I switched the EMGs in my LTD to DMZs, but I have a couple issues. First, all I got was hiss, so I stupidly cut the jumper wire on the 3-way, which I pointed to with a screw driver. I'm hoping that's the only thing wrong there, but I took another close up if anyone can tell me what's wrong...

I pulled the EMGs out of my LTD and put in a Dimarzio Evo Bridge and PAF Pro, after wiring it up I plugged it into my amp before closing everything up, all I got was hiss, I tapped the allen heads with a screw driver and I didn't get anything back in all 3 positions. I'm setting it up as 2...

I'm trying to take the EMGs out of my LTD and replace them with a DiMarzio Evolution Bridge and PAF Pro. So far taking everything out has been successful and I managed to solder up the output jack. Among the problems is, I'm installing DiMarzios based on a Seymour Duncan Wiring Diagram(I do...

I'm looking to switch my LTD over from EMGs to passives. I'm pretty much looking to only play metal with it, so I'm looking for a neck pickup that's slightly hotter. I won't be wiring a tone pot, so I'm not sure how the DD Neck model will compare with the bridge model, does it have a similar...

Picked up this RG7321 for $250 on Ebay, plays nice but could use some new pickups. The neck is so thin, it plays like a dream. The strings are pretty dead, and the intonation needed some fixing. This is my first 7 string, feels different to play, and it's my first Ibanez RG, so it'll take time...

I have an almost 2 year old Jackson JS30RRFR I bought for $400 in February 2010. For that time it's been sitting in its case, I probably played it 20 times in the last 2 years of having it. I put a set of EMGs in it, and my uncle bought me the hard-shell case for my birthday. The guitar and case...

I'm trying to get some unbiased information here, so bear with me. :nervous: For the past few months I've been vigorously looking at and playing guitars, and almost everyday finding a new guitar and saying "I WANT THAT!" I'm trying to hold my need for a new guitar down so I can gain some money...

I was looking at some old Charvel bodies on Ebay, and noticed that most are routed for Floyds, and have 2 holes under the bridge pickup. It made me wonder if I could put a Wrap Around style bridge into those 2 screw holes and take the Floyd out. I want to put this...

I've been thinking about some new pickups for my guitar-to-be. Both of the guitars I'm currently looking at come with a JB/59 which will be going into my Epi SG. I tried finding some info on the X2N, being an EMG player for the past couple years, I want something with similar our higher output...

I made a thread earlier about replacing a JB in alder, after putting some money together and doing research on some different guitars, I found what I'm specifically what I'm looking for would be easier to accomplish from buying parts from Warmoth and assembling a guitar myself.(Also the guitar I...

It's getting to that time of the year where my wallet expands itself by a good $1200, or this case ~$2000 if I manage to sell a couple of my guitars. I'm looking for a new guitar that will do, pretty much everything for under $1000, so I can use the rest to arrange a few pedals. My eyes are...

I'm getting a Jackson KE3 Kelly for my birthday, and I was messing around with it(the KE3 is my aunt's) and I didn't really like the sound of the JB in alder. It was too thin, but I liked the output. I'm considering getting the TB-6 for it, but the only demos I can find comparing the 2 have the...

The title of this thread is pretty straight forward. I've been an amateur "self taught" bass player for 3 years now. What I can do on a bass is based off of my 5 years of playing the guitar. 3 years ago my parents bought me an Ibanez GSR-200 which, still plays amazingly to this day, but for...

I have a few questions regarding Floyd Roses, before I start, I will mention that I have 2 types, an ESP LTD Floyd Rose Special, on my LTD M-300FM, and Jackson Licensed Floyd Rose which is on my Jackson JS30RR FR, and when I get it around Christmas time the Jackson Licensed Floyd Rose on my...

My first guitar I got around 99 when I was 4, although I didn't start actually playing till 2006, I decided to take it out of the closet tonight and found this... :banghead: Anyone know what kind of strings I need to get for it? The strings seem to be looped around the bridge. Oh and of...
