Cool guitar - Liking the Orange a lot. My Ibanez always grabs people attention because its so yellow it hurts their ccasion14: eyes.

I've got a 1990 DY RG550 from 1990 (bought in 91). This picture reminds me of how it used to look before gigging and clumsy singers took their toll!

That is one sick guitar.

Why is there no paint beneath the tremolo? Did ask for that...or is that how Warmoth paints them?

 

[The Norwegian Guy]

because it's routed after the paintjob

They have a flat black option for that and the other routes now as well.

But only for additional routs in finished bodies, not the routs that are already done (and finished in the body color). That means you could have two pup routs in body color, and one pup and the trem rout black. I'm not sure if I like that one better than leaving it blank.

The original question was asking why the trem route wasn't painted.  The pickup routes wood only be seen with pickguard out or pickups off, so who cares.  It wouldn't matter if they were bare, black, green, or had the Mona Lisa on them but the trem rout is always seen.

If it's rear routed I'd care...

 

[stratplayer1]

yeah. rear routed sometimes you can see into the route.. thatd be pretty ugly without paint or dye
