Finally my 10th is playable !!
After the pup replacements, the only problem was this tuning inestability...
I had not put the trem bar in it for ages, as it was useles to attempt any whammy tricks....
But....I came across the tech section on Rich´s site...
After going thru the whole process, It was obvious that my problem was the flat knife edges as the trem posts had been replaced recently with the new grooved ones. After following the filing instructions....Voila! I have a playable guitar again! I dont know if its 96, 98 or 99% but it sounds PERFECT to me.
The reason I wanted to share this was not only to express my gratitude, but also to let everyone know about a section we might be overlooking...
As far as I can see this is a VERY common problem, where at least half of my Ibanez have/ had it. I will be putting the JS thru it today as I'm sure it has the same prob.
This is not a difficult mod. If u are familiar with taking the trem off, you will have no problem at all.
I hope my recent experience gets someone "whammming" happily again..
Thanks for sharing Rich...Ever thought of recording a vid? Or scared that we see your ugly mug??
