It's my new message on this forum, so first of all, hi everybody. I have seen a jem 7v supposed to be Korean made (?) and I want to know your opinion about this. The seller says that the guitar has: - Edge Pro bridge - Evolution pickups in all positions - Fast neck - Made in Korea, bought in...

Hi there, After discovering how fragile the metal is on this bolt, I needed a replacement, after 2 attempts from Thomann where I bought it and a 2 month wait for them to get the part in stock, I removed my trem(with great difficulty I might add, using a flat screwdriver) to discover the edge...

I'm just about finished my next project and need some new pick ups. Where is the best place to get them from and i need them sending to Australia?

I have been playing 20 years - mostly blues/hard rock. I mainly play a strat but I was looking for a change from the standard Les Paul / Strat guitars. Which is a good JEM model for me to check out? Is there a $1500 model or are they all over $2K. Also - which non-Jem ibanez model compares...

Took some time off this weekend to make changes to my RG2550E - new smoked gray mirror pickguard, H-H pickup configuration, VLX91 super-switch and locking studs (which cost me an additional £11.50 in customs :/). Current pickups are Evo neck and Breed bridge, but I'm still looking for an Evo...

Hi everybody! Following RIch's tuning stability problems section , i streched all the strings and they now perfectly stay in tune when diving the bar. But they good a little sharp when Pulling the trem. SO i thoug it could be a Trem post Problem , because i haven't the locking studs mounted...

I am nearing the completion of my custom Ibanez guitar and need a black pickguard preferably 3ply but I need to find one that is in good condition or new in the U.K. Can any one suggest a supplier that can sell me one for about £10...................

I just bought a JS1200CA. Nearly new and almost mint. Came with an Ibanez MC100 guitar case. Does anybody know if the Ibanez cases with the red lining are available in the UK? Pete

yeah, sorry guys, but I just got an S520EX on a fantastic deal, the thing is, I HATE the inlay at the 12th fret, everything else is pretty much what I was after (fpr the price anyway..), I was just wondering, would it be possible to change necks without a whole lot of hassle and expense? where...

Okay, I'm getting a bit frustrated here... I've had my guitar refretted, but since the old frets were really worn, and it now has spanking new 6105 jumbo frets, there isn't enough clearance at the first fret. So I've been looking for locknut shims ever since. I want my guitar to be as good and...

Hey guys, My older brother has a 90 or 91 Universe UV7BK. He hasn't been using it for months. I, however, wanted to play it so I began getting ready to restring it. Unfortunately, the nut pad for the low B and E string was missing. I couldn't find it, so I took a pad from a nut I had lying...

I've been looking to buy a set of Bare Knuckles for a while now but for my first time trying them I don't want to spend the £190 or whatever on a new set because having never heard them in real life and having no way to try a set for myself I'd just be going by reviews for what they sound like...

Hello from Finland! I was wondering if here are others ibanez owners who have made scallopings to the fretboard? I did mine two years ago for my S 370, scalloped the whole board with very deep scallopings. It took me long time to get used to it, but now i don't wanna play guitar without...
