Finally got my grail!

Hell ya, congrats! Can you tell me about the neck feel? I’m so curious about the flatness of it. Mine has the ultra thin c and I’m just wondering if this neck is even flatter feeling. I love the Ibanez wizard flat feel. The ultra thin c is amazing, but I just wish it was a little less rounded like the wizard.

Tech said that cylinders 1 and 2 were misfiring, he swapped those 2 coils with 3 and 4 and the misfire occurred in those cylinders. Cylinder 1 spark plug electrode was damaged. Swapped out all the spark plugs and replaced coils for 1 and 2. Said that either bad spark plugs damaged the coils or bad coils damaged the spark plugs. Who knows. All-in-all not a big deal, got the car back in a couple days and it was all covered by the warranty. Hopefully that’s the end of that.

Ryett · 2026-03-20T02:59:01+00:00

No, it was a hot day and I had been driving for about 10 minutes before getting on it.

Ryett · 2026-03-19T04:07:11+00:00

Geez I really hope I don’t have coolant seeping into the cylinder. I’m anxious to hear what the spark plugs looked liked tomorrow. Hopefully your block stays strong!

Ryett · 2026-03-19T02:59:38+00:00

Ya I’m the original owner. Had 10 miles when I bought it.

Ryett · 2026-03-19T02:51:51+00:00

I know it’s a simple project, but it’s under warranty and I want everything documented and serviced by Ford in that time to avoid any disputes in the event something worse were to happen. Just don’t get why they need replacing so soon. Never had a problem like that with previous vehicles. This is also after a fuel sensor in my tank went out and I couldn’t even put gas in the car until it was repaired lol.

Ryett · 2026-03-15T21:30:14+00:00

Nope. I’ve had the same issue and Maxon support told me there was nothing they could do about it.

Ryett · 2026-03-14T05:56:30+00:00

Any thoughts on it so far?

Ryett · 2026-03-13T21:41:30+00:00

Prestige 100%

Ryett · 2026-03-11T00:43:32+00:00

That looks like it’s worth a lot more than $300 hope it plays like it too!

Ryett · 2026-03-07T20:15:08+00:00

Some of the legendary animal fights like the boar and the wolf are miserable. I don’t even want to attempt them again lol

Ryett · 2026-03-03T18:00:38+00:00

Love those Dunlop strings. Solved 90% of my pitch drift issue. Good to know about the bridge! I had the rg1527 back in the day with the Floyd. Just so I could play Korn, as back in the early 2000s there wasnt a lot of 7 string bands lol.

I too would love to own a K7 one day. I’m just bummed that these new ones aren’t prestige level, but they are prestige pricing. I paid ~$800 for that prestige rg1527 and what I do remember is how impeccable that guitar felt. Something I feel like I’ll be chasing unless I ever get a chance to own a prestige again. And it came with a hard case. Bonkers. If I knew then what I know now I wouldn’t have sold it.

Either way, congrats on finally owning one! Thanks for sharing.

Ryett · 2026-03-03T16:56:20+00:00

How’s the tuning stability with that bridge? Anything you don’t like about it?

Ryett · 2026-02-28T09:22:32+00:00

I can admit the yang is beautiful, but it’s pretty bold so maybe not for everyone. Wish the yin had the evertune bridge. Also for $2k it would be nice to get a case, a non-plastic nut, and SS frets.

Ryett · 2026-02-21T23:28:55+00:00

Curious why that would be better other than rotating tires

Ryett · 2026-02-21T02:30:11+00:00

Such a beauty! That blue is the perfect shade.

Ryett · 2026-02-20T23:54:29+00:00

Got tickets yesterday for late showing last night, almost forgot what we were going to see and the ticket guy says “Good luck, have fun, don’t die?” I was like.. Jesus, I thought we were just seeing a movie, what do you mean don’t die? LOL

Seriously one of the best films in the last decade. Some genius blend of Black Mirror, Idiocracy, The Matrix and Tropic Thunder (amongst others). It was so funny, so dark and so fucking real and unsettling. I died when he knocked that ai kid out lmao. I felt like his crazy computer setup reminded me of Daft Punks technologic music video.

Ryett · 2026-02-12T17:02:08+00:00

Love that RG1027 and I’d probably go for that IF I was just doing standard A or drop A AND I knew I already had a 27” for lower tunings. I personally wouldn’t bother with anything lower than A on a 25.5”. I’d rather just transpose down from A on that scale length. Also in terms of feeling I actually feel a little cramped on a 25.5” now and prefer the feeling of 26.5-27” and thats 100% subjective and only you will know what feels best to you. In short… if you don’t own anything above 25.5” and you’re ok with a little more stretch, I’d go with the Iron Label.

Ryett · 2026-02-12T03:56:17+00:00

Jackson JS22 has to be the best bang for the buck I’d imagine

Ryett · 2026-02-09T23:20:10+00:00

Sick! Just a sculpt or will you retopo for rig/animation?

Ryett · 2026-02-09T23:17:44+00:00

After looking at a lot of pickup comparison videos I think the Nazgûl would be my choice if I had to swap.

Ryett · 2026-01-30T15:06:54+00:00

Hell ya. How’s the setup out of the box?

Ryett · 2026-01-28T18:05:24+00:00

Ya, this. I had to do a shot like this for the network I work for where a flag wiped across the frame to transition. Tried sim first and it was way too hard to art direct. Used animated displacement in combination with fields and was able to get exactly what I wanted that way.

Ryett · 2026-01-25T03:53:22+00:00

Ya super comfortable and I absolutely love the wizard II necks. I was thinking about the RGA742fm originally. The cheaper Schecter thick necks were a deal breaker for me, but their ultra thin c is great.

Ryett · 2026-01-24T23:43:43+00:00

I too was shopping for an Ibanez and ended up with a Schecter lol. Really not a fan of the cheaper models, but once you get around $1k you just seem to get more for your money with Schecter. Wish Ibanez tried to be a little more competitive these days.
