Re: How to fit a SD into a Ibanez RG

Hmm... which is worth more and loses more value when modified... An Ibanez Prestige or a Duncan pickup.....

Which mod is easier to do: by far the baseplates.

I

if the route is done professionally the guitar will not loss a penny of value
many ibanez players out there will actually be more into buying the axe IF it will accept any pup they want to put in it:banana:

I think you are correct if he is swapping pups all the time. The one you put on the picture came out nice.

yes that guitar is worth more since the mod:smokin:

In that regard Ibanez collectors may be different from just about everybody else, I dunno......

But from the perspective of the standard 90% of players / collectors ( not in a band, not really interested in different pickups and stuff, essentially just plays in the bedroom for fun / to dream, may not even play at all), mods devalue any axe, because they´d prefer them stock.

The mod is small, yes, and makes it easier for someone to swap to any pickups they want.... but the guitar is no longer 100% original, and to the average buyer that matters more than most would expect
