I've seen the RG-METAL, played it, and i felt in love with her. It looks GORGEOUS, FANTASTIC in person, and i think, like the Jem 90, pictures don't do it justice. It was surely one of the nicest, prettiest guitars i've ever seen. I was stupid enough not to buy it, wasting too much time deciding if i liked more the RG-METAL or the Jem 7VWH. The day i decided to buy the RG-METAL it was sold. Imagine my stupid face when the guy told me...
I remember chatting with Armindo about this and keep in mind the Metal is quite EXPENSIVE overseas. Bottom line is it just wasn't meant to be. There *will* be another guitar to take it's place ... glen
Yeah they had the RG Metal here in Singapore at one time, but some little rich kid who already had a few jems and only could play 3 chords bought it. Never got the opportunity to try it though. But it looked really dull to me. The jem90 however was a nice one. Nicer than the metal IMHO.
Glen what's this about a guitar to take it's place? Tell tell!
Yeah, i talked to Glen a few times when it was for sale. It was expensive, the sales price was something like $2200, but the guy in the store lowered that to $1700 (including the J-Custom case). Ah, i live in Portugal, and the prices here are SLIGHTLY (read A LOT!!!) higher that US prices...
You really do have to see it in person. It is just like they say a gold leaf on a body then heavy on the clear (which really looks thick) but those pictures do it no justice....
Thanks for bringing it David, oh and before I forget the matching headstock was awsome......Gold Logo on Gold
that guitar is great....i have resceued one...the 1st owner had the plan to sand it and make it like the egipt or something....the guitar is super and have a different feeling than other ibanez...more classy or how i say it?
Really LOL. I really shoud check those post dates...
Hey Andrè, no more custom RG for me. THe guy told me he had too much work on his hands and gave me my money back (after 2 years of waiting...). I guess the world is running out of serious luthiers...
Here are the pics of the JCRG being sold around here. It's a METAL not a GOLD though:
when you see one and you have the money...why not.she is great.but expensive....i have heard there are 12 or 24 of them worldwide.
you'll see it not very often.
good luck
What process did they use to paint that? Its beautiful.
