NGD - RG517 FBL
I picked this up a few weeks ago off of that auction site. It's a 97 in terrific shape with only on bit of rash on the back. I didnt care for the sound of the Vs that were in it so I swapped them out of a Tone Zone / Blue Velvet / Air Norton set. I may try that magnet swap trick on those at some point.
The size of flake in the finish falls somewhere between AMF bowling ball and bassboat levels.

I frickin love sparkle finishes. that is great. the ultimate for me would be if it had a reverse matching headstock and maple board but damn, that thing is still sharp.!!

Killer man! Looks to be in great shape!
I like that pickup color combo. I've got the green version, but it's got EMGs, so it doesn't look too exciting!

Very nice. My first Ibanez was almost a flake silver RG517 ($330 new back in 1997 LOL!) but then I got a killer deal on a different Ibby so I let that one go. I'd still love to find one of the flake silver ones.

Thats nice man, looks like its in super awesome condition too. Definitely a good idea to swap the stock pickups, I'm not a fan of them either.

Looks like a winning combo there. Good snag.
