My RGA121 that always finds it's way back to me

[JW Shreds]

So a little back story with this guy, i have owned it on and off for about 9 years. Originally, it was violin flat finish with emg 81/85 pickups in it. traded it like a jackass for another guitar, and got it back from the same guy a month later. Then when Justin Lowe passed away my dad and i refinished it in neon green, and then decided to trade it AGAIN (im an idiot i know) and then my dad passed away so i knew i had to have it back since it was sentimental to me all the time and work we put into it, plus its one of my favorite 6 strings ive ever played. Thankfully the guy who had it posted it on FB marketplace and i offered him a Axion label rgd for it and he went for it. From the time he owned it, he did a ouija wrap on it and honestly i dug it so i kept it and threw an old logo EMG 85 (gotta keep with the 2006 metalcore theme!) in the bridge and just a cheap white pickup from amazon in the neck that isnt even wired in. I think it looks pretty sick! I will never part ways with this thing ever again. It's a shame Ibanez hasnt reissued these yet! Still trying to hunt down a new bridge for it, if anyone knows where to find one?

I like that wrap more than I expected I would. I've done a similar thing with an Orange amp. I've owned the same one four times but I think it's gone for good now.

Me too dude, it's looks and feels smooth like actual wood. I thought it was gonna look dumb at first but im glad i kept it. Hope you can get another one soon!

For a second I was geeking out at the active and passive pickups.

Ask Rich at Ibanezrules.com to see if he can get a bridge. Awesome that it made it back to you, the wrap actually looks pretty cool!

The archtop makes them so comfortable! I'd love to find a 321 for a decent price to go along with my 121!

The body is soooooooo fucking comfortable, aside from the great neck it’s my favorite feature.
