basswood bodies

2 New Swirls...plus another These are owned by Forum members. They are Basswood bodies from Legacy. Dave

I am hell bent on getting me an Ibanez with a neck that has a profile true to the wizard/super wizard dimensions. In one of the other threads i have been informed that J-customs no longer really come with the dimensions that Ibanez advertises on their website. The neck should be 17mm at the...

Much as I love Jems/ UVs, i do need a change. Something more, well, middle aged... In terms of LPs/J Customs, I would welcome any views on what's hot and what's not for say less than £800 (used of course), Let me know what you think folks Ian

Hi all, These are 2 bodies ive been working on for the last 6 weeks. Im planning on putting them up for sale here for a week or so to see if any Jemsiters want first crack at them. Check the classifieds in a couple days.. Basswood bodies with Monkey Grip, Lions Claw Trem route, etc from Chris @...

Ok guys, If you have a Blaze 7, D-sonic 7, or D-activator 7. Or have tried all of them. Which do you prefer for a real tight low end crunch? Seems to me that all of them have a tight low end to them. So besides the scooped out mids in the Blaze what's the difference? I know that there have...

Hey! I know that there are lots of threads dealing with the 7-string-PU question. But this is quite different. I have two Ibanez basswood bodied RG7s. Both sound totally different when played unplugged. I discussed the basswood-qualtity-thing a lot and I am sure both are great qualtity basswood...

Greetings, I am trying to educate myself on the in and outs of pickups. In my rg7620, I am thinking of replacing the stock pickups. From what I can tell the guitar is made of Basswood. I read somewhere that the type of wood can determine what kind of pickup should be installed. Does that...

Hi guys I'm in love with my PAF Pro's and being a Dimarzio nut I would like to install something similar in a 7 string I will be getting soon. I've searched the Dimarzio site and they only have the standard PAF 7 string pups, not PAF Pro. Can anyone advise as to which Dimarzio closely...

I picked up a RG420 for a winter project, it will need new pickups. I have always use the Super Distortion/PAF Pro combo. I was thinking about trying the SD JB/59 combo. I don't know how this would sound best in the basswood body. I am looking for Warren DeMartini's sound. Warren's guitars had...

Dear Jemsite, I just signed up late last night after a member at Ibanez Forums.com referred me here. I used some of the documents on this website before for research, but it had never occurred to me just to join the forums in the first place. Il cut to the point to save your eyes some...

Hi guys. What would you say about any guitar out of the list??

Added Maxxas MX-2 FB to my Maxxas MX-3 today. It needs a proper cleaning & set-up and has few blemishes on the body...... but it's so cool to finally add her to my collection. ;-)

The one thing I'd really like to see from Ibanez is some new made in Japan Prestige S guitars. The current crop of Korean Prestige S guitars just don't seem to be as awesome as the ones made in Japan around 2000 to 2004. I would like to see a neck thru Prestige S with a lower profile version...

yes by that i mean it has the have smoothness u must really hear a note clear and must be very REAL. i allready own a rg2550,1570 and a universe but now i want an excellent sounding guitar. i was thinking about an RGA321?...

Are they pretty much inevitable for all guitars? I was considering a 20th 550DY, but I wouldn't want to get pocket cracks or whatever over time.

Some may not like them but I'm finding those F1s to be very versatile depending on how the pole pieces are raised. And obviously, the funky slot head pole pieces are not an issue as then can be changed out to other ibanez pup poles.

would evo's in a basswood rg sound good.

Hi Guys, I own 3 Ibanez RG styled guitars : RG570(Edge,EMG81), RGR570(LoPro,Tonezone), JEM7DBK(Edge Pro,Breeds). All Basswood bodies. pickups mentioned on the bridge. I've been thinking of replacing one with a mahogany-body for heavier and shreddy metal work since I heared an mahogany Iceman...

Hey, I've got an RG2550 and whilst the pickups are ok, I need more omph, and more clarity. I play metal, vai, classic rock, etc etc Kinda the whole chabang but mostly shred/metal. So I was thinking of putting an EVO in the bridge, keep my stock middle and then put a tone zone in the neck as...

Hey, Im seriously gassing for a RGT lately, planning on keeping it for my only 6 string... But I wanna know what choices of finishes there are for it.. Not many info on it anywhere, even searched forums here There are Quilted maple finishes right? Anyone have a pictures of all the finishes or...
