Gday all I won this ibanez body on the bay with a fun bit of artwork on it as you can see. I need someone to help with what I need to set it up for playing. I have a spare Rg550 DY neck with pyramid inlays being installed right now by ET-guitars, and I will buy Dimarzios, maybe in yellow...

Not talking golf either ! :P If you were building an Ibanez from scratch and you had any choice of wood for it, what wood would you use and why ? Is there something in it's tone that made you decide one way or another, is it for weight reasons, or... ?? Let me know what you'd do !

Hey everyone? I bought a custom built 7 string and it has Dimarzio pickups. It plays great and tone is off the charts. But here's my problem, any amount of gain I add creates a crazy amount of hum even from my humbuckers. I've followed the schematics listed on Dimarzio's site using the fender 5...

Hey everyone, I was at the local music store and came across a textured purple, HSH, Ibanez S-series with ZR Trem. Its on consignment and the guy wants $429 with HS case. I played it for about an hour and then looked closely, it doesn't have any apparent fret wear and no marks on the body. The...

Hi all, Anybody from Canada here having problems getting DiMarzio pickups? I ordered a DP188 Pro-Track for a replacement pickup on my strat from a local store. The guy checked with the distributor in Vancouver, they had some in stock. Was going to be 5 to 10 business days. Great! 3 weeks...

I'm in the process of evaluating my RG470s for upgrade to either better -performing 470s versus used 570s versus new 1570/2570s. I've spent some tech money ($125) on 470 tweaking. Then yesterday, I saw this scratched Warwick Alien acoustic bass that blew me away with its projection and other...

Just wondering if there are any Carvin fans in here? I think they make some of the best quality guitars and especially necks around. To this day my Bolt Plus guitar has the best playing/feeling neck i`ve ever seen. Any love for Carvin?

Hi, I am a new member from the Philippines. My name is Jolo, and I am entering my first year in college this June. In late December of the past year, I was able to purchase a brand new RG350EX from a local music store. It was my first locking tremolo guitar and I researched about the properties...

Can anyone point out where I can purchase a a truss adjustment tool for my 570. I've asked at all my local music stores and no one has them, or they've told me they don't know how to get them. Thanks, Danny

If this is in the wrong section please move it. So here is a thought I've been having... I really like buying amps, taking them home and tweaking/pushing them. It's just not the same at the store. Everyone blasting away with drop D power chords on rectos... just drives me crazy. Is it wrong...

I just sold my first ever guitar on the bay. Its an RG in a J-Craft case. I've never shipped a guitar and was wondering if any special precautions have to be taken. Can I just throw the case in a box or does something extra have to be done to the guitar in the case? Thanks.

Hey Jemsite! Well earlier this year i scored myself a very nice gibson studio with flame top for slightly over 1k CAD. It was a very nice axe, but i decided to put her up for sale, but i asked a lot for her that way it would discourage low ballers and find me some great serious offers...

Hi, I thought it would be interesting to have a thread that's entirely dedicated to overdrive and distortion, in which you can share info about which pedals you prefer and why, how you've managed to get the sound you searched through the use of your pedals, etc. etc. It might be a cool thread...

Hi all - I want to pick up a small tube amp for my apartment as i grow weary of my vox ad15. I need it for cleans; i'll use a pedal for any of the heavier stuff. So i'm looking at the following in terms of new/available amps: Epiphone Valve Special Peavey Royal 8 On the used market, looking...

Hey guys, Fender here. I was down at y local music store the other day and it occured to me that it had been forever since i played an S, but one of them caught my eye. It was a prestige model and i wasn`t really familiar with prestige S`s, or neither had i ever seen any. I walk into stores...
