Long time no post. Since my last post, I've graduated and moved to Japan and still haven't moved all of my gear. There is a also mains voltage issue (230V vs. 100V) and my most of my gear is not designed to work on 100V.

After the boring intro, here is some info of the star of the show. I've seen this guy in a local 2nd hand store for only 350 US money which is a steal if you ask me so I've bought it immediately. There is little to zero fret wear, no dents and it looks amazing for 17 year old guitar.
The model is RG7CSD1, MIJ model for Japanese market (apparently made by the same people who make j.custom series) , 7 stringer with dual EMG 707s. EMGs are not my cup of tea but for that price I will swallow the whole pot of that tea :D Also, controls are pretty unusual for RGs (2V and 2T, Les Paul style). Without further ado, here are some photos:

Whoa... what a steal! Nice score... so what do you do for a living in Japan now that you moved there if I may ask ? I was just there on vacation last month and loved it. You know I went to 30 guitar stores though I couldn't find a used caparison horus to take home with me :(

I am working as a engineer and developer for one pro A/V broadcasting solutions company.

I must also say that I haven't seen many Caparisons at all, needless to say used ones.
 
I've never seen an Ibanez with the LP style controls. It looks pretty schweet!
 
Very cool. Not many of those around. Congrats on a great score!
 
Awesome deal. I love the chrome hardware - especially the Lo Pro7.
 
A small update:
I bought 3 9V clips today and soldered them together to use it as removable 18V mod. I prefer it much more like this
