Its kinda hard to tell from the photos. Ask him for a close-up of the bridge. Then you will be able to tell whether its a Lo-Pro or a Lo-TRS.
Hopefully for you it will be the better out of the two!
hmmm he has had 4 transactions on ebay, 2 of which have been negative giving him a feedback score of 0. I wouldn't trust him :roll: definitely don't pay unitl you have confirmation of whether its a RG1527 or 7420. if it is in fact a 7420 you can refuse to pay because the item does not match the sellers description, hope it gets sorted out ok :?
That's clearly a lo-pro 7 so the guitar is 7620 without a doubt.
Excellent price even if the condition is not that great.
Congrats.

p.s. make sure you collect the guitar as the guy doesn't have a great ebay track - and getting from Slough to Guildford and back will probably cost less than £20 anyway.

Heh I just remembered the pickup routing differences and you're right. Also, going by the specs on Jemsite, the 7620 is the only one offered in black.
So it looks like I might have got a 7620 for £210?
That is a 7620. The 1527 has the "Prestige" headstock, and if you look at the last picture of the bridge from the side, you can see the knife edge insert on the Lo-Pro Edge bridge. TRS-7 bridges don't have that.
Be very cautious with the transaction. He's 50/50 on his feedback. 8O
There are most definitely black RG7420s out there, in the Australian market at least. Ibanez is quite well known for having different colours in different regions. But yes, the knife edge insert gives that away as a 7620. Hey, it may not be a 1527, but you get better pickups in a 7620, and locking bridge studs.
Nathan, Seriousl it IS an rg7620, Without a shadow of doubt, But collect it please, Don't even think of sending him cash ... At least not without your hands connected to it :lol:
Great catch, I was keeping an eye on it, But how many 7 strings do i really need lol
Right, I've got an email from the seller and he seems "ok". I don't think he's been totally honest in his description though. Basically he says he bought the guitar from a friend without knowing the model number, and looked at the ibanez site to find the nearest thing.
He's sent me a pic of the bridge, and it certainly looks like a Lo Pro Edge (and therefore a 7620)) .. BUT.. It's pretty rusty:
I'd have to agree with Jem7RB about not handing over the readies till you have the guitar in your hands, but that trem looks like it will clean up OK. You may well yet have a bargin.
I've found that close up pictures of trems often look much worse than looking at them in person. The trem doesn't look bad to me, I think it would clean up nicely.
I can always do a clean up on the trem for ya, And set-up to your standards ;-) great buy, trust me tho dude, i've had trems in FAR worse condition clean up well
Yeah, I actually like grubby guitars, it tells me theyve been played and it gives me suming to do. As long as the condition isnt too bad, they can always be scrubbed-up nicely. I reckon you have a bargain there my friend. Enjoy it.

- It is an RG7620
- It's not in too bad condition, the pictures do look worse
- The seller threw in a gig bag to make up for the crustiness of the guitar
- He also let me take it for £200 instead of £210 as he didn't have the whammy bar.
I played it a little last night and it seems great, but desperately needs a good cleaning and some fresh strings (the 3 high strings were black with dirt).
Very nice one indeed, I love when you win an item and pick it up straight away from their house. Yeah, with a bit of a clean and scrub-up it should look lovely. Of course you will have to show us a pic. It looks like you got one hell of a bargain dude, £200!

Was that the link to the auction or the rusty bridge pic?
The auction link was straight to ebay, the other was to a jpeg on a server at my old workplace. I reckon you should run adaware or something similar on your pc!
