Re: How do I relic my poly finish strat? relic on poly really doesnt work that well. you can do some dings and dongs, some scrapes but sanding wont work. For an actual reliced look you have to go with nitro laquer. I have two pictures for you of my ibanez rg which is battered to hell and has...

Re: The 'post your Ibanez' thread Here are my two babies: a 99 RG505 and a RG721

Re: NGD, shreddy Jackson! yes, the 2 missing pickups are filled with wood and everything got a refinish. It turned out really good, It almost looks like it would come from the factory like that. Its got some cracking which looks cool in my opinion. All naturally aged of course. Having no neck...

I already posted this in another thread but I wanted to make my own. I just picked up this JDR 94 MIJ concept Jackson for very cheap (120€) locally. It is heavily modified, but I think pretty sick this way. The middle and neck pickups got removed (who needs those anyways? lol), the tone pot is...

Hi, I have an Ibanez RGA32 that I'm trying to put back together. It has active LZ3 Pickups, but they have 4 conductors. I couldnt find any wiring scheme. The green goes to the switch, so I'm assuming its the output. The red appears to go to the battery, the bare is obviously ground but what are...

Re: "Show Some Ibanez Love" Thread I had 3 Ibanez before, 1 with some bad neck pocket and the neck was seated really bad, and 2 with a lot of sharp fret ends. With a trade I got a RGA32. You can pick them up for under 200€ used here and this one certainly wipes the floor with guitars that are...

Hi everyone! I have a HSS Strat that I absolutely love, but the distorted tone isn't quite there yet.It sounds great clean and plays amazing. Alder Body Maple Neck Rosewood Fretboard I need a new humbucker. The current one is a standard humbucking from Fender, it sounds too thin for my taste...

Hi everyone, I'm at a loss. I've been searching for this issue for hours now and can't find a fix. It seems to be a ground issue. I have all grounds connected to the back of the volume pot just like its meant to be. It buzzes pretty loud, when I touch the jackplate it disappers. When I touch...

Re: Who's working on a build right now? Let's see your stuff! Just finished refinishing both of my strats - yellow is a squier bullet (first test) and red/orange is a fender hwy one... man the fender is the best guitar I've ever played. The color was bothering me, now its AWESOME!

Hi Guys, I've been on the look for THE guitar for me and I think I found it: the Jim Root Signature Stratocaster The only thing that keeps it from being perfect are the EMG's. I don't like them, actually I don't like any actives and I'm thinking about buying it and converting it to passive...

Re: Most eye-grabbing single colour for guitar apart from the obvious neon stuff I think swirl paintjobs can bevery attention grabbing too!

I have an HSS Strat and I absolutely love it. I play metal mostly and the neck singlecoil isn't really suited for it. Especially being a les paul dude, I prefer those fatter tones from the neck... I still like to hear a lot of attack for the solo's though. I love the atomic humbucker in the...

I've never been a Fender guy, always more into Gibson designs. I took my Epiphone Explorer to my tech and he showed me a strat he sells. So far the Epiphone I have is the best playing, feeling and sounding guitar I've ever owned (I owned Gibsons before) but this one tops it, and even though I...

Hi Guys! I have a problem and can't figure it out myself. I bought a 2nd hand explorer and it still is how I got it. The pickups are 496R and 500T, but the bridge position doesn't sound right, the neck position does. I took it to our practice space and when I played with gain and our usual...

Re: what did Santa bring you for Christmas? Santa didn't bring me anything but since I got a bonus on top of my Christmas bonus (because I'm doing my job pretty alright), I bought this mint '09 Epiphone Korina Flying V from ebay, very happy with it! I also traded a guitar and I think the trade...
