Thinking of changing from D'Addario 9's to 10's on my JS 1200...Not even sure if it's worth it yet for the tonal difference because all I've had on it have been 9's...Anybody have any experience with 10's on a JS 1000/JS 1200? Also, how do I know how much to adjust the truss rod after putting...

Looking for an early to mid 80's Ibanez Roadstar II. 83 or 84 a plus. Cosmetically, I don't care what it looks like - just need a straight neck with a good amount of fretwear left. Color doesn't matter. Dings and chips don't matter. It must have: Double humbuckers Rosewood FB Trem (but NOT a...

I was reading some of the "What Amp should I buy" or "What distortion pedal" topics and had a thought. How important is tone to some people and will you pay extra to get it? What I have seen is people will spend a lot on a guitar then run it through a crappy amp THEN buy another expensive...

A friend of mine did a "RG2228 REPLICA" from scratch! See video and pics here! Yep. If you don't know, the new RG2228 isn't available here in Brazil just yet. So, a friend of mine, LUCIANO MARCIANI did his own Custom RG2228 REPLICA! He is not a luthier,but knows exactly what he's doing!!! The...

Don't like dealing with Guitar Center, thanks.

For sale is a near new Jackson Dinky DK2M. Black body with maple neck and black shark tooth inlay. Guitar is in great shape. Straight neck, frets also in great condition. Low fast action. No tarnish on hardware, no buckle rash on back. Does have a few, and I mean very light scratches from...

I'll keep this short and simple... Ibanez Jem PBK in very good condition: - straight neck - frets have tons of life - no neck pocket cracks... Only couple small bumps and trem is Lo-Pro Edge... More pics per request. For trade... Well, musicman Petrucci, a nice Les Paul or a Strat... I'm...

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...

...on my RGA121. specifically the A and low E strings. i'll pluck the 3 highest strings and they hum slightly, making high clean licks with distortion impossible. i got it professionally set up, i don't think it was doing this before i got it set up for 10's...there's also slight fret buzz on...

Hi there, Not matter how much I adjust the bridge, I cannot achieve the action that I have in my JEM on my RG. JEM has Lo Pro and RG has Edge Pro. When I lower the bridge, high E string touches frets on upper frets. When high E string free from upper frets, I don’t like the action. Is there...

I just read somewhere, that the origional RGs had nek warpage problem since the neck is so thin. I like my necks uber straight no warps, because it allows for lower action. Anyways, I would liek to know more on this, because strangly I haven't heard any complaints about this with jems and old...

I'm not the foremost expert when it comes to 80's Ibanez guitars, due to the fact that when I was a kid back then I couldn't afford even a 550. :) But, I will take a stab at a review of the 20th RG-DY I have here that belongs to a friend of mine. My DY is on order with Rich and hopefully will...

Hello. I am looking for the Japan made RG7620 with the lo-pro and blaze 7s. I don't care about the color because I want to swirl it and I would prefer one with some paint chips as long as shes got a straight neck. Anyone got anything like that?

Ok, so I have 2 Fenders that I am thinking I want to sell. The first is a 1971 Strat, players condition, with the only major gotcha being a hole next to the trem, where a previous owner pulled an SRV and put a lefty trem on. The guitar has since been converted back to its original right handed...

Looking for a trade for this PRS Guitar. Collector value on these according to the book is 1500-1900 tho only yield thus far in 2006 1200-1600. 2007 will bring the market up on these as well. But as you know, the lower the serial number for number built plays HUGE a factor in PRS guitars. This...

I have two LTDs for sale. One is a bit of a fixer upper. The body has a few scratches, and the electronics need work, though it has a straight neck, clean frets, and (When its working) doesn't sound bad at all. Guitar is nearly identical to this... ...save for a DiMarzio Tone Zone in the...

You guys know the deal here....Great condition Ibanez Prestige RG3120 in Twilight Blue. Stock Dimarzios that sound great, Floyd that dives without missing a cent, straight neck with low action, and hardshell Ibanez case. You'd be hard pressed to find a better example or a better deal! $750...
