What's the word on the OEM pickups in a 1989 RG 570? Would changing them out kill the value?

Craigslist find. http://s1272.photobucket.com/user/gauchosilvertone/library/1990RG570 Original owner. Turns out I had bought a Japanese Alvarez Yairi D-18 copy from him just over a week ago. What to say...very clean overall, all original, lovely. Far superior resonance and balance-wise...

Only 500 made. This will be a small project to get it going but its an awesome, light, resonant basswood guitar and a piece of Ibanez history. View Album, http://s1272.photobucket.com/user/gauchosilvertone/library/1996%20RG517 1996 Japanese RG 517. Same as 570 but in a green sparkle finish...

Well, you guys have infected me with the sickness to own more RG's (and a 540S definitely will be on the radar soon)!!! That's ok though, cause it led to a New Abused Guitar Day! So I found this one on the local Craigslist, guy was asking $300 and I gave $260. I was looking for a holiday...

Hi all, looking for some info on my RG 570 EG that I bought in 1991 (might have been 92) that has no serial no on the back of the headstock. Instead it has a sticker with 'RG 570' in silver on it. Anybody got any ideas why no serial number...? Cheers

I am the happy owner of a gently-used RG570 from 1999 finished in Gray Nickel. It's my first Ibanez, and I couldn't be more pleased with it. It does have two small dings in the finish, through which the raw wood shows. (See photos below.) I'm not as worried about it aesthetically as I am that...

Hi Ibanez brothers! I have a important question for me. I can get Ibanez Rg 570 FBL (Flaked Blue) from `96. The seller wrote in notice that this model has a mahogany body. Is that true? I can` t find any information about this. To my eye it has a baswood body, but I need advice from more...

Hi everyone, I am currently looking for a new guitar, preferably a not-too-expensive one, that will still deliver. Only today someone offered me an Ibanez RT 450 and a RG 570, the RT is from 1992 and the RG from 2002, both of them for cheap. They are both in good condition, all original, etc. I...

I would really like a RG550 cuz I love the maple neck on my strat but it seems like 550s are really hard to come by up here. But there is a 570 (serial# F9750729) for sale on CL for $350 so I was thinking that I could buy the 570 and put a maple neck on it...but after doing some web surfing I...

Hi all, can anyone tell me if any Rg 570's were factory fitted with a front mount mounted Top Lok Nut? I know that the older ones were rear mounted, but i don't know whether any of them post 2000 ever were? If someone out there can shed any light on this for me i would appreciate it. Thanks.

I just tried recording one of the songs that I wrote with my band so let me know what you think. It is a little ruff but this is only our second time recording and we used audacity to record. http://www.myspace.com/begyourpardonband I used an '02 Rg570 Marshall Mg100HDFX head and plugged...

hi, i was wondering? currently i own an rg570 and now i recently got a prestige 1570 and was wondering if it would be fair to claim the 570 as a "predecessor" to the 1570 and if not can someone explain the differences to me. also ive been trying to get an idea of what the 570 would have cost...

Looking to buy a RG 470 or RG 570 original equipment needs to be in good or great condition

I decided to make a brass big block to see how the tone was compared to the standard block. Instead of buying it I figured why not make one? It's for an Ibanez Edge bridge. It's a cool project so here are some pictures so far. I had to use a brass inget because that was the only brass large...

This thing is flawless, there is some oxidization on the knobs and neck plate. but other than that no scratches and 2 small nicks that are barely noticeable. It has a Dimarzio Super distortion in the bridge and a SD 59' in the neck, the mid pickup is stop and isn't wired but works fine...I...

Back up for sale, this is an 1989 Ibanez RG-570 PN. It has it's share of battle scars, but still in great shape. Neck is straight as an arrow. I just recently dumped a Green DiMarzio EVO 2 in the bridge position. It's missing the trem cavity cover, but I may have one hiding in the workshop...

Hi all. This is an awesome site! I recently had became interested in getting a FR bridge type guitar and picked up a Jackson JDR94 last week. Then I saw this ad that I had seen before for a 1989 Ibanez RG570. So I decided to see if I like it. This would be my second Ibanez ever(I used to have a...

Hey Guys, I have two Ibanez bodies for sale. First is a brand new Swamp Ash Jem body. I can't remember which builder made this as I have had it sitting around for about a year and half now. It is in perfect shape and has a silverish primer applied already so it's ready to paint now! AANJ...

Hey guys, a friend of mine has a rg 570 and i just fell in love with it when i played it but the closest one i can find is in texas (ridiculous shipping charges on that to get it to georgia), and im new to ibanez's so i was asking your opinions on what would be a good alternative as far as sound...
