Adding one more to the herd of early 90s Ibby RGs. Picked this up off Craigslist for a decent price.

The guy moved the volume knob and did some artwork on the back plates. Its also pretty grimey but after some cleaning and a new pick guard it will be in awesome shape.

Great "acoustic" tone and the neck is straight as an arrow.

I have officially dubbed this guitar "Sharon" in loving memory of her (see backplate).

:metal:

That looks great! Maple, ftw!

 

[distressed_romeo]

Very nice indeed! That's a really pretty shade of blue, and maple boards are indeed awesome!:yesway:

I've been gas'ing for early 90s Ibby maple goodness for a while. Finally pulled the trigger.

Nice man! I loved these guitars. Clean her up and she'll look really nice :yesway:

By the way, you just brought back my GAS for this:

:jj:

 

[metalcunt]

Nice, blue and maple just go hand in hand. :yum:
Shouldn't have sold my RG770DXLB

Im debating if I should go with another lazer blue mirrored pick guard or go with pearloid like that 770.
:yesway:

 

[Toshiro]

Oh, and it's a DX with the mirror no less, very nice!

 

[James]

Nice :yesway: I especially like the dedication :lol:

Go with a pearloid guard.

That looks like the stock location for the volume pot... those holes are too small for a pot shaft to fit through. My guess is somebody had mini-switches in there at some point.

I bet you would have kept it if you put strings on it :metal:

This.

Also, if you ever decide to sell this, PM me :rofl:

Could be. I havent actually compared it to my others since its at work with me, but I just assumed he moved the pot.

The two small holes look like he tried to drill through the guard, hit wood, and then moved it a bit until he got all the way through.

 

[Toshiro]

That's the stock volume pot spot for a 90's RG. The 88-89 models had it closer, making a triangle out of the closest pickguard screw and the bridge pickup height screw.

1989

Vs

1990

I think it needs a mirror blue guard, just like stock.

And matching blue dots.

Blue dots would be cool, but I dont have the skills for that. I thought blue mirror pickup covers as well.

:yesway:

 

[Jack Secret]

Ah, lazer blue WITH the blue mirror pickguard. Excellent.

 

[DomitianX]

Anyone know of a source that has the OG Laser Blue mirrored pickguard? I checked eBay and no luck. I want to get to restoring this baby!

Ibanez - REDzLINE
You can try them, but I'd probably want to send in the original pickguard so they can copy it exactly, no weird screw hole placement and the also to check the placement of the volume pot.
*I haven't had any experience with them so take with a grain of salt.
There used to be a seller on ebay, fairly cheap, can't find him anymore :scratch:

Oh also, WHITE PICKUPS!
