MINT 1998 (first year of production!) Ibanez RG7620 sevent string with case, royal blue color with black hardware-Lo Pro edge 7 trem, DiMarzio Blaze pickups. Completely stock with no fret wear, awesome condition. Pics available upon request. Asking $500 shipped to the US or Canada.

Yes, I strung it up and set it up. It plays great and the has awesome sustain!! I am using a Duncan Custom Custom in the bridge and a Duncan '59 in the neck. Overall, I am really pleased with how my first project turned out!!

I think it means instead of having a carved top, you take a bookmatched top set and bend it so it will lay down over a forearm carve on Strats and others with a forearm carve. I saw a really good tutorial of one somewhere here on the forum!

Thanks for the comments, guys!!! It's not a drop top-just a 1/4" inch flame maple on a 1 1/2" walnut back. The frets are not gold, they are Dunlop 6100's!! The comment about the RG and a Paul is dead on!! That was what I was going for!

Cudbucket, I did use the transfast turquoise! I was going to do the cardinal red, but the turquoise just seemed like a better fit!! Man, your guitar looks sweet!!

Thanks for the kind comments! The only thing I did was mark out a 3 dergree angle on the heel of the neck and carefully sanded down to it. The neck pocket is sanded flat and straight. I knew I had to use a neck angle because I was using the Pigtail wraparound bridge.

The neck has a 3 degree angle. I cut out the 2 piece walnut body and then glued the maple top to it.

The neck continues under the neck pickup ala PRS. The AANJ is a bit square but it joins the body at the 22nd fret, so it is extremely comfy to play!!

Yes, it is my very first one-it took a while and I am going to take a break then I am going to start on the next one! The color is Turquoise! I learned alot on this one, so the next one should be better!!

Yeah, I didn't stain the walnut-just went with straight lacquer.

I am new to posting pics, I have a few more on photobucket but I can not seem to paste the other ones. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c140/kjguitars/back.jpg http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c140/kjg...rs/f1cd45f8.jpg here are the picture posting rules.

Well guys and girls, I am finished with my first guitar! Still have to put the strings on it, but that's no big deal. This is a Walnut body with a maple top, 2 piece maple neck with a walnut stripe and a rosewood fretboard. Here are some pics: http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c140/kjg...rs/146b3e4b.jpg http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c140/kjg...rs/f1cd45f8.jpg here are the picture posting rules.
