Members StompBoxLover Posted January 17, 2010 Members Share Posted January 17, 2010 hey. for some time now I do WANT a strat type guitar with floyd. Jay supplies all the ingredients and I enjoy building (ok, assembling) guitars. I like the idea of having a blue RG-like guitar with black hardware and (drum roll) white pickups. I know it looks somewhat 80's-ish and - at least for me - conjures up some unpleasent memories of Paul Gilberts ('coughtoolcough') signature models - but it looks sweet at the same time. What say you? is it too close the blue/pink PG-abomination or is it a true rock machine? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danhan1113 Posted January 17, 2010 Members Share Posted January 17, 2010 Meh, just looks like a simple RG1570. Look for a used one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StompBoxLover Posted January 17, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 17, 2010 Meh, just looks like a simple RG1570. Look for a used one. crappy trem, crappy pickups, nah - I prefer Jays merchandise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MKSkud Posted January 17, 2010 Members Share Posted January 17, 2010 crappy trem, crappy pickups, nah - I prefer Jays merchandise. Are you kidding? GFS trems are no match for a MIJ Prestige Ibanez Edge trem... You can't order anything from GFS, (no offense, I do like GFS budget style stuff) at their price points that will compare to MIJ Ibanez... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jelloman Posted January 17, 2010 Members Share Posted January 17, 2010 Looks like any other pointy superstrat... ...now if you were to add fake F-holes...:poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members V-Type Posted January 17, 2010 Members Share Posted January 17, 2010 Agreed Ibanez Prestige hardware isnt cheap by any means.But stay away from IBZ branded pickups imo they are just slightly better than their bottom feeder Powersounds.

MIJ Prestige has a completly different price tag - besides, the only Ibanez I'd buy says Talman' on the headstock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StompBoxLover Posted January 17, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 17, 2010 cool. this my mock up: nice. I see it with a aged PAF, tho. also, the vol pot placement seems impractical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
