And it's the one I most wanted - the Road Flare Red one :D

First impressions? The 20th is better than the originals. The pickups are hotter and scream more, it feels fantastic to play and it hasn't faded at all. Plus I've got #1798 - so close to 1987! All the right numbers, not necessarily in the right order!

I can't find any flaws in it so far, but I'm just about to play it and check it out for the evening. The guys in the shop were salivating and loved it! The setup out of the box wasn't too bad. The tech at the shop lowered the bridge a bit to bring the action down a touch but the nut was fine. My Desert Yellow will be another two weeks unfortunately, there must be a hold up on them. Maybe I'll get #1987 if it gets delayed even further...

RGs aren't my thing, but did I just feel the tiniest little burp of GAS...?

Waiting to see the new family portrait when the DY one turns up.

Nice one Twinfan!
I saw a RFR yesterday, it was sooooo bright 8)

Can you believe they are made in Japan but are only now being advertised here, and shops have only been able to order them in the last month or so?
I have been visiting every major guitar shop in Tokyo since January and have been met with blank expressions when I mentioned a 20th anniversary model.
Anyway I ordered a DY about 5 weeks ago and it arrived at the shop yesterday, I tried it in the shop and it's fab, the colour is truly 80s (I'm having it delivered tomorrow). My serial is 1972 (two years off my birthdate) so only 15 left by my reckoning.

So production must have finished then.

Bob over to RG20th.com and get it registered matey :D

umm... errr...

what does "DY" stand for? :stupid:

Looks cool twin fan. I honestly wouldnt have picked you for an RG guy. I had a look at the YCDC site the other day and I thought you'd be a Gibbo style all the way.

Shows how much I pay attention :lol:

oh +1 on the plastic mate
