That guitar is outrageous.

What is the knob that's closest to the bridge pup?

So I finally played it. The first thing I notice, each string has a kink in it, which leads me to believe that it was set up by a monkey. So that isn't helping much with keeping it tune when using the Edge trem. Should be getting some new strings today and give everything a good clean.

It does play quite nicely though and I like how smooth the Edge trem moves. Sounds aren't too bad, looks like a dimarzio PAF Pro in the bridge. I think I will change the pickups at some point to Bareknuckles, but not till after christmas.

Looks pretty stunning and the neck is in fairly good condition. The guys on jemsite think that the neck is a 700 series neck and not the original. Not too sure on that yet. I'll remove the neck and check the heels for stamps etc when I change the strings.

Here you go, some new pictures





I'll upload some more soon.

I put new strings on it and stretched them out good and it still isn't very stable tuning wise. I've got a pair of brand new Locking trem posts on the way as well as another Edge trem in pretty good condition. So hopefully this will all be sorted next week. The bridge pickup deffinatly is a Dimarzio but still not sure what model.

The neck is a replacement as there's a RG750 stamp on the neck heel. It sounds great and plays great, it's just the tuning stability that's putting it down.

In which case it is the same guitar that I saw a few years ago- maybe 3-4 years ago. The kink in the strings wasn't me!

Who put strings on it last needs to have his head examined.
