I need a Gold Chrome pickup ring to place around my seven string Seymour Duncan SH-6 on a flat body ibanez - does anyone know where i could buy one in the UK or the USA? Cheers

I tried to fit an SH-6 (7 string) to my RG7420 and due to the L shaped legs and the pole screw sticking too far through the bottom pick up the SH-6 stands too high in the solid body and the strings rest on the pickup (the pick up actually pushes the strings upward). Can i be able to cut the tips...

Hi I've got a Boss Super Shifter and i was using it today and all of a sudden the gain dropped by half - still distorted but half the gain - i tried the RG550 directly into the amp and the sound was fine - is the pedal goosed or is there a simple way to solve this problem - i use a one spot...

I put a thread on a few weeks ago asking for a decent pick up for my ibanez 7 string in the bridge position - on reply said the duncan distorion is the way to go ( i've got a JB Trembucker in my RG550 and want something similar but with a little more gain and plenty mid range) - so i researched...

I've got a Ibanez RG7620 7 string and want to get a pick up that'll get my sound in the region of Zakk Wylde, as i've always used SD pickups i'd prefer to stay away from the EMG actives unless thats the only way - is the 7 string SD invader an option? Cheers Colin

I need help finding a decent 7 string seymour duncan pick up for my Ibanez - i have a JB Trembucker in my 6 string RG - so i'm looking for a similar sound for the seven string but a little heavier but still keeping the full rounded lead tone the JB gets on my six string - any ideas? Cheers Colin

Just a quick question - what kind of sound will the new blackouts give to a 7 string ibanez? Is is harsh (as in treble overkill) or do they give plenty mid - a bit like Zakk Wylde's sound - any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Colin

Hi Just curious if Seymour Duncan do pick ups for seven string guitars, i have a six string Ibanez RG550 with a JB at the bridge and a GL at the neck and was wondering if they do make 7 string pick ups which would be the best ones the fit into my ibanez RG 7620 with a similar sound to my six...

Hi I own a pre 90's Ibanez RG570 and the trem is almost kapput! Should i buy an original Floyd Rose or keep with Ibanez and buy the edge or lo pro edge? Cheers Colin

Stuck in the UK, i was just wondering if anyone has heard any whispers of some Van Halen UK dates - i last saw Van Halen with Diamond Dave at Donington in 1984, i've been on the internet dozens of time and can't seem to find anything and i hope they'll be visiting our shores in the near future!

I've got a wicked sound on both of my semour duncan pup's but i notice that the lower strings tend to overpower the lighter strings when i'm playing chords or picking separate strings while using a 'non muted open chord' - will altering the height of the pup's help to solve this or possibly...

I've got a slight problem with wiring - i'm wiring 2 seymour duncan pick ups into a 'wirless' RG550 - i've bought a 3 way selector and i'm a little cofused at the 8 connections at the base of the 3 way switch - i'm new to wiring and the seymour duncan wiring diagram looks easy to follow but it...
