Help me choose; K7 or RG762AHM-RPB

Glad that TS is making the right choice!

I’m not even a Korn fan but I’d totally buy a K7 for that price if I were in the market for another 7.

It's here, guys! It looks even better in person! The dents on the back have been fixed, and everything is perfect. The knife edge is like new, the neck is flawless, and I did a full leveling and setup. It's ready to rock now!

Definitely the right choice

Congrats!

Guys, I’m not sure if this is a flaw from the original owner or a mistake I made last night when I accidentally banged my headstock against my guitar shelf. Now, I’ve discovered a 0.5 mm crack in the guitar neck pocket. What are your thoughts on this, and what should I do about it?

Super common on older Ibanez. It's known as a paint crack and does nothing to the guitar's structure... but don't let it grow!

 

[7stringDemon]

Just like @odibrom said, it’s a super common thing that effects tons of Ibanez after 5 or so years. They use a very brittle clear coat that is prone to cracking in stress areas.

95% chance it’s a non-issue. Could always take the neck off and be sure.

dang, i dont really feel like taking off the neck tbh @7stringDemon

I wouldnt worry about it, as long as it wasn't a brutally hard hit. You'd likely have other problems worse than that little crack.

I'd keep playing like normal.... I'm sure Munky and Head's K7's back in the day were in far worse shape!

Do you have photos of the blemish repairs the tech made? I'm curious how those turned out.

Even if it is a wood crack it's most likely not going to get worse as long as you don't smash your guitar off the floor cobain style. As said, lots of bolt on/set necks get these with time even with immaculate care. Leave it and don't worry, it's fine

It won't impact the guitar, just try to to bang it into anything else in the future.
