Oops I did it again  8)

Just snagged the sibling to my RGR620TPS (http://adadepot.com/index.php?topic=1754.msg18852#msg18852) from Yahoo Auctions here in Japan.
A 1995 Fujigen made Ibanez RGR620TKS. Same specs as the other one (Swamp Ash, H-H config with the Petrucci switching layout, maple JPM neck with bound rosewood fretboard, reverse(!!!!) headstock), just different color.
I already swapped the pups for a DiMarzio ToneZone bridge and PAF Pro neck and also already sanded down the back of the neck and gave it my preferred Tru-Oil/Wax finish.
Although being 22 years old, the frets still have 90% life in them and I'll just have them levelled and dressed by my luthier for starters. Will get EVO Gold mixing frets treatment at a later stage most definitely though.
Having paid 230$ for this baby, I'm a happy camper  :thumb-up: :thumb-up: :thumb-up:

I might ;-) Hell...I spent a total of ~1200€ for 4 ultra-rare, limited (the 7620MSOL is 12 pieces worldwide) or Japan Domestic Market Ibbys. Would've paid at least 3 times that much in Europe for these guitars.
I just recently had a discusiion with some colleagues I had over at my place who asked why I had/needed 10+ guitars. For me I'd categorize them as "practical art". If you ask me "How many is enough?" you'll get a firm "Always one more!"  :thumb-up:

There is an equation for that.

"Ideal number of guitars" = "Current number of guitars" + 1

(the same goes for basses, of course  >:D)
