Hey there, I'm selling my Yamaha RGX 420S. I bought it new in 2003 for £220 in Sound Control (RIP), it's well used, has a lot of dents at the bottom and one large(ish) chip on the body contour at the back (about an inch by an inch). The reason i'm selling it ; I rarely play guitar since I sold my guitar amp and my Line 6 POD.

In terms of style and play, I'd say it suits metal/prog/neo-classical style of playing, as the neck is very, very thin (Ibanez style). It has nice low action and a decent tone out of it. You can also experiment with the Direct switch, it basically by-passes the pots and gives you full tone and full volume from the rear pickup. It has a Licensed Floyd Rose bridge, I'll be honest with you here I find them slightly annoying for changing strings, but I may not be using the correct technique. It also has a locking nut, which as you know is a fantastic addition of you're trying to be Dragonforce. Funnily enough, it's the loudest guitar I've ever played acoustically, it can resonant well and loud. Being a Yamaha, you know there will be no faults with it. Oh and I spent an hour polishing the frets for whoever will purchase this, as I'm so kind lol. Any questions about the features or body, just ask.

I think this would be a great project guitar, you already have a classic modern guitar shape, a fast, thin neck and a light Alder body. Drop your favourite active 'buckers in, install a real Floyd Rose, etc. There are loads of options to make this an Ibanez RG killer for a 3rd of the price.

I think £70 (including postage and packing) is a good deal for a working, well used, solid instrment.

Take care and thanks for reading.

PS - It's got new strings on it now.

As you can see The Yammy now has strings. You can also see the polishing I done to the frets and how nice the wood grain is on the neck, somebody must be interested.

Take care.

Edit : I see [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Yamaha-RGX420S-Electric-Guitar-/150513674999?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item230b506af7"]this one [/url] went for £60 as a collect only, so I brought my price down to £60 INCLUDING postage and packaging, saving you around £15.
