Title: Repainted 1987 Rg550
Post by: polarized06 on April 01, 2006, 08:32:54 PM

here's my repainted 1987 Rg550 which i acquired last month...it came with an original hardcase...well it was a good buy...the guitar was in good condition (except for the paint) the neck is not warped, the fingerboard is clean (for a maple of course), the tremolo is not tarnished and the logo was preserved :) di ata masyado nagamit nung owner...hejust destroyed the paint with the girly floral artwork he put on the guitar (damn it)!

Had arie repainted it to dark violet with black bursts around the contours..the orignal color was black with red lining on the contours.

here are some pics (sorry if their not crystal clear!)

yup! ok na ok pa po ang tunog....may nagsabi sakin ung mga walang tatak na stock PU ng 1987 Rg550 daw naka dimarzio (totoo kaya?)...sakin ok ung tunog...di bitin..great sustain unlike other stock pickups from my experience...hehe
