What kind of guitar do you use?

^Which model?

Jackson RR3 tuned to standard and occasionally a step down, and a Vintage VS6 tuned to standard.

Nothing amazing I know, but I hope to get an RR24 soon.

^Post pictures of them!

One of the most recent pictures of my Ibanez RG 7421

^I was almost gonna a RG 7321 brand new in fact.
But I ended up finding that fantastic, Japanese made 7421 for less than half the price of a new 7321.
It sucks they don't make the 7421 anymore, because they really are better than the 7321.
If you can, try to find a 7421/7621/7420 or an RG 7620. They were the 7 strings that represented the golden era of Ibanez 7 strings. Once you play one of the Japanese made 7 strings from the late 90s/early 2000s like those aforementioneds models, you'll have a hard time going back to the Indonesian made 7321 (unless you got your a 7321 a few years ago, in which case it will be Korean made).
The 1527 model is great too, although not cheap unless you snag one on the used market that is a  few years old.

Yeah, mine is a 2003 made Korean model.

I don't know.  I think for my next guitar (which will be a 7, as I love my RGT) I'd like to probably get it custom shopped, so I'd look to companies like Carvin or Blackmachine

Haha.  Yeah.  The posting button seems to be acting weird for me as well.  I don't know if it's been doing this for a long time, because I really need to start posting here more often :S

Blackmachine make some absolutely incredible instruments, and I haven't even played one yet, and I know they do, hehe.
Seriously, the pictures of Blackmachine guitars I've seen blow me away every time, the sheer craftsmanship that goes into them.
Blackmachine is a true custom maker, where Carvin is technically not a true custom maker. Sure, you can choose what specs you want, but compared to a dedicated custom builder, your choices are severely limited.
Go for a Blackmachine, there is not a chance you'd regret it, because everyone that owns one is absolutely knocked off their feet by their guitar.

Yeah, I barely use a trem these days, hence why I picked up the fixed bridge 7421.
BTW, what year was your RGT320Q made?
2005 or 2006 or something?
I have the Ibanez 2006 catalogue, it has that same finish as the one in your sig for the 2006 model.

Also, btw, KxK make custom made guitars for under 1400 USD, if money is an issue.
I know guys that bought KxK guitars, got them shipped to Australia, and they still costs less than a brand new Ibanez RG 1527.

2007 model, nice.
I'd love to have one, if it were not for the fact I don't play 6 string guitars and I don't buy guitars to collect them, I play them, and if I don't, I sell them to someone that will.
I pretty much spend hours each day on guitar forums, and probably 2-4 hours playing guitar each day, so I'm kinda a guitar nut as you can tell
