RG1077XL Congrats on the new axe. I knew this baby would catch on sooner or later. I just hope it's a mainstay, and that more models based on this one gets released in the future... like a double edged series??? heh... |

RG1077XL Damn, no one near me has the XLs in stock to try. I was at Scam Ash yesterday, and they had a K7 with a chip down into the wood though. No markdown either. They also already had the cheap 2002 models (RGT47, new SA160 color) too. |

RG1077XL Cool Guitar man! I've tried one, and it is indeed sweet! Shame about the case though, that is a bit crap. You'd expect that for serious amounts of money you'd at least get a case with it. I mean, who carries around an expensive guitar in a gig bag??!!?? Congratulations on the axe btw! |

RG1077XL Rich-the guitar was store inventory, and it was the only one I could source in the UK when the GAS struck! I had to strike quickly otherwise I would have been waiting til May for the next shipment to the UK (or so I was warned-not by the store I bought the guitar from I must add). They had no cases that would fit the guitar, Ibanez or other makes. It actually came in a Fender box, with some bubble wrap, and a cheap bass gig bag, which the store, to their credit, gave me for nothing. I'm still waiting for my tools, too! Guy |

RG1077XL Was it in store inventory or did it come straight from a distributor? Cases are always priced seperately (depending on the dealer, everything I quote includes case because that's just the way I do it. Most dealers give you that "cheap" quote but it doesn't include case, setup, shipping, so my figure looks a little high but all inclusive. I just see it as deceptive to give that "cheap" quote, then start adding on all the extras) |

RG1077XL - Nice I got my lovely Royal Blue RG1077XL on Monday-my first 7 string. It is a nice piece of work. Surprisingly easy to play-a little adjustment in technique needed to deal with the extra string and the longer neck, but a fairly smooth transition. It feels like a nice, quality instrument, pretty well set up. But-it doesn't come with a case, and the shop didn't send my tools. Plus, there were three very tiny surface scratches on the rear edge of the guitar. Tiny, but noticeable in the right light. Now, I am a player, and I'm not afraid to gig with my nice guitars,l but I have had my 77FP for a year now, and there are still no scratches, so getting an imperfect brand new axe was a little disappointing, but I wont lose sleep... Are these guitars supposed to come with a case??? Was I 'unlucky'. I would still like a 2027 (Jerry/Rich) btu there weren't any available in the uk for love or money. After playing the 1077, the 77FP seemed tiny, but strangely after a few seconds my fingers were flyng faster than ever!!! Try one, you'll buy one. Guy |
