OG Ibanez RG770DX | 90s High-End Legend | Demo & Review

In the debut episode of The Guitar Vault Archive, we uncase a true 90s shred legend and look at the exact instrument that defined my transition into a professional player: a 1991 Ibanez RG770DX in Laser Blue. As the original and only owner of this premium FujiGen, Japan-built model, this guitar carries a massive personal history. It is one of only two "Brazil survivor" instruments that made the long journey with me to the United States. Over 35 years of heavy gigs, it has survived custom modifications and decades of play. Today, it faces its biggest challenge yet: a complete restoration workflow to fix its aging electronics, address noise issues, and bring the intonation back to 100%. Watch the full technical spec breakdown of the legendary original 17mm Wizard neck profile, the iconic original Edge tremolo system, and check out the historic battle scars—including the holes from an old Roland synth pickup modification. Can we restore this golden-era Japanese icon back to its original glory?
