Some better pics (hard to capture the Saphire Blue Quilted Maple Top) of my mainstay/all time fav...(upper left in the collection pic I posted).
It´s a 2002 Ibanez (pre Prestige) RG620 QMSP, Mahogany Body with Qilted Maple Top. I bought it new in 2002 and modded it slightly along the way.
The "original" came with Ibanez V8 bridge and V7 neck pups which I swapped for a set of DiMarzio CrunchLab Bridge and LiquiFire neck.
It features the Ibanez original EDGE double locking trem that I modded with a brass big block. The standard .022µF tone cap was swapped for a Russian K40Y-9 Paper-In-Oil cap.
One of the things that stands out about this particular RG is the neck which is not the *Ibby-Std* Wizard type...this in is called "Ultra" and has the same specs as the neck on the 90s Ibanez John Petrucci Signature model (JPM)...17" radius but ever so slightly feeling "beefier" than the Wizard...it´s not thicker though, just shaped different.
I also sanded it down and applied my preferred Oil/Wax finish....
I cannot say enough good things about this guitar....it simply sounds awesome, amplified or dry.....
Switching and layout is pretty straight-forward....
1 Vol, 1 Tone, 1 4PDT 3-way toggle that puts only the inner coils of both pups in parallel when in center position....dreamy/glassy cleans...
