Members Knight Templar Posted September 12, 2017 Members Share Posted September 12, 2017 Hi folks, I acquired this awesome superstrat few days ago. It is a 1996 Yamaha RGX621DM. . Sweet cleans and tasty drive sounds! The alder body and maple neck provide fender-esque tones, while the guitar itself feels like an Ibanez RG. This is RG550 killer cause of the clean tones! Oh the scalloped frets doesn't hurt either!Enjoy the pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gardo Posted September 12, 2017 Members Share Posted September 12, 2017 It's not my style but it certainly does seem to be a worthy weapon in the guitar wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted September 12, 2017 Members Share Posted September 12, 2017 Congratulations and Happy New Guitar Day. That fretboard, both the scalloping and the 12th fret inlay, certainly looks cool and different from anything else I've seen. Almost cool enough to overcome my dislike of maple boards.

Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted September 13, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 13, 2017 Theyre very decent guitars, but only kill a proportion of RGs Now if it was an 821D....that'd be a different bucket of frogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Knight Templar Posted September 13, 2017 Author Members Share Posted September 13, 2017 Theyre very decent guitars, but only kill a proportion of RGs Now if it was an 821D....that'd be a different bucket of frogs Yeah I was exagerating of course. My 621DM will slay the RG550 and other lower end and middle of the road Japanese RGs, but not enough for the high end Prestiges and J-Customs. I had a pleasure of seeing an 821DMR in a Yamaha shop around 2008. That was really eye-catching and the quality was on par with the standard Japanese Ibanez JEM. Unfortnately the tremolo system broke down and since the parts were not available anymore the store took it off the shelf and God knows what did they do with it......
