I was at Beez's last weekend, going about the ritual of splicing my instrument to my specific wants but no DNA re-engineering was involved, of course. The Orange Drop cap was de riguer inclusion.
Some time along the way, your sleuthing would reveal Ibanez's (commercial) association with Cort. An evidence of such collaborations would be the default pot you see above. Do note the Cor-Tek label; that's Cort's technology there forming part of the RG's innards.
Replacement pickups in my RG471, a Seymour Duncan affair:
- Neck: '59
- Mid: Classic Stack Plus
- Bridge: Screamin' Demon Trembucker
Fresh strings for it as well; a set of .009 Cleartone. It's much more affordable than the Elixir brand but equally effective. Unlike the latter (which is smoother to the touch), the Cleartone has this Curt Mangan/ Pyramid feel which I fancy.

Ooh don't mind sharing we can find these strings? Been searching for a good, affordable coated alternative to DR and elixir strings!
i bought the Cleartone from SV...
the cavity work looks disappointing?
i'd give the cavity finishing a 7/10 rating; an overall neat job except towards the edges.
