December 19th, 2025:

Here I am again! This is a kind of a partscaster friends.

I had bought a set of hardware taken from an Ibanez RG2550E Prestige in 2024, then found a neck from an Ibanez 2011 RG350DXZ on which the guy had a problem with the tremolo posts of the vibrato, and when I was about to sell both on internet I've found a german guy that had just posted a body of a 2005 Ibanez RG350 on sale, also in white. Awesome!

Since I had a loaded Fleor HSS pickguard since like 2021 or 2022 around, I've bought a HSS pickguard on Ali...YouKnowWhere, and transfered the whole thing. The pickguard fell right on, all the screws were at the right place, but I had to do a quick drilling to acomodate the wires and the first tone pot. Nothing serious, you can see these stages at the latest photos.

The tuners were not a problem, the Edge Pro neither, I was super happy. The neck joint took me 20 minutes to be perfect. The neck was 1mm larger, maybe less, but after sanding both sides of it everything fell smoothly into place. 

The next day I have made the fret level, set the strings, action and tuned the octaves. The back plate and truss rod cover arrived fast from the same website, and everything is good! 1,2mm action height on the high E, and 2mm on the low E string, not bad! You will be receiving the string retainer and the 2 original knobs from the RG2550 in case one day you decide to come back to the original HSH or even a HH configuration. I personnally wouldn't.

The Fleor Alnico 5s are... reasonable. The single coils need a bit more bite in my opinion, the humbucker is the best of all 3, but the whole thing is pretty decent. And quiet! The video was made plugging it to my Zoom G3, Harley Benton power amp pedal and a 212 cab with HH speakers.

This could be a very nice base for a HSS project with better pickups, specially if you already own another RG and you like Ibanez.

 Cheers!
