    The Ibanez U Bar

    I find the U Bar is great for extra big bends. By bending the string and getting proactive with the U bar i find its pretty doable to get a smooth bend of at least a 5th. Obviously this is also possible with a regular whammy, but I find it a lot more intuitive to just hit the U bar with the...

    Several months later than planed i finally got this project finished! A big thanks t @odibrom for the help with the pickguard. When i eventually got it back from the lazer cutting place I had to make a few adjustments with a hacksaw and some sandpaper (400 grit then polish!) to get it to fit...

    DiMarzio D-Activaor 7-String Bridge Pickup (UK)

    I just took this out of my K7 string. Sounds great, particularly with distortion. I have gone back to the OG PAF in the neck though. Am based in the UK, Brexit seems to have made sending things abroad kinda complicated, so would rather sell to someone in the Uk to avoid any hassle! Pickup is...

    Custom 7 string ibanez pick guards?

    I ended up deciding to scale things back even more and just do a single pickup with single volume knob design. I made this so far using the Perle template.

    Custom 7 string ibanez pick guards?

    Does anyone happen to have a template for the universe pickguard? Unfortunately the Perle one doesn't include the outer edges of the design, so is not that helpful for creating a master file to send to a local lazer cutter.

    Custom 7 string ibanez pick guards?

    Thanks for the links guys! Much appreciated I did, but im much better with wood working than i am with painting and finishing, plus im a bit colour blind so figured that my chances of success going the pickguard route were higher :D I also like how the apex 200 looks with a pickguard so...

    Custom 7 string ibanez pick guards?

    Hey guys, I want to buy a pickguard for my K7. Someone in the past had modded it considerably and drilled a few holes for extra knobs, i want to set it up with the original configuration of one volume, two humbuckers and a 3 way selector, so thought i could get a pickguard cut to cover all the...
