BeAR Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 I often buy stuff from the local pawn shop, and this was just too good to pass up. With a case, Dimarzio DP151 PAF Pro in the neck, Dimarzio DP153 FRED at the bridge, and the Dimarzio single/humbucker in the middle. Its an RG470FM. It cost less than 2 of the pickups would have cost. Just gotta explain to the wife why I needed another guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeAR Posted October 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 I think the pickups will have to go to make way for some EMG's. Everyone keeps raving about them so I might give em a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Fruit Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 I think the pickups will have to go to make way for some EMG's. If you want, i could take thoses DiMarzios off your hands for ya ... Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gw_guitars Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 NICE GUITAR!! Is there a limit on how many guitars someone could own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Looks like a Fast Track model in the middle, excellent score though! And yes there is a limit to how many guitars one person can own but nobody has reached the limit yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DividedByJames Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Sweet ...I think thats one of my fav colors...transparent orange. I don't know why I like it, but over curly maple, it looks sweet. I picked up an Ibanez RG for cheap too, and its got the sickest curly/birdseye maple neck (w/ rosewood fb). The neck was the reason I bought it. Then the guy had Dimarzios in it. I unscrewed the pickups and found they were DP103 and DP100 which were the PAF and Super distortion. Not bad for 2bills. Nice snag! Wish I would have found it before you tho. How much did you snag it for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckguitarist Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 And yes there is a limit to how many guitars one person can own but nobody has reached the limit yet 6-7 digit range??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeAR Posted October 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 It cost me $320 australian. The 2 humbuckers retail for about the same amount here. Krazyderek..........what condition are the emg's in? got a pic? Tell me more about the 85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 that's a pretty good price especially with those pickups in'er.... one is mint with the quick connect tab on the back, the other one i got on ebay and it has the old style cord going right into the pickup and the emg logo on that one is kinda worn off cause i got it from a lefty, other then that both are cosmetically flawless, i'll see if i have a pic, but they really complete my rythm/metal guitar so i still can't decide... would you consider just swaping 1 for 1? *edit* found a pic, turns out it's just the G on the neck pickup thats a bit warn off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeAR Posted October 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Yeah it was pretty cheap. Think this might have to go on ebay for a quick profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zandro Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Yeah it was pretty cheap. Think this might have to go on ebay for a quick profit. Why bother with eBay? I'll pay you $14USD for it right now! An offer too good to refuse! Seriously man, that's a great deal. <envy> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullmuzzler Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 That's really nice guitar, man! You scored, BIG TIME! I didn't know that RG470s are built with maple boards. mullmuzzler | OSSMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
