I believe it was an RG series with a standard 6 post tremolo that someone converted for use with a tune-o-matic, and routed out. (originally had 2 humbuckers) The main question.. what type of neck does it accept? front back Captainibanez Username: Captainibanez Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Tuesday, July 19, 2005 - 11:21 pm:    Slomo, thats not a RG body, nor a EX nor a RX Series Ibanez body. Looks like who ever cut it had a bad hangover. Also it has to many holes in the neck cavity,and none of the above mentioned models have a top of the body input jack. Ibanez's policy is to only supply necks for their own brand guitars and not a "hobby" or build my own situation. I would suggest maybe a box of matches and a tin of petrol. By the time you buy all the bits and pieces then fill in all its holes that are not needed, youv'e probably spent more money than its worth. My Opinion only Captain Ibanez Mr_roadstar Username: Mr_roadstar Registered: 06-2002 Posted on Tuesday, July 19, 2005 - 11:55 pm:    I must concur. This does not look like any Ibanez body I'm familiar with. Frankly, it looks like a homegrown creation Steve Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Wednesday, July 20, 2005 - 7:32 am:    It looks like a limb that I recently cut off af my maple tree that happened to resemble a guitar body Movinginslomo Username: Movinginslomo Registered: 07-2005 Posted on Wednesday, July 20, 2005 - 4:30 pm:    Oh it's a piece of of crap, I'm sure. But I'm on a mission to build the world's most atheticly crappy looking guitar. I'll add back on a tune-o-matic, screw a high gain humbucker in there, and add a volume pot ala van halen, with the huge cavity open and wires hanging out. Yes, I'm weird, and yes, I have real guitars including an Ibanez artwood accoustic. Someday maybe i'll get an ibanez electric too. I was curious, the guy said it was possibly and RG, and I'm wondering what kind of neck fits on this hunk of garbage. lol Spiro Username: Spiro Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Wednesday, July 20, 2005 - 5:28 pm:    Hey movingslomo.. I think one of the necks below will fit the neck pocket perfectly.. But seriously, you may have to measure out the neck pocket.. And then try and figure out what scale the guitar is.. Maybe it is way too much trouble? Movinginslomo Username: Movinginslomo Registered: 07-2005 Posted on Wednesday, July 20, 2005 - 10:02 pm:    ha definately. I'll probably end up with a strat copy body, those tend to be pretty universal.. and then my dream shall come true! buahaha.
