The one on the right almost looks like a reflection...When you go there, you may be able to use the damage to beat them down on price a bit...

I don't know, it looks like wood to me. But i will have to see when i go. Which will be after my holiday, providing it is still there by then lol!

Notice the same "wood" mark on the scratchplate! I think it might be lighting. E.Mail them with you questions ,they will tell you all.

^ That's exactly what made me think it was a reflection...

Thats why we're in the same club! Great minds and all that.

And Crazy Joe...without being rude , you are starting to guitar shop rather like a girl!? :D

:lol: He'd never survive in our club - We're far too manly :drink: <-- and alcoholic by the looks of that

Anyway, yeah I think you're being a bit girly...So it has a few dings, they just add character :P

lol quiet you, i just like my guitars to be pristine and i don't like little dings because they look so out of place and it just makes the guitar look old and battered.

I was in a guitar shop with my GF today and we saw some relic Strats, she thought they were ok but when she saw the Jeff Beck Esquire she just couldn't understand it.
"It's dirty!" :shock:

I just want to get this guitar now! I don't want to have to wait 2 weeks until i go look at it, it will probably have gone by then!

It's just asking for some In Flames to be played on it!

Edit: And various other metally songs!

By the way i have my suspicions that it is a 2000 model, but that is not for sure.

Also i have just noticed another thing, where is the tremelo arm??

get the 570/1570. remove the middle pickup if it annoys you that much, but it's no contest. In my opinion.

Much better solution... on the pickup selector switch, swap the hot wires for the neck pickup with the middle pickup. This way your bridge will remain your bridge, the next position which is normally bridge and middle will be bridge and neck, the middle will be the neck, the 2nd from the left will be the neck and middle and the left will be the middle... you only lose the bridge and middle together which is my least favorite pickup combination....

I would definitely pick a 550/570/770/1550/1570/2550/2470 over a RG42* in a heartbeat.

I'm setting up a RG 2570 for my mother's boyfriend right now.. the action is incredibly low and it has the great thin Ibanez RG neck.... I'd so like to keep that guitar!

....but be sure to go with some good BKPs in it whatever you do... or at least some Dimarzios or something else....the stock pickups are pretty bad.... I'm trying the Joe Satriani set in this one...

Right so i'm back from my 2 week holiday in Portugal, first i find out my brother $%&#ed up my computer so i had to sort that out today, finally i get it working, go to coda's website, and there is no guitar, great. :x

It obviously wasn't to be. It's fate's way of making you save your money for something even better! :D

But that was a good guitar! And at the moment no other guitars really appeal to me, apart from the Jackson RR3, but that will be cheaply made unlike the Ibanez.
