Ibanez RGT42-DR 2000 - deep red stain

It hurts to sell this but recent hand issues are making it impossible for me to play the way this beauty deserves. It starts with the RGT42-DR, 5 piece neck thru construction with a gorgeous deep red stain over a flamed maple top veneer and mahogany body sides. These are excellent guitars except for 2 details that I took care of. #1-the cheap hardware has all been upgrade to Edge Lo-Pro bridge, Edge top-lock, Gotoh tuners, gold pickup rings and dome knobs. #2-the cheap pickups have been upgraded to a DiMarzio/IBZ in the neck(from a Prestige 2550) and a DiMarzio custom humbucker in the bridge(the exact pickup that DiMarzio winds for Phil Collen of Def Leppard). I acquired this bridge pickup directly from Phil's guitar tech at that time. The neck pickup also sports an open top cover from Advanced Plating so the E string will never catch under the pickup bobbin(much nicer than a piece of gaff tape). 5-way switch does have a very slight scratchiness, but probably just needs to be sprayed with some De-Oxit(which I don't have on hand). Condition is remarkable with only 2 notable flaws(see pics). The first is a short crack under the top horn(guessing its from the larger strap button screw, but the button is absolutely tight). The other is a small chip in the clearcoat at the upper corner of the Edge bridge where it chaffed a little(I have since filed that spot for clearance). All pics are taken this week. Frets are perfect and freshly polished. Zero chips on the edges of the body(amazing). Some tarnish/wear on the bridge(common for these). Includes manual, bar(with good nylon bushings) and a full set of allen wrenches. Happy to answer any questions that the photos don't provide. Strung with new D'addario 9-42's. Ships in Prestige molded hard case that is perfect but for a single foot that is half gone(last photo). Fully insured shipping is limited to the continental US.

a little more info: the neck is a Wizard II, which is thicker and chunkier than the super-thin Wizard(many players prefer the extra meat. Its tough to see in the pics, but there are small polishing swirls, especially below the strings from resting fingers. Just going for the clearest description possible and I don't mind if anyone asks for any specific pics to be added.
