Just got this one today from Craigslist.......love that Craigslist!! A 92' Frank Gambale in blue. This one, aside from needing a fret polish and string change, as well as the truss and spring cavity covers, is in tremendous shape. The only other minor issue is the volume and tone pots are...

1990 PWH with one chip on the headstock, I think one thing somewhere else (a small chip) and a chip inside the spring cavity from where the previous owner tried to put a spring back on, which you cannot see. Comes in excellent condition pink lined case. The trem has only very very slight...

Well you might have seen my thread about this one. I just got it a couple of days ago, and I guess I'm one of those people who prefer the older 550's. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice guitar, but to me at least they're not the same as the old school ones. As I've got a deal in place for a...

Just got this today, crazy story about how I landed this one. I bought 3 project 570's about a month or so ago. They were way more than I wanted to tackle as it turned out. So I'm sitting there with these 3 guitars, knowing I probably screwed up. I put them up on a few boards and a member here...

It seems there are three types... Pin Large Clamp Small Clamp. If you look here... http://tremolno.com/workswith.asp For an Ibanez double edge pro - youan see they're recommending a small camp, but then there's a footnote which says this... "3. On certain Ibanez® Edge™, LoPro™, EdgePro™ and...

I'm putting together a guitar with a recessed floyd with lion's claw, and I have a pair of locking studs & inserts that I want to use. The holes in the body for the inserts are drilled deep enough so that the insert fits almost, but not entirely, into the hole, like so: When I screwed the...

wanted to post this earlier but here are some pics of my S5470 which I got a month and a half ago. Upgraded the pups to a D-Activator neck + D-Activator X bridge + Ibanez C2 middle. Anyhow, enjoy the pix :) mmm... coffee and creme... no string (holder) attached... comin' at ya! Manta...

I have recently switched from using fixed-bridge guitars to a double-locking edge-pro system.. I've just bought an RG2570E and have come across a slight problem with "unison bends".. say for example I'm bending the E note on the G string (fret 9) upto an F# (fret 11), and playing an F# (fret 7)...

overall the guitar is in good shape . there is one scratch as you can see in the pics . It is a great guitar for anyone looking to get into the 7 string world cheap. It even comes with a dimarzio d-sonic 7. 115 shipped in the US. you can see that there is a hair line scratch running from...

Just playing my PRS SE Custom (and yeah yeah, it's Korean) which is has a fantastic neck, really nice looks and plays fantastic. The tuners are crap, but I'm going to buy some lockers soon and some new pickups because the ones that are in aren't to my liking... IF I can get over this minor (but...

Well since I got my Jem in last December I've noticed that occasionally it squeaks when I pick it up [when its laying on the pickup face, flat on my knees]. I've did fix it for a while by tightening one of the screws but now I took off the neck and no matter where I screw in and in which order...

Here is a 1999 Ibanez RG7420 7-string electric in excellent condition. Ibanez calls the finish magenta crush, but it's really a metallic light red. The guitar is made in Japan, in Ibanez's Fujigen plant, as you can see from the serial number pic below (a serial number starting with "F" means...

After being on this site for many years and never thought of owning a Jem, I am now a proud owner of an '89 JEM777VBK (since I didn't win a JEM7VBK on the last contest :P). Scored it from a guy who lives < 5 miles (@ 8km)from me on friday. We met up half-way on thursday so I could check out the...

Ahoy Gilbert fans! How far would you go to have a Telesavales? My name is Tye and I thought I would share a some photos of a project I thought you might be interested in. Shortly after deciding to really focus on my playing I did the modern day thing and searched YouTube for some free...

So i was bored for about ten mintues. so i thought id take apart my Chibanez Jem and see what made it so bad. im including pics so enjoy. Here is a picture of the body with the pickgaurd removed and the pups have been taken off the gaurd but since i dont have a soldering iron i cant remove them...

I'd like to get some opinions on this. I've owned at least 20-25 Ibanez guitars over the years. Mostly RG models but I also had a JEM and a JPM model for a while. Now I realize that Team J Craft is a specialized group of Ibanez's most experienced builders and the VAST majority of their guitars...

How would I be able to tell the difference between an older Rg550DY and the reissue? I found one at a pawn shop for $349 and I put a deposit on it (of course). I have to be descrete about these things so my wife doesn't found out, so I can't just put it on a card. I should have it in a few...

So I've got a question - you've got one trem set up with 3 springs, then 4, and 5 - with the same tuning, total spring tension etc. - when you use the trem, would the one with 5 springs be harder to use than the one with three springs. I was thinking about it for a bit, and was like "hmmm...

check Ibanez Japan website for 2008 Prestiges. Finally white RG !!

Hi, i'm newbie here. I recently bought an used RG390 in resonably good condition. The spec from 1998 Ibanez catalog shows that this guitar body is made of Resoncast which is some kind of compressed wood chips & resin. But when i brought to my friend who's a guitar tech for testing he indicated...
