Hey mate, thanks for the compliments- the guitars I own are non-elitist (if there is such a category to begin with) models, largely appealing to me personally more than anything else. Yes, the BFG wooden knobs were done away with, so was the kill switch- didn't help me with anything. So I had a traditional 2 vol + 2 tone LP controls which work so well for me, I wouldn't want anything else.
I see you got some wicked, discontinued Ibanez guitars there. I regret not buying more of them back then... *sigh*
A kill switch would've been more practical as a tappable button, like on Buckethead's LP, rather than a toggle - too unwieldy for the stutter effects.
Yeah, I got onto these older Ibz a couple of years ago and love them. Everyone's crazy about RG550s and whatnot, so Roadstars fly under the radar; for the $$ they're among the best deals out there. I prefer them overwhelmingly because of the neck shape/finish (don't like Wizard profiles). Still gassing a bit for something in pink.
I notice you've got a 59/C in the RGD - pretty great pu, no?Originally posted by dominusYour rant would sound better with an A8 magnet, it'll beef it up some without sacrificing some of the whine.

Here are the pickups after Seymourization:
Neck: Jazz
Mid: QP staggered
Bridge: 59/Custom
I was happy with what the 59/Custom had to offer in that guitar so the RGD had to have it.Psychic Horns

Re: Seymourized
Still on the topic of Gibson, I bought the Tribute 50s Les Paul as seen above. Again, the default pickups are not my kinda pickups, so...
Neck: Jazz
Bridge: Distortion
I wanted a warm, contemporary clean & the Jazz is it (it's awesome with lots of drive, quite contrary to what the name suggests). The Distortion is my 'go-to' pickup if I have trouble deciding what might work.Psychic Horns

Re: Seymourized
It's a known fact that lego cows bring on more of a low-mid brown sound.Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

I screw the hardtail all the way down to the body, strings come into contact with the tune-o-matic bit as illustrated above.
So the wrapover stringing was problem-solving more than anything else. Someone in this forum (in another thread) told me off, saying this isn't necessary, if the tune-o bridge was lowered proportionately, no string contact would happen but for my case, the strings would jump off the saddles when I bend them, so the wrapover did it for me. I'm not trying to do a Bonamassa, chances are, I was already there before him.Psychic Horns

Re: Seymourized
Another Seymourized guitar...
Ibanez RG471...
Neck: '59
Middle: Classic Stack Plus
Bridge: Screamin' Demon
This was the initial ash body guitar that sounded awesome with a Demon in there. I had it replaced with a Distortion then a JB just to convince myself the Demon was it. So the Demon was re-installed & stayed put because it works. This prompted me to have the Demon in another ash body Ibanez which was already featured here- my FR420.Psychic Horns

I tried pushing the stopbar all the way to the body also, but I wasn't getting a useful difference out of it. I've read about the increased break angle improving sustain, but I didn't get significantly different results.
You have a very nice collection of guitars, by the way.
