As most of you know I've been looking for a Ibanez RG770DX. Well I haven't found one but I came across an excellent condition '92 770 at music go round outside of Pittsburgh. Called the guy today who sent me some pics and he said it was put on the floor last night. I couldn't pass it up great...

Hi all, I have a hard decision and its running like crazy in my mind. Im trying to choose my FIRST DiMarzio 3 pickup selection and I would like a lil help if possible, Gear: Ibanez RG1570 Laney Twin Combo Zoom Gt9.2tt Pedal Influences and Want to Sound Like: Dream Theater Paul Gilbert Satriani...

I usually keep my forum adventures exclusive of eachother, but I'm looking for as much feedback as possible on this. So here it is: I scored myself an RGA121 with a natural finish from guitar center the other day for 450 bucks. I had been playing this guitar on and off for like 2-3 years but...

Hey Guys, I was just wondering if any of u guys tried the Fred/Paf Pro combo on a Jem before? Whats your opinions? I've found my tone with this combo on my JS1000 & am curious how the Jem will take to them... Thanks Dave Ireland

Howdy fellow Jemsiters :) Lately i've been unhappy with the tone in 3 of my guitars, so i'm going to do a pickup swap, and I was interested to hear what other people think about my pickup choices. I have a Charvel Fusion Custom, which is 24.75 scale with basswood body, floyd bridge and bolt on...

Hey all about 5 years ago I bought a white RG550 w/maple neck, i installed a tonezone in the bridge and paf pro but it didnt do much for me, anyways here is how she looked then well over time the frets got bad and the neck warped bad, i mucked around with it but couldnt fix it, i took the...

I picked up a RG420 for a winter project, it will need new pickups. I have always use the Super Distortion/PAF Pro combo. I was thinking about trying the SD JB/59 combo. I don't know how this would sound best in the basswood body. I am looking for Warren DeMartini's sound. Warren's guitars had...

Hi all, I'm getting sick of my JB Jr in the middle position (between TZ and PafPro) of my 570EX. It is "weaker" in volume, and not as defined as I would like it to be. Would like to know ANY opinions on a humbucking Dimarzio strat sized pickup. I'm currently looking for opinions specifically...

I picked up a used and MINT RG3120TW off "that" site a few weeks back and OMG it is sweet. The neck, action, tone, and sustain is off the charts. I like it so much I am selling my RGT220A to Gear GAS. I think Jemsite contributes to G.A.S. ;) Here are a few pics

possible prestige acquiring(update w pix) anyone who frequents e.b.ay, perhaps you can help me out here.. well, im a bit strapped for cash, and a friend of mine knows a guy who owns a prestige. the exact model number im not sure, but the guy i know, sold it originally to the current owner. he...

I had a guy repair my guitar a while back. He claimed the pickups were all wired funny and that he re-wired them to what he claimed was "normal". Well now my guitar sounds like absolute crap. He owns a guitar repair shop but there is no way in hell I'm going back to him. I am good with...

Any Idea what he used when with Mr. Big? When or what songs did he use a super distortion?

Just got a 1570 and have been a long time user of strats, Les Pauls, etc. I used to dismiss these guitars somewhat, but now I can see why Gilbert, Vai, and Satch make these their weapon of choice. I have read where people have had quality issues on the newer prestige RGs. Mine is an '07 and I...

I know there are a couple of RG550 20th threads already running but they are huge so I thought I would start one to discuss the pickups specifically. I am interested in peoples opinions of the stock pups. I got my DY and RFR on Sunday, after playing around for a couple of days I decided the...

Hello, Planning on swapping out the stock pickups in an Ibanez S470 (thin-body mahogany w/trem). I've narrowed down the selection to one of two Dimarzio combos (bridge/neck): Either ToneZone/AirNorton or Breed/Breed. Help me out guys, anybody try these combos or have experiences to share...

hello... i was wondering if any of you guys have tried the evo2 and evo neck combo and liked it? i'm building a custom RG and was thinking of trying this combination out. The body wood is alder by the way. thanks..

ok so.... I think i already asked this question about pickups before, but here it is again. I done a bit more research and alottt of people are saying PAF Pro for the neck, but then there's people who say that the Norton is good too so.... 1. Which neck pickup Norton or PAF Pro?? 2. for the...

...what would it be? What would it look like? Hardware? Colours? Photoshops are a must in this thread. Cheers.

Hey all, Havn't posted here for a while, but I need some advice for a set of new pick-ups for my LP ( Sorry, I know theres loads of these threads ). It's a standard LP with a mahogany body. I play blues mostly, but dirty blues ala SRV, but I'm not looking for his sound if you know what...
