This sparked a lot of negative comments and, unfortunately, left a bad impression of the brand. But I absolutely love Ibanez, and I know how incredible their guitars truly are. That’s why I’m back with this project. I took another model from the exact same RX series to do a complete, high-end refinish—this time, to prove the true worth and beauty of Ibanez guitars to the world. ⚙️ The Build Process & Upgrades: Complete Refinish & Restoration: Stripped the old finish completely and deep-cleaned every single component—down to the very last screw. Custom White Pickguard: The original pickguard was completely shattered, so I custom-crafted and fitted a brand-new white one to give it a fresh, striking look. Upgraded Electronics: Replaced all the internal wiring and delicate electronics to ensure optimal tone and performance. I am absolutely thrilled with how this guitar turned out. The final result is everything I hoped for. I poured my heart into this project to show my respect for Ibanez. I’d love to hear your thoughts, so please leave a comment below! #ibanez #guitarrepair #customguitar
