WTB: Ibanez RG Hardtail Body

What's Hot

Just wondering if anyone has a hardtail Ibanez RG body for sale? AANJ, preferably Japanese but can work with others. 
In a perfect world it would be no pickguard, no pickup rings, and still finished, but I understand beggars can't be choosers.
I've been eyeing up the Jaden Rose body on eBay but its a little more than I'd like to pay at the moment.

    In the nicest possible way, I hope that you do not manage to find a lower cost alternative guitar body. 

    The JR body on eBay is a high quality item. If you know that you really want it, do not stint yourself by settling for less. You would always regret it.

    Meanwhile, a little bird in another Discussion suggests that JR necks may become available again soon.
    Be seeing you.

    My heart tells me to buy it! But it’s not 100% ideal spec - the fact it’s an arch top and has no forearm contour has been a deal breaker in the past, and I’ve never had an instrument with the selector switch below the two pickups. Neither are major issues, but just little niggly voices of contention in the back of my mind when I (repeatedly) view it on eBay!

    I'm tempted with that actually but I think I may be changing my plans...

    I resell Ibanez style bodies in the UK, so if you want something custom, i can order one in. Alder or Ash. Its hard ash, and quite heavy, but some really nice grain available usually. Most ibanez shapes are available. The wipe on finishes work pretty well, such as Truoil, which is handy if you dont have anywhere to paint.

    I bought a few from a guy in Belarus, and i was so impressed with them, ive been reselling them in the UK every since. i buy them in batches made to my specs. i dont make much out of it, but ive met (online) some cool people over the years.

    Give me a shout if your interested.

    few examples:
