NGD: Classic Shreddahr

[fdesalvo]

Mint 93 S540LTD!  Been obsessed with these ever since I saw my first one back in the 90s. Really want a Jewel Blue or Desert Yellow one next!  I've so much to learn about these double locking floyds.

Congratulations Frank.

By the way it's an Ibanez Edge trem in there not an actual Floyd.

 

[fdesalvo]

To get more granular, I believe it's the  "lo-pro edge" hehe. It says "Licensed by Floyd Rose" or something along the bridge.  Hmmm.  The plot thickens. 

I swear ibanez has more strange and mutated bridges out there than any other OEM combined. This one seems really nice, though I hear of people going on about brass block upgrades.

Cheers,

Very cool guitar, I've always like those, pretty much same guitar that Satch uses. But I had a hard time getting used to the thin body edges...

 

[fdesalvo]

Thanks, brother - I really like these for that look.  The 540R (Radius) series is the more rounded model that became the JS.  Pure sex either one!

 

[stratamania]

I forgot the mention Frank, that I found personally the Ibanez Edges to have a different feel to an OFR. Not in a bad way, just different. And now I'm wondering why I sold my Jem last year. Cest la vie.

 

[fdesalvo]

Preach it. I've sold so many things I later regretted!

I'm a born again double-locking trem virgin. Been at least 15 years since I sold my old RG!  I can't even remember what it was like. I feel so ashamed.

 

[Timmsie95]

Nice! I've always loved these guitars.

As for the locking trem, they are nice once they're set up but a pain to get up and running..

 

[Axkoa]

I really like the body shape of these and just how smooth they look. Also love the look of the placement for the output jack, which is odd. Awesome guitar man!

 

[swarfrat]

Yup - always loved that body. Sleek!

 

[fdesalvo]

Thanks gang.  I've always had a boner for those sharktooth inlays.  So aggressive and shreddy.  ccasion14:

How is this not seshual chocolate??

  :tard:

 

[Timmsie95]

Man, that is really clean! My guitars are never that clean, even when I first get them... haha

 

[fdesalvo]

Oh it won't be long man.

I just don't understand how a guitar can remain unmolested for 23 years. It boggles the mind. 

 

[Timmsie95]

That is definitely a great find, man! Tweaky makes me want my custom built RG in my hands now..

 

[fdesalvo]

Pics of said RG!

 

[Timmsie95]

As soon as i get it, I'll have pics up! Last i checked, he's doing coats of paint.

 

[fdesalvo]

Nice!  What color(s)?

 

[Timmsie95]

Satin black, with white binding all over. Gina look real slick!
