shinjiakari22 Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 (edited) Well I set out to customize this old RX.....and what I ended up with, I dont like one bit. I want to sell it, so if anyone wants it let me know. (not sure on the price) Heres the pics http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p...51883&members=1 Its not quite finished, I still need to clean the fret board and add a logo to the headstock.

`mpel Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Nice RX you have there .. but I think you should use the mirror pickguards or pearl white for the eye catcher .. Nice Job! Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Sorbera Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 magnum looks WAY better than blue steel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinjiakari22 Posted April 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 do you guys think $400 would be a fair price for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sorbera Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I dought you'll get that much for it. Strip it and do it again, and again, and again. Until it's perfect. Than you'll get more for it. Or who knows mabye than you'll want to keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinjiakari22 Posted April 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 (edited) My last name done in the ibanez logo style. The clear crap around the letters should dissapear when I clear coat it, I cant do it today though because the humidity is around 100% and it will make the clear coat dull and crappy. Im actually thinking about keeping it and putting metal knobs on it along with black EMG pickups (vintage coil). Yeah i pretty much dont want it to sound like the traditional Ibanez. Im more of a vintage (62' fender jaguar) kinda guy. If anyone has a fender jag body they wanna get rid of...please let me know =) Oh and another thing, what would you guys recomend I do to clean up that fret board that has years of finger crap built up on it.

Duff Beer Man Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 What i did to clean my finger boards when stuff would build up was just take a rag and some guitar cleaner (mine was ernie ball cleaner) and just stuck the tip of my fingernail in the rag and scrubed it away. Of course mine didnt look that bad so maybe my idea is out of the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neocon58 Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 (edited) whoa! looked ok to me! You've done us RX owners proud . Youv'e given me some ideas on what to do to my own RX 170D (once I get my RG!). Hey, what is the exact model of that one, I noticed it has a pickguard (unlike my own RX170D)??? My RX is in better condition that that one, but from all the "before" pics it looks like you've done well. Just clean that fretboard! Eww! heres my green piece of poo: Edited April 9, 2005 by neocon58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
