Hi all, I wanted to change the tone zone/true velvet/air norton combo in my Ibanez RG8570SP to a set of Evos. When I fitted them, it seemed as though everything would be wired the same from the instructions - is this the case? Should the new evos be wired in exactly the same fashion as the...

Hey everyone! I just uploaded the first video to my new YouTube channel, deemed Axe Hacks. I'll be focusing on guitar modifications and restorations, as well as gear demos and reviews. If you dig the idea, you can click HERE to subscribe! Anyway, the video! I go over the installation, tone...

Hello Jemsite, I am in a bit of a dilemma. I have an S320 guitar and i am about to buy myself a roland gr-20 with the gk-3 pickup. The space between the bridge and the bridge pickup is very tight and i am not sure if the pickup will fit. I have heard that you could chop a side of the pickup...

Hey guys, so I made this video a few nights ago on how to install guitar pickups. I do not go over any specific wiring configuration (you can look up the diagram to your specific guitar wiring), but I take a look at everything else you will encounter when installing new pickups. The install was...

I have a little problem. I purchased a Dimarzio Crunch Lab and I'm about to install it. The Cort X6 I install in has stock pickups yet, a volume knob, a tone knob push-pull(coil tap) and a 5-way selector (neck, neck coil&middle, middle, middle&bridge coil, bridge). It looks like this...

http://www.seymourduncan.com/forum/showthread.php?t=213411 Here's a thread on the Liberator where RichardFX has trouble fitting it into an RG. I've put one into my RG, and the demo video has a 1988 540SHH. You guys know to use a reamer to enlarge the potentiometer holes in your Ibanez' right...

Just got an RGA121 Prestige Natural finish. I've seen a lot of threads about installing EMGs but can't find any with links and pictures. Got a couple questions for you all who have already done what I am doing. 1. How did you deal with the 5 way switch. 2. How do you adjust the height of...

Hey guys, im very keen on getting a fernandes sustainer fsk-401, but just not too sure on the setup of it, i have a Ibanez S470DXQM with a H-S-H setup, now i want to install a sustainer, but what will happen to the other humbucker and single coil, can you wire them so you can use all three or is...

I am planning on installing a gk3 internal kit into my RG. The pickup ring gets in the way for an external one near the floyd but i wonder if its any different internally installed and if i can mount it near the floyd where it typically is where can i?

I haven't followed Ibanez much since the introduction of this trem and am thinking of installing one in a guitar I am building. From what I read on this forum, a direct swap with older Edge's isn't possible due to intonation problems. Or maybe I have this wrong. Was it ever determined if the...

I've just installed the green PAF Pro that I got off Homebake today. It's apparently out of a JEM (green pickup). We've assumed that it's a bridge one as the wiring on it was quite short, and there is an "F" printed on the back, along with V 1, and the Made in the USA DiMarzio bit. The wires...

Hi, so i got this Flower Pattern Body from an auction house, i have a Tremolo (Ibaneze Lo Pro Edge) and everything to install it, the Neck is going to be custom made and pickups are not yet purchased. So i wanted to know, i have got the Body and the Drillspots for the Anchors of the Tremolo...

Right. I'm nearing the end of the road with my project strat now. I think anyway. One of the last things I'm thinking of doing is replacing the current stock plastic nut with a Fender LSR roller. How much effort will this be to install? Is it doable for someone, like me, who isn't a tech?

Ok guys I'll start by saying I'm very new to this modding lark! I have an RG270 but wish to upgrade the pickups to give more power/tone/sustain etc. I have the pickups already (K.A. wpu's for the RG's HSH combi) and on recommendation elsewhere bought an Allparts 5-way 2-pole switch. Thinking I...
