Little did I know, I left it in the loving care of Dagna Barrera of Parsons Guitars. This lovely (and super nice) lady took good care of my guitar real well (I are teh guitar n00b - only played for less then 3 months). She recommended that I change string gauge to a higher one (10s) and took care of the fret buzz crap I was having and also fully adjusted my new Seymour Duncan pickups. She even gave my RG a good cleaning (I forgot to polish the frets when I changed strings) and it looked brand new when I cracked my case open. In my hands, it felt even better than brand new! :o Such fine attention to detail too. The lower knob that my strap locks hook on to was a bit loose and I half assed tried to fill it up (so it could be tightened). I checked that and it was as tight as can be (she fixed it for me!). Fingerboard seems to have been treated/cleaned as well.
I'm so glad I trusted my RG to such caring and able hands. I know its relatively cheap and not the best guitar in the world, but it is my first guitar and that will always have a special place in my heart. It's perceived value far out numbers it's actual monetary value. But with that said, it's not exactly a piece of shit either. ;) (Hey its a Legendary Ibanez RG guitar - now with hot roaring Seymour Duncans).
I will definitely recommend this wonderful Luthier to anyone who needs it. :)
Check them out for all your guitar needs up here in Seattle.
Lastly a pic of my cherished RG:
All set up!
