Nae problem, first I am just another user of this site not an admin or moderator, I love my guitars though! Hope you find the forums usefull and you will meet like minded folk here though there does seem to be a bias towards Ibanez guitars for some reason,lol. I started here just recently when I hit a prob with a RG's tremelo arm, and I have to say that although I have met some interesting folk I still don't have an answer to my problem, I will work it out myself eventually. Enjoy your guitars, enjoy life and rock on.

Hi, my names Mike...i'm from Wales in the U.K.
I have 3 guitars at the mo...an SRV No.1 replica,a custom Jem and a Jem7vwh.
I make/customise guitars as a hobby...my SRV has a real fender srv neck,the bodies a nitro alder one which ive relic'ed.The custom Jem has an RG550 body which ive carved out flowers and vines (same as on the blue floral jem),the necks an original jem ebony one from 1993.
My Jem7v is from 1999,that has an ebony board too and its been pro fitted with a roland synth pickup and switches.

Hi All,
My name is Chris. I've been picking up my guitar and putting it down again for over twenty years. After recently helping form a band at work and seeing Steve Vai again it's made me determined to become a better player. I've been a fan of Ibanez guitars since discovering David Lee Roth and his impossibly talented band when I was about ten. I recently missed out on a PGM100re and then realised it was also being advertised here on Jemsite. I should have joined earlier! I have a habit of collecting guitars but then again there are worse habits...

Sunn Mustang
Maison
Vibracell Wild
Dean Dime-O-Flage
'Gibson' silverburst les paul - totally fake but I love it
G&L Tribute asat HB tele
Ibanez RG350RGM
Ibanez RG550RFR
Ibanez RG570PN

Currently eyeballing; JEM77FP, JEM777VBK, PGM100RE

Enough blah! Let's rock!!

Hello to everybody!

My name is Bernat. I'm from Mallorca, Spain. I've been playing guitar for more than 15 years and I love Ibanez since my first serious guitar was a FGM-100 guitars.

I've always loved Jem & Universe guitars, but I haven't one... For the moment... Sure it will change soon.

Hello all. My name is Mike and I currently own a Prestige 2620 slightly modded, a mid 70's Aria Les Paul copy with maple on maple, a Mex Strat with Glimour EMGs and a custom Warmoth Gecko 5 string bass. I am currently playing in an acoustic duo via my Breedlove acoustic. We go by the name Peanut Brothers and Jam. We cover rock, country and anything in between. I love Ibanez guitars, my first "real" guitar was an Ibanez Roadstar II in black with the 1 humbucker 2 single coil configuration all with the blade pickups. Was a beautiful guitar wish I had it today. I'm possibly looking for a deal on a late 70s early 80s Artist model to trade my 2620 towards, but more about that later. Great site and I look forward to browsing.

Hi All..
My name is stevie...
They say honesty is the best policy, so i'll say i'm just here to see if someone has a wiring diagram for a Ibanez Roadstar II...roughly 1984...the one Marty Mcfly plays in Back to the future 2...the Hotrails one...:roll:

I have done away with the hotrails and i'm just going to run this guitar with the neck and middle single coils only....
I have replaced the selector switch as the original gave up the ghost a while back..the trouble is, the selector switch is a different type of switch to the original..(Multi pole) as in, 8 lugs in a row with the two middle lugs connected and two lugs below that i take are for earthing purposes...:?:

I would be grateful if someone has a schematic or better still, pictures of the original wiring on this guitar that i could follow....The guitar has a Push/Pull Volume and one tone control...not sure about model number though RS 440 rings a bell....thanks..
Stevie..


Ps, the guitar has been lying in bits for 3-4 years....I Know, i shouldn't have taken it apart in the first place, but it was just one of those jobs you never seem to get round to.... :roll:

A PM would do...
