  1. Pickups & wiring
    I bought an older Ibanez "V1" and banked it for the right project. I finally went to use it and it was no good. Of course it is way too late to contact the seller about it! So, it goes. Looking for another one, I found one on ebay with an "IBZ V1" stamp instead of the "V1" stamp like the one I...

    hello everyone, I own a Jem 777 30th anniversary DY, which I love until I plug it in my amp (Victory V40). For some reasons I really don't like how the pickups matches my other gear. I was wondering about replacing them with another DiMarzio set, ideally something with less output, closer to...

    Does anyone have any information on "Vintage" pickup used on the 1987 RG410/420/440 I've got a 1987 RG440. I like the bridge pickup, but I have been unable to find any information on it. It is simply labelled "Vintage" in metallic lettering. From what I can tell this was only used on the RG410...
  5. Pickups & wiring
    Hey all, I'm replacing the pots and pickup selector switch in my RG550 since they're starting to go, and I'm wondering what type of 5 way switch I can or should use? Is a standard Fender 5 way compatible with HSH wiring or do I need to buy the special Ibanez one? And will a fender switch fit on...
  6. Pickups & wiring
    Hi guys, Dimarzio gurus, I'm into extreme metal and I'm use to select pickups that usually have a high resistance. Just bought a Japanese B.C. Rich from the mid 90s and this Dimarzio pickup was in it (I doubt it's the original pup as they originally came with BCR pickups)...

    Hello Everyone, A few months back, I bought a second hand Ibanez S5470F (Red Viking). I'm still really amazed by this guitar's playability, and the only bad thing I can say about it is it could have more sustain, but this can easily be solved using pedals and it is to be expected with an Ibanez...

  9. Pickups & wiring
    Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations for a middle pickup for a basswood RG550? I am running a Dimarzio ToneZone in the bridge and Evolution in the neck, since I often seek out Vai and Gilbert tones. I've done extensive research and am torn between three different...

    I need help identifying a pickup set. The wiring colors are red, white, blue, black and bare. So, I have to assume they are Ibanez, but the only marking on the brass colored bottom plates are a R and F stamp. Oh and there are slugs on both the north and south (no adjustable pole pieces). I have...

    I'm trying to get the wiring correct to install a set of SD pickups in my RG920QM (H/H). I found the color codes and made the swaps doing the install, Red=Black; Black=White; White=Red; Green/Bare=Green/Bare, and after installing I got zero sound. I'm using the original hardware with the cor-tek...

    I just bought the guitar below, a 2003 Ibanez SA160 (for $180!!!!) and am really digging the single coil in the neck. According to the Ibanez wikia it is a Axis Single 2 (AS2) which the catalog describes as "Traditional sounding single coil pickup with increased output." and is ceramic. I have...
  14. Ibanez JEM, UV, JS & Other Signature Models
    I just bought my first Jem and I love the way it feels and plays but I think there may be a problem with the neck pick up. It's output seems to be about half of what the other two pick ups are. When I select either the fourth or fifth position on the five position switch the volume and drive...
  15. Pickups & wiring
    Hi all, I'm trying to decide which pickups I'd like in a Daemoness build that I have coming up in 2017. The issue I am having is that there are aspects of the different pickups I own that I like, which I wish I could combine, and a whole host of pickups I'd never tried. With the ability to try...

    Hi Everyone, My UV is a little under the weather... See the neck pickup? I can't raise it on the right side. Seems to be stripped enough so after a few turns of the height adjustment screw the spring pushes it back to the bottom. So what do I do now?

    Hello all. I'm going to state this here & now: I'm pretty much new to guitar. I've wanted to play pretty much my whole life as my dad is a musician, but anyway; onward. I just got my first guitar, an RG270. My goal as of now is to practice up enough to be able to bash out some Buzzsaw Swedish...
