Extreme Guitar makeover

[lucadia]

Hello softies, i need your recommendation

i currently have a Ibanez 450. i'm kinda sick of the colour of it (its royal blue i think) and since i'm a racer X fan. i wanna have the guitar repainted to green, have the bridge cavity filled, slap on a fixed bridge and have the pickup rings, pickups, the knobs and switched to be pink.

Can anyone suggest to me which shop or person can i send my guitar to for this makeover?

it will cost quite abit bro.. wont be cheap.. maybe sell away ur ibanez450 and buy a new one that u like?
quite a few people can do the things u want, i cant really remember their names now.. i think kc, gr3y, and seekzstompers

thanks for the quick reply.. i don't its possible to buy a stock RG that is pink and green with a fixed bridge on it. i know its costly but i'm prepared to spend.. i think ahah

thanks again

hmm, i think it might cost around 800-1k..
and the brand and type of pickups might also affect the price quite abit..

I was like you 5 years ago, when I thought of filling up my RG550 bridge routing and putting on a fixed bridge. Went to a shop in the basement of Peninsular, and was quoted about $500 for the fill-up alone. It is not a simple work, because blocks of wood, preferably same material as the body wood, have to be cut to fit the routing nicely. Then, glue will be applied, and everything clamped, plus some waiting, for the whole work to complete.

Why not just buy a 2nd-hand RG321, or RGR321 (reverse headstock, means more PG-like), then, spray whatever RacerX colors you like.

Even if you are prepared to pay $800 for all the works and parts, you'll end up with quite a funny RG450... IMO, it's not worth the money and effort to do it.

You might want to check out the Prestige RGA121, which comes in pink and has a fixed bridge.
