New Guitar Day!!!!!

[outsider666]

So after 3 agonizing months of shipping hassle my RR24 finally arrived today, and I absolutely LOOOOVE IT!! I don't know if it's just the fact that it's my first neck-thru or the EMG 81 but it took me about 3 hours to put it down once I started.....getting too into describing this one seems a bit redundant at this point as so many threads have already done so, so on with the pics........



New guitar + new camera = GROUP SHOTS!!!!

IMPORTS:


PROJECTS:


BIG SMILES EVERYONE!!!


and the rest...........


..........well, that's that.....enjoy the pics......

+2. I wanna do the same mod on my KE3. I just don't have the heart to hack up a DXMG to get the neck. Congrats on the RR24

dunno, that one's not mine......that was the pic I gave the guy as a reference when he painted my RR3 project (the one in the links).......

That green flame one is awesome! I would have had the guy paint a pickguard to match, but that's just me :-)

It might just be the flash, but it looks like the tuners have gold "tops" and chrome turning thingys. Wierd.

Thanxx man!! Those are actually gold tuners with pearl handles (which are damn near impossible to photograph for the camera inept such as me), which is why I went with the pearl p/g (and trem cavity cover)............
I actually wanted all gold hardware when I put that one together but couldn't find a gold front cavity cover at the time (and of course now I see them everywhere) so I went with gold hardware w/pearl instead.....
Should the unlikely circumstance occur that I should find myself rich and famous my first custom order will be a duplicate of this one, only neckthru, w/all gold (yes, i'm a retard, I'd still front rout it), 24 frets, and a couple other cool brainwaves I couldn't make happen on the original.............

Mmm I love the RR24. I would so get one but I already have an RR, lol.

Somebody like Randy Rhodes, sweet collection btw. Are they Duncan Invaders on the Green RR?
