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.

Holy hell that's hot. Get some gold buckers like that and complete the glamboyant look.

but i like it!

As others have said, great scratchplate and finish.That binding too sets it off well.

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.
