this guitar was baught by rob barret "malevolent creation/hate plow/cannibal corpse".the guitar was a lepard skin color all over new so rob had it painted primer grey.rob then sold it to tony norman "monstrosity/terrorizer/morbid angel".tony repainted the guitar black all over.i baught it from tony about 5 years ago since then the paint has been flakeing and all so i sanded it down to natural color and painted it all camoflauge.tryed to keep as much of the logo as i could on the guitar but some was unsaveable.will post some picks if anyone wants to see them.still have to finish the clear coating and buffing hopefuly tomorrow and reinstall everything.
just my honest opinion but ed roman is a hack.used to and probly still does convert cheap bc rich guitars into usa ones.even makes them or used to and sells them as originals.he use to offer a pretty good bit of $$$ for usa neckplates.probly frauded other companies like jackson also.
ibanez lo-trs trem,looks like dimazio pickups,jack is in the body,2 knobs,5 way switch,24 frets with dots,black with what looks like super small gold flake in the paint.no stripe on back of neck,all maple.
not shure the guy i got it from had it a few years but never used it no fret ware at all.has a floyd type trem.
only numbers on the head is on the back it says cef9952043 ibanes logo is chrome with the white checkmark and rg series.
i been wondering this for a while.how do you tell what model you have? i used to have a rg570 if i remember right but i only knew that because the tag on the guitar said it.ive got a older 7 string but dont know what model but know its a rg.

toss up between my usa warlock and my usa neckthrou beast they play better than anything i ever owned and do own.the warlock seems to play faster on the neck tho.
i had a few marshalls and crate blue voodoo heads but they didnt fit what i wanted as far as sound .since 95 ive been useing 2 digitech 2101 preamps a 100 watt marshall 9000 series power amp and a 500 watt peavy power amp throu 2 mesa 4x12 rectofier cabs.
only time i ever got shocked by a guitar was my old les paul playing it barefoot on a concrete floor.didnt shock you while you were playing it but when you stoped and layed your forearm across the strings it would get your attention lol.
just wondering what the tonal quality would be.would probly clean it up for lower tuneing basses but probly be to midrangey with poor bass response.was just a idea i was thinking of.the pickups would be smaller but what if you put them like split pickups lol thats would be crazy.
heres the specs from my old ibanez rg 7 string.
width at the nut 1- 13/16
width at end of fret board 2-1/2
fretboard length 19-7/16
25.5 scale length
hope this helps if you need anymore specks let me know
i had the same problem with the locking tuners i was going to put on my bc rich bich.only had maybe enough room for one wrap of the string if that.the tuners were also for 6 in line headstocks.
