just bought an RG570 body off not-so-evilbay.
i originally bought it with the idea of refinishing it, but it is in such mint condition that it'd seem a shame to chance it! well, i guess we'll see about that... got some ideas in mind... am thinking of doing a 6 string version of a UV777BK (i just love that binding
)
anyhow, just wanting some more information from the gurus: it has "RG157005" stamped in the neck pocket. does this make it a regular 570 or a prestige 1570? if it's any help, it appears that it had direct mount pick-ups as opposed to pick-up rings. the colour is a metallic dark silver, but not the textured vital silver.
will be looking for a neck for this thing shortly. will any aanj neck fit?
also, while i'm on an asking questions roll, are there any custom shops that are actually still taking orders for things like binding, etc? i know that EKG, LGM et al do amazing work, but they are just too busy. are there any others out there?
