NGD - Ibanez RG570

[warlok]

Picked up some stuff for a STEAL!!! 2000 MIJ RG570 with Roadrunner HSC. Has everything except had to order neck screws and bushings and need one trem post (has a cracked allen head). If anyone has a line on a trem stud, let me know. They're like $35+shipping on ebay ($27 just for one from Ibanez.. ouch). Has the top 5 frets scalloped (for some reason..). Anyway, I'll build it up when the neck screws/bushings get here. This Wizard neck is THIN...




Also in the deal was a Gluff Strat body (sold on ebay I guess). Seems to be good quality Has a 5/16" flamed maple cap and the body is dark like walnut or something but looks like mahogany grain..?? Routed for H-S and a floyd so may build a mutt with it.



Also was a homemade Tele body and a box of parts. Mostly crap but also had a Gibson Master Tune Vibrola bridge. Made by Schaller. Probably sell it..



Ready for the best part?? $50 for all of it..

Can't argue with that deal! Have fun.

Fifty bucks! Those look to be fun projects. Stuff like this is starting to interest me. Where did you find this lot? Garage sale? Estate sale? Classifieds?

[warlok]

It was in a yard sale on the Casa Grande buy/sell/trade Facebook page and my wife happened to see guitar bodies in the corner of one picture. If you have a page for your area, keep an eye on it. I've found a few great deals on there.

Thanks for the tip!

I just noticed the Jackson tuners on the Ibanez headstock.

That Ibby looks like it survived a war

It's all in the paint but not much in the wood. I'll just build it and play it before I decide to repaint it or not..

That is the way Vai does it.

That site reminds me of websites made in the 1990s or early 2000s.

I got them new off ebay for $41 shipped.. (yep, for 2 bolts.. ridiculous...). I put the EMGs (81/89 with split for 89) from my RRTMG in and they sound pretty good. Been playing a bit and I like it so far. 3 way switch is in my mailbox to get rid of the 5 way. Not bad for $117 total into it.

Christ, the $41 studs cost nearly as much as the original $50 bunch of stuff. Actually if you were to divide the $50 proportionally between all the components of that lot, the Ibanez would be less than the $41 studs.
