    Hi all, Long time Ibanez owner here, and I am working on upgrading and messing with my old 1984 Roadstar RS135. It's the SSS version, and I need a bit of advice with it. Currently has the stock pickups in the neck and middle position. Many years ago I replaced the bridge with a Duncan (can't...
  2. Pickups & wiring
    Hey everyone, I've got a two humbuckers and a 5-way switch and would love to get this kind of configuration out of the switch: Problem is, I can't find any wiring diagrams to get this done. Is this even possible? How would I go about doing this? Thanks!

    Coming back to guitars after a long hiatus, I managed to snag up a used Caparison TAT Special FM. Does anyone here happen to have one of those and could send me a pic of the original wiring (nothing anywhere inline it seems)? I am particularly looking for the neck pickup. The neck pickup had...

    Hi, I gigged my Ibanez 870 Premium for the first time last night and whilst it was great i found a significant drop in volume when selecting positions 2 and 4 (It's HSH configuration). So i was wondering if there was any way of rewiring it so the humbuckers don't "split" when selecting these...
  5. Pickups & wiring
    The '87 run of RG550-DY comes with V1 V2 and S1 pickups. I bought mine used and already upgraded but i was searching infos on the original pickups and i came across some headache On the catalog photos they have, one row of block poles, one row of slotted poles and No Logos, let's call it...
  6. Pickups & wiring
    I'm looking to do some modifications to my Jem Jr's pickups in order to achieve at least a somewhat similar tone to Steve's. I'm thinking about swapping the stock pickups with a Paf Pro for the neck and an Evolution 1/2 for the bridge of the guitar to match those of the pickups found in Steve's...

    Hey, I'm looking for opinions on replacement pickups. I've got a late 80's RG 760, and an RG 550. I used to have EMG's and thought they were great until one day, I played a friends Gibson V with a 500T in it running through my amp set up. It was a very noticeable difference in tone and feel...
  8. 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...
  9. Pickups & wiring
    Does anyone know where I can find a pink cover for my s1? I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find one that fits. I ordered some from Dimarzio but they didn’t fit. I’m going for the JEM 777 look and this is all I have missing.
  10. Pickups & wiring
    I recently purchased an RG560 and I want to replace the single-coil in the neck with a high gain single coil. I mostly use the EVO 1 in all of my Ibanez's shredders so I'm looking for something as close to that as I can find. I've read some good things about the Bare Knuckle Cobra and the...
  11. Pickups & wiring
    I have a stock Ibanez SV5470A S shape, mahogany body, rosewood board, non locking trem, 5 way switch with a push pull knob for coil splitting. I find the stock Ibanez True Duo Blast pickups are a bit bland and want to swap them out to something more suited for my taste. I play hard rock and...
  12. Ibanez JEM, UV, JS & Other Signature Models
    I've recently purchased a JEM 7V-WH and, although the Evolution pickups have their special character, I prefer the Suhr Doug Aldrich (currently installed on my RG550LTD) or the Dimarzio Gravity Storm (currently unused). The Evos have a kind of "crunch" or "grit" while the Aldrich and the GS are...

    Hey, looking for either an Air Norton in F space configuration, any color, and a decent single coil for my RG2770Z project. Lacks pickups and I have a TZ, already, just need the rest. Please include a shipping price to 60452. I will consider any other good neck and middle pickups as well, but AN...

    I have an Ibanez SF420FM. I'm interested in changing the pickups. Nothing is wrong with the ones in, I just want to step it up. I know little to nothing about pickups, I'm a very beginner but don't mind "spending up" for the future..within reason. I want the quality to be what "I will be" in...
  15. Pickups & wiring
    I'm considering the purchase of a guitar that apparently has these single coil pickups in it. Does anyone know anything about them? A Google search comes up blank, except to list a few guitars they were installed in. Thanks!
  16. Tech: Setup, Repairs and Mods
    I got a 92 RG550 in Candy Apple Red a few years ago, mainly because I always wanted one when I was a teenager. I didn't play it that much since I am more into straight ahead jazz, but I am in a fusion kick lately so I have been practicing this kind of stuff. So I decided to pull out the RG550...
  17. Pickups & wiring
    I need some help with a pick up configuration. I picked up a J Custom two years ago from a limited run. The RGA8420. I purchased some lace finger burners because I purchased the blue model. I have configured pick ups before but I have never seen this thing between the pots. I will show you...

    How do these two sets of pickups compare? I currently have an RG652AHM for E standard and I'm looking at getting an RGR652AHBF for drop C.
  20. All Other Guitars (including Prestige)
    I have an RG652AHM with the tone zone/air norton combo but I'm looking at getting an RGR652AHBF for drop C, and it has fusion edge pickups, similar to the indonesian iron and axion label and some other prestiges. Why does ibanez put fusion edges in some of the prestiges and some have the air...
