It's an Ibanez this time!
No, it's not a J-Custom. Or a Prestige. But I can say it's an RG. And I bought my Indie during the Winter time, so why not one that's only out for the Spring time!
It's the RG08LTD, basswood body, rosewood fretboard, maple neck, 'Cherry Blossom' pickguard, red body binding, Edge III and V7/V8 humbuckers.
With that said ...

I like the scratchplate, never seen one like that before! :D
Is the finish like Fender Montego Black, i.e. black with little gold flecks in it? I have a Tele that colour.
-
i really like that, the red binding and unusual scratchplate really do it for me!!

Yeah, it's "Japan Black", but in real terms it's black with gold speckles in it. It looks great in the light.

Ill say what i said the other day. That is one beautiful guitar.
So how does she play?

It got me too, hehe. :D

nice! :)
-
nice! :)
Coming from you Dave, I am well pleased :D
-
Holy hell that's hot. Get some gold buckers like that and complete the glamboyant look.
-
that looks sweet! but it would look sooo much better with a maple board.
but i like it!
-
As others have said, great scratchplate and finish.That binding too sets it off well.

Yeah, I love maple boards.
-
Absolutely digging that binding/coachline thing going on there...
-
Looks nice. It has much gold on it, which is not usually my thing, but it really does suit that guitar. Binding and scratchplate are cool too. How does it sound?

With the stocks, it sounds sufficient. I've emailed Tim a question about pickup covers.
Either way I'm thinking of putting BKPs in it. Probably MMs.

MMs? Sounds like a good choice for a guitar like that. Tim won't let you down on the advice, that's for sure.

He recommended MMS before, and I've just sent him a message asking if he could engrave the scratchplate design to continue along the pickups, and other touches too.

that is one of the nicest ibanezes i have seen yet, aside from the Via seven stringer, and of course, my own, that one is awsome!
-
Thanks :)
-
How does it play/feel? theres one in the local shop and i was sooooo tempted by it but because i dont have the money i didnt even pick it up lol. but my b-days next wekk so maybe after that :roll:
How does it feel, especially the floyd rose? And hows the neck?
If you dont mind me asking, im not gonna steal the thread but im wondering seriously :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: .

Nice catch, I hope it brings you hours of fun!

The Floyd Rose feels, hmm.. best way I can describe it is sensitive. I haven't gone out of tune after bashing the thing with divebombs, etc.
The neck is your standard Ibanez, so thin as anything. However it's satin finished, not gloss (i.e. shiny) so it feels dry on the hand, but it still suits me.
-
I really like the look of that. It screams early 90s! :)
-
Just popped down to the local shop and tried one out.....i think i might next week depending on the income. Its just seemed really nice.
