Do the right thing and go buy the purple one immediately

Nowt wrong with basswood.

Also RG models available in other woods of course.

Purple. Or try out some Charvels, as others have said; the DK24 range in particular - if you go for that, orange is the one

Branshen

Yellow is awesome on this guitar!

Some questions.

1. Anything else ugly, tasteless but fun you'd recommend for under a grand?
2. I'm doomed, aren't  I?
2. Purple or Yellow?

Thanks in advance.

Are you a drummer by any chance?

1. Leopard skin print clothing

2. Yes

2. Purple

Anything but purple, it's a disgusting colour.
Mostly worn by tarts.

I've got a 1989 RG750 on loan from a friend for a bit, it feels totally different to all the other guitars I have which include a few Hamer Superstrats. Its is a total weapon and very addictive to play!

Go for it! Get it!

Charvels are just Strats in drag (I own one).

RGs are alien artefacts.

I have a Strat and a les Paul. I basically play blues and blues rock.

If I could have a 3rd guitar it would be a 335. If I could have a 4th guitar it would be a snot green Charvel with floyd rose or a Washburn N4. I've no idea when I could ever justifiably play them in public but who gives a shit? An RG550 is an absolute classic design.

Thanks for the responses. 
Yup, doomed.

Nice!

Just waiting for the cash to come through, not long now. 

I think I deserve it. 

Mrs S is getting a new knee tomorrow. 
That'll be purple for a while too.

She won't be able to get up the stairs to tell you to turn it down!

Hope it goes well for her

OP, you didn't expect a bunch of people who hang out on a guitar forum to talk you out of a purchase did you? 

I'd have gone for purple too.

used MIJ Ibanez RG550, cant go wrong (as long as it was looked after!) I own many Ibanez guitars, just brilliantly made instruments
