I PURCHASED THIS LEFTY 1989 RG-560 BRAND NEW IN 1989. THESE WERE BASICALLY LESS EXPENSIVE(MADE IN JAPAN) VERSIONS OF THE STEVE VAI MODEL. RIGHT AWAY I STARTED TO CUSTOMIZE AND UPGRADE ITS PARTS. FIRSTLY, I HAD A PRO REMOVE THE STOCK (LOW GRADE) PICKUPS AND INSTALL A FULL EMG PICKUP SYSTEM - AN 81 AND TWO SA SINGLE COILS, ALONG WITH ALL THE WIRING, POTS, INPUT JACK, AND 5-WAY SWITCH. NEXT, I HAD THE SAME PRO REMOVE THE STOCK TREMOLO AND INSTALL A BRAND NEW ORIGINAL FLOYD ROSE. AFTER THAT, I HAD A CUSTOM MADE (FROM SCRATCH) PEARLOID PICKGUARD PUT ON (THESE GUITARS HAD NO PICKGUARDS FROM THE FACTORY).
THE GUITAR STAYED THIS WAY FOR MANY YEARS, THEN IN 2006, I DECIDED TO CHANGE THE COLOR FROM ITS ORIGINAL RED (ONE OF ONLY TWO CHOICES FROM THE FACTORY) TO A CUSTOM VERY UNIQUE DEEP PURPLE. TO MAKE THE GUITAR EVEN MORE COOL AND UNIQUE, WHEN IT WAS STRIPPED DOWN TO THE BARE BASSWOOD BODY, I HAD THE GUITAR BUILDER RESHAPE THE LARGE UPPER HORN TO MATCH THE SHARP BOTTOM HORN, MAKING THE AX LOOK KILLER AND MORE ONE OF A KIND.
I TOOK MANY PHOTOS IN DIFFERENT LIGHT SETTINGS BECAUSE THE COLOR CHANGES DEPENDING ON THE LIGHT. INSIDE, IT IS A VERY DARK DEEP PURPLE, BUT BRING IT OUTSIDE AND IT SHOWS A BEAUTIFUL VIBRANT PURPLE WITH SUBTLE METTALIC SPARKLES. LASTLY, THE VERY PLAIN LOOKING HEADSTOCK OVERLAY (BLACK WITH "IBANEZ" IN SILVER), WAS SANDED OFF, REVEALING THE BEAUTIFUL MAPLE UNDERNEATH, AND A CUSTOM MADE, SOLID ROSEWOOD TRUSS ROD COVER WAS ADDED ALONG WITH SOLID ROSEWOOD TUNING BUTTONS TO MATCH THE ROSEWOOD FRETBOARD, GIVING THE GUITAR A REALLY HIGH END TOUCH. THE GUITAR IS "LIKE NEW", NO DENTS ,DINGS OR SCRATCHES. THE TREMOLO ARM & BACK COVER ARE ALSO INCLUDED.
THE GUITAR NOT ONLY LOOKS GREAT, BUT PLAYS AND SOUNDS EVEN BETTER. THE MEDIUM-JUMBO FRETS ARE STILL IN VERY GOOD SHAPE, AND THE ACTION IS LOW AND FAST.
RIGHT NOW THE GUITAR IS SET-UP WITH 10'S AND THE FLOYD IS "BLOCKED" WITH A SMALL PIECE OF WOOD, WHICH CAN BE EASILY REMOVED AND SET- UP
TO FUNCTION ANY WAY YOU LIKE. THE ORIGINAL CASE (IN THE PICTURES) IS INCLUDED, AND IS STILL IN VERY GOOD SHAPE.
YOU WILL NOT SEE ANY RG LIKE THIS ONE OUT THERE, TOTALLY CUSTOM AND ONE OF A KIND, (ESPECIALLY IN A LEFTY).
GOOD LUCK!
