Been looking to get a new guitar. Would you recommend an ESP USA or the Japan made ones? Or even a LTD?

Re: Super Switch Wiring Help Alright here goes: Both red and white wires are going to Lug A3. Again, if something doesn't seem right or straight up doesn't work, hit me up. Credits to BriGuy1968 for doing most of the diagram. If you wire it up and find positions 2 and 4 to be...

What capacitors and resistors would you guys recommend for a treble bleed circuit? This is going in a HH Jackson with a basswood body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, and neck-thru construction. The p'ups are a Jazz neck and Screamin' Demon bridge. The tone cap is 0.022uF. I'm not sure if...

Re: Coil Split Issues? Ok, both p'ups went negative on their own, but in middle position, neck didn't decrease at all while the bridge barely did. So how did I mess up the wiring here?

I just wired my HH Jackson to split to the inner coils, but when I switch to the middle position, the volume is significantly decreased. The split p'ups sound fine on their own. I have a Screamin' Demon in the neck, so the fillister screws are being used in split mode, rather than the slugs...

I've been listening to Polyphia lately, and I'm wondering how they're getting that single-coil-esque tone from HH Ibanez's. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-6j3kqh0Sw I've tried that riff with a Classic Stack in my Strat, too much high end, doesn't sound close. Position 4 with the...

Title says it all. I've found that the extreme angle from the nut to the tuning pegs makes for really bad string binding and tuning issues on my Jackson PS-2. I'll turn the peg one full revolution and the pitch won't budge, then another nanometer, and the string's a full half-step up. I'm just...

Re: NGD: Jackson Mania Sorry for the crap picture quality. As you see, no serial number.... But I'm happy with it! The gloss neck is surprisingly tolerable, for me, who usually can't stand them. (The LTD Les Paul copies are another exception.) I noticed the trem posts have pressed into...

I just picked up this black SLX on Craigslist today, and I absolutely love it. Got it for $300, seller was very amenable, put up with my constant emailing and badgering, overall very satisfied. But I noticed that it doesn't have a serial number. Is this a known issue? Also, it came with a Full...

Title says it all. My Ibanez S470 is my favorite to play out of the bunch, but it's finished in this barf-green sparkle. I'm thinking of staining it brown then spraying clear coat on. Anyone with experience willing to share some knowledge? Whether to scrape or sand the finish off, how to spray...

Hey all, does anyone know how to wire Position 3 to activate both inner coils of the humbuckers in a HSH configuration? Thanks.

Hey all, I've just replaced the Floyd Rose Special on my Ibanez with a Gotoh Floyd Rose. It's a massive improvement, and I'm really impressed with the quality and craftsmanship gone into this piece. Yet I find it amusing that I've just replaced an aftermarket part with another aftermarket part...

Hey all, recently I've installed the Gotoh Floyd Rose in my Ibanez. It came with its own posts, but I felt too inept at woodworking/lutherie that I just left the old ones in. Now the problem is that the post on the treble side has deformed the wood so much that it's leaning towards the...

The Pro-Mod DK 24 HSH has a pretty cool wiring scheme: 1: Bridge 2: Inner Bridge Coil + Middle 3: Inner Bridge Coil + Inner Neck Coil 4: Outer Neck Coil + Middle 5: Neck Surprisingly enough, I already wired my Ibanez like this except for the 3rd position. Do you guys have any experience with...

Title explains it all. I have this Player Stratocaster neck and it needs some fret work. Which tools do I need? How do I go about this? Thanks. Sent from my LG-TP260 using Tapatalk
