yeah way to much bass. I heard it sounds decent if you play it through a huge rig but who knows.

That dimebucker was way too hot and shrill for my taste... I think it's the worst pickup duncan has out right now.

keep the rg it's an awesome guitar
i have an rg, it's a 3rd hand guitar
it's looking rough but it sounds great. i still have the original pickups in it. minus that middle pickup, i ripped it out.

best combo for pickups in an RG in my opinion is dimarzio air norton in the neck and steves special bridge. this has been my current set up for the past several years. can't go wrong

yeah that pickup in the middle is pretty useless. Id like to keep it but i kinda need the cash.
Also it cant withstand a good floyd beating, always goes out of tune.

Too bad you're too fucking retarded to know that those are different inlays than on that RG.

Yeah it looks nice either way, even if you switch the sides. I've never been a fan of dot inlays, might as well be creative with it if you can!

i dont know man.. ebay? ebay's usually good for odd parts and shit.
the only thing thats rusty on mine is all the screws, their pretty bad.
Also for some weird reason my RG stinks everytime i play it.. i even put new strings on and cleaned the fretboard... still stinks.

Hunter...One of the Ibanez factorys is about 7 miles from my house, I have a few friends that work there, I'll see if I can get you info. Which RG is it? year? trem or fixed? Let me know and I'll see what I can find out.

i feel like posting pics
Oscar Schmidt bass (Washburn)
That Marshall isn't mine, its my buddies who is over in Iraq. It sounds so shitty, its a mg30dfx.
My two little berhinger pa speakers on my little peavey bass amp sound 100 times better through my vamp-2 then the marshall, really souds good at low volume then you can start to hear air suckage at higher volume. Overall great for loner basement jamming
love my schecter

Yeh I really like sharkfin inlays. But I'd love to have some kind of obscure inlay similar too the tree of life style but more fucked up and strange.
Or zero inlays/dots at all (other than on the side of the fretboard) would look pretty fucking cool.
