Modding Ibanez RG7421 in 2 days | Part 1: shaping, applying veneer

[@ThePlaguedRaven]

Awesome job and awesome video man, loved it. The camera work, raw audio with no music. Never knew how veneer's were done, very interesting. 26 minutes well spent. Enjoy the guitar and enjoy this life.

[@amusia-guitars]

Thanks, man! Glad to hear!

Nice protect! I find personally that Ibanez has all the spect"s for comfterbule playing, the quality stuff makes it fun! -- Tahuya Shawn--

[@amusia-guitars]

Thank you! Yeah, this is nice guitar already from shop. But we want to make it even better :)

[@ELECTRICSCARS]

This is like ASMR, love it

[@amusia-guitars]

thank you!

I actually like boring looking instruments. I prefer to let my playing do all the talking. But I dislike how sharp the RG is on the edges and am really digging your take on rounding it off. Really dig the burl veneer too. My favorite body shape is the Ibanez S Series. Huge fan of the RG though. I like your version alot.

[@Biking-Around]

Awesome job! Where do you find the RGD profile for shapping the guitar? I want to do the same with mine 😅

[@amusia-guitars]

Thank you! I searched out a hi-res picture of RGD model, transmitted on my tv, then made a huge piece of paper out of 4 or 5 A4 format, put it on tv and made a sketch

[@TheBoardGarage]

Excellent work.

[@amusia-guitars]

Thanks man!

[@extirpatebabel]

May I know what kind of glue did you use to apply the veneer on it?

[@amusia-guitars]

Titebond glue

[@extirpatebabel]

@@amusia-guitars Thank you sir. I am very new to DIY work but I love guitar, and seeing your work has truly helped build my confidence to start somewhere on my guitar mod journey. You are awesome 👍🏻

[@amusia-guitars]

@@extirpatebabel Thank you so much! Glad to hear it!

Подскажите, пожалуйста, где можно приобрести такой тоненький топ, как у вас в видео? (то, что я нашел имеет толщину 7 мм)

[@amusia-guitars]

Приветствуем! Шпон покупался в магазине woodstock, у них довольно широкий ассортимент и при покупке дают самому выбрать подходящий экземпляр

[@stefanoramon]

Great result, btw i much rather prefer to a poly finish, many layers in matte finish because you will always see the join portion between veneer and the body. With many layers of thick clearcoat can give you a smoother result. Anyway, amazing result! I really like you "respected" the instrument as Ibanez and used the RGD beveled style.

[@amusia-guitars]

Thank you, Stefano! Talking about the finish, I"ll observe the behavior of this and maybe will varnish over. Tomorrow we are going to shoot the final of this story, reassembling, new pickups, new bridge and a plythrough, stay tuned!

[@JargonFootprint]

Nice storytelling and beautiful camera perspectives and editing. The sound design is promising, however everything is in mono audio. It's a pain to listen to it on headphones. Did something go wrong with the upload?

[@amusia-guitars]

Hi, thank you! And thanks for your observation, this all was recorded in mono, next time will do in stereo

[@paullavrinenko7219]

Не за что)

[@kirikovs]

👌

Does the oil fill the holes in the veneer?

[@amusia-guitars]

Hi! Wood absorbs the oil, finally we don't have a flat surface, you can still feel all the little holes, if talking about this guitar. Maybe exist other techiques or solutions how to achieve a totally flat surface with oil on a veneer

[@solring]

@@amusia-guitars After watching some videos I would say that using some kind of grain filler might work, but I'm just guessing. Thanks for answering and by the way, I love the video.

[@Kyzminandrey1]

Надо будет тоже так сделать, а то у меня из падука корпус на ибанезе, сначала было всё ок, а потом решил заделать флойд, получилось не красиво)

[@avo3116]

Что это за лист вы использовали для топа ?

[@amusia-guitars]

Это шпон из корня тополя

[@trustlang_ua]

Which oil do you use?

[@amusia-guitars]

Tung oil by Minwax

[@trustlang_ua]

@@amusia-guitars thanks. I will try it
