This guitar is less a modification than a personal blueprint. Almost every part was reconsidered until the RG550EX became my own vision of a signature-series instrument.

Story

The RG2228 fulfilled the dream of owning a first eight-string. Tuned to Drop E, it opened a different musical vocabulary โ€” while somehow still not letting me play Meshuggah in the right tuning.

Setup changes, long-term impressions and the full personal chapter will be added here.
