Thread revival - with an update.

So nearly all of you told me not to do it, but I couldnt resist, so it is NGD for me
Basically new condition RG550 20th anniversary in Desert Yellow
Sorry, im rubbish at nice looking photos, but anyway....





Still need to get it set up properly, and will probably change the bridge pcikup out soon, thinking maybe a Miracle Man? Any opinions on these in RGs?


But all you guys that told me not to trade, dont worry


Still got it

And while ive got the camera out may as well take a superstrat family shot

I think you did the right thing. I am another florescent 80's guitar nut, as well as a lover of the maple RG's. Promise me you will never weaken and get it re-finished  :)

The 550 is one of the most sought after of the whole Ibanez brand and that one looks fantastic. It also looks like the re-issue with the original edge. The only cooler Ibanezs are the original 777's and the BFP.

I would change the pickups immediately though.

Also I have a very similar chest of drawers as the one in your picture. Excelsior to you, sir!

Even an Ibanez lover myself, I wouldn't've traded the SG. I would've just gone for the extra costs.

I am proud of you!

Glad to see you kept the SG.  :D

I hope to find one of those on eBay, one day!

That's a "...and they all lived happily ever after" ending if ever I heard one.  Joy abounds.  I like both the RG and the SG.

I dont like SGs and do like RGs

I would sell the SG and buy an old school RG550/60/70 for ~£300 and keep the change.

ha yeah, too late, did you not get through the thread
but yeah already have a 91 RG, been my main guitar for the last year or so, so thought id splash out and buy a more yellow newer version of exactly the same thing.
the old one actually has a fair bit more weight to it, but the neck on the 20th anniversary model is amazing. need to sort out some new pickups and then will be ready to rock it out properly

think i still probably should get rid of a guitar or 2, cant really justify 7, but i find  it so hard to bring myslef to sell guitars

To answer your question, yes, put a miracle man in it. Perfect. :)
