Hi folks, got a steal on a warmoth strat with custom flip-flop finish and I also got a free bonus neck with the deal, a pretty much brand new mighty mite birdseye maple neck. I've been debating as to whether or not I should swap necks (I'm used to rosewood fretboards but the birdseye maple one...

Hi, I'd love to get an Ibanez RGT3120/RGT3020/RG3120 with a maple fretboard so I was thinking about buying one of those models and taking it to a luthier to get the fretboard changed to maple. Anybody ever done something similar? I already have a RGT3020FMDS but it'd be great to get another...

I've got an 80s RG with the square neck joint. The frets has been giving me major buzz, and it just will not go away with truss adjustments alone. The best I can do with it is raise the action and play uncomfortably. But, I've got a good spare Ibanez Proline neck with an ebony fretboard. It's...

Send an email to [email protected] with the specs you would like to see in a future model. They are a great company that makes great guitars for 1/5 the price of their rivals! I sent an email with these specs: Superstrat / Soloist shape Alder body Solid color paint job (Neon...

Well I've not been on here for a long while! But after a little stint on the sevenstring.org forums I couldn't help but come over and see what's changed. Not much it seems! Anyways, I'm now a trained luthier and am in the process of setting up business under the name Dark Matter guitars. My...

I have just purchased a Prestige RGT220A with the EDGE pro tremolo system. I find it too loose and touchy compared to my old JS100. I often pick whilst holding the trem. bar and this is proving difficult with the new RG as I accidently cause pitch fluctuation as I pick. Also - even though the...

I am trying to decide afew things about scale lengths, Dont think Its posssible for me to find any 7 strings in my city that would have the scale lengths I wanna check out.. Only 25.5 (already have that anyways) Anyways, I do enjoy 25.5" but when tuned in A (D standard on a 6) I do find the low...

What do you prefer, a shorter width or a longer width on your nut. If you post please put the reason for you preference. So, say why you like it a certain way. 43mm VS 42mm VS 41mm.

I'm very interested in this 8 string!!! Can't find an awful lot of info on it though, Ibanez don't even list the factory tuning. I think it is a 7 string with an extra high string, but I really want an extra low one! Does anyone know if it would be possible to set it up for (low to high) F# B E...

Just won this on the 'bay. I've been curious over all the fanned-fret bru-ha-ha going around, and since I basically sold every last electric I owned to finance a wedding that's no longer happening I figured that I would treat myself. It's made by Michael Dolan. The body is mahogany and maple...

I have a chance to get an American strat on sale. My only 2 guitars now are both Ibanez - what do all you Ibanez guys think about strats?

Looking at the stuff coming out of 2007 NAMM - it looks like there's quite a few new extended range guitars being released. The new RG8 from Ibanez and i guess a couple J-Custom 7's? Rusty Cooley 7 and Razorback 7 from Dean, the Jeff Loomis sig from Schecter. Even a couple new Petrucci models...

Is it just me or do guitars with trems have better tone, more alive. RG's, Strats, PRS, Ernie Balls and others with trems seem to sound better to me. I'm sure there are exceptions, my fixed bridge RGA121 does sound really good, but I haven't played meny fixed bridges that sound grea

IMPORTANT NOTE - Patrick Sims NO RELATION to Martin Sims the builder of Vai's LED guitar The two just share a same background of guitar custom work and the same last name. Swirled this today to ultimately sell. I really like the colors, but not sure if the swirl is good enough. So my question...
