ok, here's the deal. i've got this ibanez
rg570 in nickel grey (i think) made in 1999 in fugijen but it has a few problems:
the neck has a very small (about 1cm) crack in the typical location (between nut bolts under the nut). it seems fine for the moment and i don't think i'll do anything unless it gets worse.
the tone knob needs to be rewired onto it's pot.
it needs a new jack (already got one coming).
the pickups squeal (apparently it's because of the loose input jack, pups will be replaced eventually anyway).
but the biggest issue is that both the
trem post holes are pretty ovalled and both posts can rock pretty freely if you just move em with your fingers. and when the guitar is all strung up, the posts are visually crooked, even when locked down.
i know there are lots of threads about this, and i've read a lot of them and i've narrowed down some options.
i've come across some options of epoxy (don't know much about it), wood filler, wood patch (???).
basically, i've gathered you don't fill in the whole hole, just the ovalled bit and then redrill?
basically, what tools and items would i need to make this work? i can't find anything on ibanezrules.come about it.
edit: also, how do i take out the threads in the trem posts?
