    Is there a reason why all the hardtail guitars (Gibraltar II etc...) come with 10s? Do Ibanez just presume that if we don't want a trem we play heavy rhythm or is there a more technical reason? I know 10s work better on shorter scale guitars because of the lower tuning tension but I can't figure...

    Hi all, Ok, I did a search, but I couldn't find the answer I was looking for... I recently bought an RG750 that has 10s for the string guage. I want to go down to 9s. This guitar has the original Edge trem installed. Right now the set up is fantastic- stays in tune all up the neck- what...

    Ok so I bought the Fernandes Sustainer Kit Fsk-401 and I figured that it would be set up just like Vai's FLO after its installed. But instead.. the Luthier came up with the idea of making a custom pickguard to hide some route work.. I was kind of Erie about the idea.. But I figured he knew...

    I just found out about the Tremolo-No and I've got a couple questions for those who have used it on an RG. When installed, can you treat your guitar just like a real hard tail? Can you take the locking nut off at the neck and not have the screws in? I just bought my first hard tail a couple...

    Hope this is in the right section. I've got a strange problem with my RG560. I recently got it set up with 9s in standard E tuning, but wanted to try 10s. I didn't like the thicker feel of them on this guitar, or the tighter feeling of the trem, so I switched back to 9s. (I did adjust the...

    HI this could help you out. I had some big problems with my whammy after pull downs and pull ups. IT wouldn't come back in zero position and in tune. I tried blue steel, fender, GHS, D'addario etc strings, nothing helped. First i tried 09-42 all brands. Then i tried 010-46 all brand.. still...

    Mmk, well not long ago i bought a jem7v. At the time, it was a huge decision between it and pgm301. I think i can play better on the pgm, but the jem had the trem, and i need a trem. Ive got it for about a week, until i take it back to the shop to have it properly set up (they couldnt do it...

    Hello All, Are either of these guitars suitable for a beginner? One of the reasons I am looking at either is that that have quite thin necks. I already have a Gibson Studio, but the neck is too thick and the guitar is way too heavy

    That's right. Actually it's in the True Temperament shop right now. I will recieve it on monday! It's a -88 JEM7RB, the pickguard will be changed to a KICKASS piece of rosewood with true temperament-frets and abalone dot-inlays. Aaah, I can barely wait! Why have I done this? Well, first of...

    To all you Ovation owners out there: I bought a used 1862 Custom Balladeer about 6 years ago. It was manufactured in 1988. It was in superb condition, with no neck warps or scratches or anything. The action was always a little high for me, but my guitar duties were on rhythm, so I didn't...

    http://zacharyguitars.com/040705pics.htm What do you think? Looks like a monster! Probably in every aspect. Take a look at the neck. Seems really thick. Here are some videos too http://zacharyguitars.com/040705_01.wmv http://zacharyguitars.com/040705_02.wmv Too bad there's no distortion in...

    I recently bought a RG2620QM and I found the action was a bit too high, more than 3 mm at the last fret. I tried to lower the trem but the lower string started to buzz right away. I figured I had to give the neck some relief so I began adjusting the truss rod. After just two 1/16th turns I found...

    Okay, I rec'd an RG550 that's been stored without strings for a few years. I've read the instructions here, http://www.jemsite.com/tech/3other.htm#removestrings, as well as a number of similarly related things from Ibanezrules. Any other tips or advice ?? When I tried to correct the angle of...

Seriously though Conklin will build you a gorgeous eight string with a Custom Trem which would be three times the guitar this RG will be...
