...reason being, to avoid temptation. :grin:

So in my local classifieds, a fixed-bridge Ibanez RG Prestige popped up, model number is RG652FX.

There's a paint chip on the rear edge of the body but I don't really mind as this could get fixed by my local luthier anyway.

Not sure if it's a legit MIJ Prestige but he's asking PHP 42,000 (around USD $836) for it. It's got a Bareknuckle Ragnarok in the bridge and it doesn't come with the prestige case. Not sure if it's a good deal as this will be my first prestige (and first MIJ RG) if ever.

His ad has been on since a few weeks back and I can't get it off my mind since I saw it. An MIJ RG in black with a fixed bridge is pretty much 'endgame' level for me as far as my desire for guitars go so I'm really thinking about getting this to put a stop to all my future GAS. :redneck:

seems a little pricey, maybe you could haggle like a hundred off

A floyd on that thing without the damage might be worth what he's asking for it tbh... I'd offer less.

that's close to retail for the hardtail prestige in that range, no way is it worth that used and damaged

well his post is still active and he still hasn't dropped down his price...looks like a lot of folk are finding his price to be unreasonable
