NGD: Something Yellow This Way Comes

[budda]

It's finally here!

Ibanez RG550mxxdy! 20th Anniversary RG550 in Desert Yellow

You guys know the specs better then I do:

- Basswood Body
- Titanium reinforced Wizard I (II?) neck
- maple fretboard
- 24 frets
- Original Edge trem
- DR Neon strings!

First impressions: I took it out of the case, and it was 98% in tune! It's fairly resonant, and the set-up is pretty good as well. It came with straplocks but the strap was lost prior to sale. It's pretty resonant unplugged, seems to be a good cut of wood. The neck is easily the thinnest I've ever owned, but hiked up to Shred territory it's comfortable. I will be turning to Troy to learn some sweet bar tricks, and Darren's got the hook-up for the Tremol-no.

I have my J S Moore A8 pickup out of my PRS floating around, and I have a hunch this guitar will get the matching neck and single coil. I really enjoy the variations in sounds between each setting - very handy!

Video later, I'm still half asleep (it arrived at noon, I get up at 2pm).

I give you: Teddy!







(The case is a little scuffed up but whatever)

Is it sad that I like the color of the case way too much to care about the guitar?
