look what i just scored!!!

[markD]

an original road flare red RG550!!!!! i am excited!!!!



hmmmm, i am thinking of yellow pickups and green knobs. any other ideas? i will be putting dimarzio PAF Pro pickups in the neck/bridge and an HS-3 in the middle...

[UFORocks]

Nice Score, 550's are great guitars, though I don't love RGs so much myself What pups are in it now?

[markD]

the factory pickups.

[shobet]

Very nice, will you be getting sunglasses for when you've changed everything to the colour you want so you can actually look at it?

[markD]

hahahahahahaha, yeah, probably. but it is the AUDIENCE that will need shades. i am into to gaudy, flashy looking guitars. my number 1 stage guitar for the last couple of years has been my holoflake SL-1.



the crowds LOVE that guitar, but it is time for something a little different. back in the day (i am old now ) i used to play a white RG550 with pink pickups and yellow knobs. i traded it for my blk ghost flame sl2h. i have missed it for years, so a new neon colored ibanez will fun!!!! the band is gonna HATE it!!!

tonight the new iceman will be getting it's debut onstage. i am pretty pumped about playing something different.

i also have this DSY 540s i could play onstage. i have had it since 1987 and i have NEVER played it out. weird. i may have to soon....

Looks like Hot pink to me.....Nice Score!

[Bengal]

That Holoflake SL is the shit man. I really dig that one.

Nice score man. Those are getting somewhat rare in that condition.

[Firebird V]

nice score and guitars!

[mrrs]

Nice, brings back great 80's memories.

Those things were everywhere back in the day.

[SEEGERMANY]

I would NEVER consider playing anything gaudy!

P.S. Nice Ibanez!

[markD]

hahahaha, yeah, that IS a bit much....

[OnlineStageGear]

I miss my RG550. I had the Yellow. It got ripped off from a gig here and I miss her... Fuck I hate thiefs....

That's a great score, but I think you could do better than to add PAF Pro's. They are ok but I find I have to re-eq my rig when I play my Jem as they simply lack the balls of some other pickups IMO. I would go with Evolutions or maybe a Tone Zone in the bridge. That said, if you've used them and like them, go for it.

[sonicsamurai]

wicked! What year? I don.t think yellow pickups would work. If its as hot pink as it looks maybe green pickups. Personally it looks the shiz already

+1, I had one of the old 7RBs, found the PAF Pros to be a bit weak. Looking forward to my newly refinished 7VWH though
