez is producing like that.
Even my old cheap 7420 is made out of one part...

Really? You are very lucky to get a one-piece body!

Thanks for the link.

These look great. I love the one with cream pickups.

How do you know it's one piece, and not four with a top and back piece to cover it up?

Multi piece bodies are less prone to cracking, warping, cupping, etc.

This pretty much sums it up.
