Red re-string

Indoor Thursday, spent some time with the red RG550. It's the only one left in its original incarnation, no mods.

With that said, I simply had to replace these pickguard screws. Folks, rusty screws are darn difficult to remove. You might round off the top while doing it & that makes it even harder for you. Also, super rusty screws might snap off in the midst of removal so some drilling is required to extract the broken bits. Rusty screws are easy & not costly to deal with so better safe than sorry. If you think leaving your guitar be in its hard case won't cause screws to rust - it doesn't work that way.

A set of D'Addario 9s for this one.
