I have so many guitars, but this RG550DY
is probably my "main-axe".
The only things original are the fretwire, the factory paint job, & the hardware. Even the back of the neck has been reshaped on this one. I usually scallop all the frets on the maple necks. The rosewood necks get scalloped from the 12th fret-up.
As soon as I get these 550s, they go right to the drill-press to cut the "handles" (sort-of copied from the "Rootbeer-JEM" models).

Up close, this RG540S has the look of stainless steel. The stardust look was an added idea I had while it was still in the paint-job-process (great work from my good friend Johnny Mendes!!).
Thanx' to my good buddy Dave Downey (a.k.a. Rat Cracker Bastard) for the stickers!
Same electronic & pickups I use on most guitars; DiMarzio "X2N" in the bridge & DiMarzio "FastTrack1" in the neck. Included is a very extensive tremolo system in the rear; with the old Ibanez "Back-Stop", "Block-Lock", worm-gear-claw, & the usual silicone rubber coating I use on the springs. This was also my first Ibanez!.
The original factory paint job was a teal blue-green. Called 'Carribean-Blue in the Ibanez catalog.

One of my "side-gigs" is doing these re-creations of Egyptian artwork & scriptures. Most have been sold in stores around the Boston area. The mediums & materials vary from linen to watercolor paper, & even real papyrus.
To see this original is really something. Including the mat it's mounted in, the width is about 3 feet.
