My first guitar... H.R. Giger Ibanez RG
« on: October 07, 2005, 08:06:21 PM »
Ive been playing Bass for about 4 years now and I recently decided to take up playing guitar as well. When I saw this I HAD to get it... So the nice people at Sounds Great music sorted me out with one!
Ive been a massive fan of H.R. Giger's art work for years and I must say when I see the words "graphic print" to describe a guitars finish Im usually appalled by the result, But this was different.
I couldn't think of better pickups than the Warpig humbucker set to compliment the guitar... They sound shockingly good.
I know recently there has been a debate over Ibanez's quality, but I can say this guitar is faultless, it plays exceptionally well, and for the money you can’t knock it.

extremely beautiful axe man
congratulations
do you have any problems of detuning using this new BRIDGE by ibanez?
i heard you have to do some trickys to solve a problem etc. don´t know
ibanezrules.com or a similar site talked about it.
and.. before installed the warpigs.. did you feel any loss of sustain with the original pickups?!

The original pickups were horrible; they had little power and sounded very dull. I haven't had a chance to de tune it yet as I only got it yesterday; it’s tuned to E flat at the moment. I will post some clips up soon.

Nice looking guitar Steve! Especially now it's got some 'pigs in there.  :D

Always loved Giger's work since I saw Alien many a moon ago, and then seeing more of his work on album covers, like Celtic Frost's "To Mega Therio" and Carcass's "Heartwork".

Sick lookin' axe. The pigs look great in it.

I noticed you have the pole screws screwed way in. How does that affect the sound? (Mine are sticking out.)
