WTB: any customized RG

[djpak]

looking for any customized RGs, specifically with Vine necks, or with sustainers, 6 or 7 strings, dont have to have vine or sustainer, i just think it would be cool, customized painting and jem mods also.

Just finished this one and it is sweet! started with a very clean early 90s maple board rg550, very clean board! see pics..replaced edge with a lopro. Installed custom ordered gold pole peice-evo2/hs2/evo pups, sounds killer..custom etruscan style pickgaurd and matching truss cover. all gold screws. chrome gold logo,gold sparkles on a aged antique white sort of reliced paint job. comes with case. pro setup just completed.. If it had a monkey grip, pretty close to a Jem

well, here is what I put into it..350 for guitar, 190 worth of new pups, 25 in hardware and new 5way selector, hours of sanding, paint and supplies? and pro set up and pup wire at 100 bucks..Ive got well over 600 bucks into it and enjoyed every bit of the job. I know I more than likely wont get what I put in it.. If u r interested pm me and we can work something out..It truly is a sweet 550..Im wanting to create another so this one needs a good home. Comes with case...

2002 Ibanez RG 550 that has some serious upgrades! For starters it has the Fernandes Sustainer system. If you are unfamiliar with that basically it has 2 modes. The first is a natural sustain the second is a harmonic sustain!
Heres an example. http://www.fernandesguitars.com/sustainer/susvideo.html

The sustainer is used by Steve Vai, The Edge, Zakk Wylde just to name a few. The sustainer works on one 9 volt battery. There is a battery compartment for the battery as well. The controls cavity doesnt have a plate. The tech who installed it did everything but make a plate. I had paper taped to it for protection. A plate wont be hard to have made. But the paper idea might be cool to some because there are 3 small trim pots that you might want to adjust to get diffrent variations of sustain and if you had a screw in plate you would have the holes stripped in no time!

The other upgrades include the Ibanez Lo Pro Trem! I bought that trem BRAND NEW last month!!! This is the same trem Steve Vai uses on all of his guitars!!!!

The bridge pickup is a Dimarzio Evolution the same that Steve Vai uses! Its an amazing pickup to say the least!! And the guitar has a white Dimarzio Clip Lock strap installed on it. The pickguard is a custom shop Pearl pickguard that was made by Chandler.
The guitar has a Wizard Neck that has been treated for max playability!!!! The guitar is made out of Basswood and the neck is maple as well as the fretboard.
This 550 has the All Access Neck Joint!
The tuners are stock as well as the nut. The guitar is set up with GHS 9-46 and the action is really really nice!!! The nick name for the Ibanez RG550 is the poor mans Jem. And that is a perfect name! The 550 is a SHRED MACHINE!!!! You will get everything I mentioned above and nothing that I didnt. The guitar comes in the really nice padded gig bag. There is a little ding on the guitar that cant be seen really well. but I tried to get a pic of it. Asking price....
$650.00
Shipping to lower 48 states is $45.00 and rest of the planet is bout $80-90.00
