Hi All! So I've had my JS1200 for about 3 months now (purchased gently used from a guy here in the city who claims was the original owner) and have always noticed that there are two small, thin plastic shims under the neck which I never really wondered too much about. Then recently I picked up...

Hello! I took it out, made some basic setup, truss rod mainly + tightening the trem screws. It started with somewhat mixed feelings, - i liked the sound, - the feel, - the weight, - the balance, - the fretwork, - the strength of the neck (KTS titanium rods) - the harmonics but : 1) for...

Hi guys, First post, but I'm a bit of a 7-string Ibanez fan (I have four with another UV supposedly being delivered tomorrow...). Anyway, I just picked up a '97 UV7SBK (silver dot UV). The guitar has a full-pocket neck shim, maybe 1/16 think, that looks like it's brown ABS plastic. I...

Many Ibanez guitars do not have enough of a neck angle to allow big pull ups on the trem bar. The solution has been to put a little piece of something in the neck pocket before attaching the neck to the guitar. Ibanez even branded the factory shims they put in guitars. The image below is a neck...

Hi guys, Just picked up a JEM555 for a dirty price off of ebay. I've noticed the edge bridge has a lot of play in the trem arm compared to newer models (I'm basing this on 2 rg350s i've owned). I've seen you can buy proper bushes from ibanez, as well as other people online recommended using...

Hi Guys, I need to shim my guitar a little on the neck side, but my guitar has AANJ neck joint, and because that is curved on the edge side of the neck joint, this is the first time I need to shim in the neck side, because, all my other guitars always needed a little shim on the body side, so I...

Hey all, When I got my 540P-II it had a shim in the neck pocket which I removed. There seemed to be no problem, but I did notice that my trem had a tendency to pop out of the locking studs when the strings were loosened. Yesterday I started expecting it closer, and it seems that the trem is...

Hi (again!) The neck alignment on my RG1077xl seems a tad out with the low B a little too close to the edge of the fretboard. I've removed the neck and placed a shim in the neck pocket - AT THE SIDE, on the high E side. It has had the desired effect, but I'm a little worried about it because...

I have an OFR and I need to match it's 10" radius to the 400mm radius of my fingerboard. 400mm is approximately 15.748", and 10" is apprx 254mm. I have 12, .007"(.178mm) floyd shims from allparts. The challenge: How many shims do I put under each saddle?
