I've haven't seen a Ibby with neck through in a really long time. Tho pickups are pretty bland tho, so that I would say is something like what 06-09 area of built. Bet it will play great when setup, with that 17-20(21)mm neck! So Jelly over here man! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

QUOTE (bleez @ Jun 20 2014, 12:47 PM) Is the RG370 a half decent model? They are if you can find a Korean made one rather than the Indonesian ones. I have a Korean RG350, the difference between the 350 and 370 is anything ending in -50 has a scratchplate and a -70 has body mounted Pickups and controls. try to find a 2nd hand one if you can, the Korean models were the earlier run.

Much more than that and I can't really play them all enough. However, I've bought THREE guitars in the past 30 days so I'm waaaaaaaaay over my limit. I plan on spiffing some of them up and selling them though. Probably this one once she is looking nice and cleaned up again Needs some love. Todd QUOTE (Ben Higgins @ Jun 20 2014, 04:19 AM) Oh, the retail demon has struck again !! How many guitars are now in your possession T-Man ? I've never met an RG that I didn't like Well, maybe a Gio or two. But yeah, the RG370 is one I hope to add at some point Like many an ibby, could benefit from custom pickups of course . A fine point was mentioned about the Korean versions. It sorta goes MIJ>KOREAN>INDONESIAN Having said that, I like some of the indonesian models just fine But you can usually get a better deal if you find a used KOREAN and it has probably already had the floating trem setup which can save money and might already have upgrades pickups as well ) I checked the price on that model you posted and I plan on selling this neck through model for less than they are asking for the bolt on once I clean up the frets and set it up. You can find similar deals in some shops and ebay but you gotta be careful QUOTE (bleez @ Jun 20 2014, 07:47 AM) damn it T-Dawg, I really want an ibanez now Is the RG370 a half decent model?

Working on some tracks featuring the low F# ) Lots of folks tune the low string to a standard E one octave below the standard low e 6th string. I can see why, it makes lots of things easier. However, at that point, why have an 8 string? Why not just use an octave pedal? Seems almost like a cop out. Not cheating though I'm working also on using the low 2 strings in solo work which still feels odd!! Much more so than the 7 string.

I believe Rusty uses his 8 in a different way and keeps B as the lowest note and has an extra high string.. another A !! But from what he's said you can't really bend it. I'm not sure if he still does that or not. Would be interesting to know if anybody else does it as well. It would always be killer to get even higher notes.

I got mine 2nd hand and later swapped out the P/ups for a JB Jnr/Jazz (Bridge/Neck) and a Dimarzio Evolution single/coil in the middle. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Super Rare. They were only made in a limited run for guitar center and few exist in playable condition. They had the super thin 17mm necks that were prone to "Catastrophic Warpage" under heavy gauge strings. But with a pair of 9s LOOKOUT!!!! He also has a rare RG565 with reverse headstock. He's got just a killer ibby collection. Here it is!!!

I hope he sells more so I can bid on a few I"m guessing he is thinning out his collection to buy more/different guitars. He ibby collection is killer but perhaps a bit one sided. He might want to add some sort of snooty custom from Romania or something just for balance As to WHY he's selling them off. HE"S NOW AN ESP ENDORSED ARTIST!!!!!!
