For those who didn't see my earlier posts on this.. It used to be a Ibanez rg 321 mh that I bought used awhile back, it was full of dings and such and a plain black paintjob. So I gave it a new paintjob(which took alittle over a month) and bought some seymour duncan mayhem pickups for it. when I had it put together in the shop I had the action lowered. Now I just wish I had a better amp to use with it..

Looks great man! Nice job!

Action looks low to. Probably plays like butter.

Sound clips please.

I like the white pinstripe

Is it just me or is your neck humbucker frame clear ?

Congrats! May I ask why you didn't get a singlecoil in the middle though?

Sweet guitar! I'd like to make a LP shaped guitar with a ibanez/fender type bridge sometime.... I think that would combine ibanez playability with LP looks pretty sweet.

IMO no point in getting a massive wood guitar, when you lose alot of sustain to your floating tremolo.

Sweet guitar, Ibanez are great

Posted by: Capt.Z Oct 24 2008, 02:59 PM

Real nice. It looks pretty high-grade

Posted by: Xuestor Oct 24 2008, 04:00 PM

Ohh, I didn't mean to get a tremolo, I meant with the fixed bridge type.

Posted by: kjutte Oct 24 2008, 04:52 PM

I still think it'll lose alot of sustain without a hardtail, and then the large body is somewhat useless.

Yes, I really like the look of it, cool guitar there. Maybe some jamming to present us how it screams?

Looks great

As an Ibanez lover i can only say very nicely done

Posted by: Skalde Oct 24 2008, 08:07 PM

awesome guitar

Posted by: Jmguitar64 Oct 24 2008, 10:16 PM

Haha! no, it must be the picture..



well honestly im not a big fan of the singlecoil in the middle it seems to get in the way for some reason.. and I probly would have messed something up while cutting into it, I didnt want to do anything to complicated seeing that this is my only electric guitar.



mabye if I can find a video camera somwhere.. good idea though ill see if I can do that

Wow. Pretty lady ^^
I vote for a soundtest as well =)

Posted by: kjutte Oct 25 2008, 04:10 PM

Ohh, you made it yourself? Good job!
Did you get a pull knob for volume though, so you can turn 'em into S.coils?

It's an easy solder, I would recommend it for versatility.
Though, again, guitar looks great man!

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Oct 25 2008, 04:14 PM

That's the exact reason I don't like the single coil in the middle. It gets in the way so much. Only way I'll have a single coil is if there is a single coil in the neck also so I have room for my technique.

You did a great job.

Posted by: kjutte Oct 25 2008, 06:47 PM

It's just a matter of practise. you'll learn to get around it very quick.
But honestly, this is but a tiny hinderance from great versatility.

Guitar looks great and I'm happy it sound good too! Great job on customizing!
