    truss rod on JP7 seems to be stuck

    thanks! yes, the JP7 has that wheel adjuster. I'll have a tech take a look at it.

    truss rod on JP7 seems to be stuck

    it seems the truss rod on my MusicMan JP7 is (almost) stuck, as it takes quite a bit of force to move it. I will eventually take it to a tech to have it checked out, but wanted to see if anybody here had similar issues and if so, was it remedied? is there a possible solution other than...

    RGD2127Z tuning and string gauge suggestions?

    Thank you. Yeah, maybe that's what I should try if I decide to stay in drop G. This whole drop tuning is still new to me and all my other 7 strings are in B standard.....

    RGD2127Z tuning and string gauge suggestions?

    Thanks! Maybe I will get a regulat 6-stirng set of 10-46 nd add something like a 64 for drop G. Do you have your either of your RGDs in a drop tuning?

    RGD2127Z tuning and string gauge suggestions?

    Thanks guys! I have played in drop G on this guitar with 010-059 for a few days now and actually I almost feel like I can get used to this, but I might try a thicker 7th string on next string change. Or maybe tune up the whole guitar by 1/2 step to drop Ab.

    RGD2127Z tuning and string gauge suggestions?

    Hi, I posted this also on some FB groups that I'm in and got some good answers, but I also wanted to aks over here: what tuning and string gauge do you use on your RGD2127 or other RGD 7-string with the 26.5" scale?? Mine came stock in A standard tuning with a set of 010-059 I believe. I just...

    NGD: Ibanez Apex 100 Classy yet Beastly

    oh YES! I have never played one of these, but I was close to buying one a few years ago when a dealer had one left in stock and sod it for a good price. for some reason I didn't buy it. I do regret that now. Those are among the best looking RG7s I have ever seen.

    Ibanez AZ24027-TFF Prestige

    those look awesome! I would so love to get one of these, but I know the position of the volume knob will be a problem for my picking hand.....

    Anchoring picking hand

    Like I mentioned in my earlier post that I don't anchor but my fingers still lightly 'rest' on/touch the body or the upper strings (when playing on the lower strings). To me that is the most relaxed right hand position. If I try to keep my fingers off without any contact it puts extra strain on...

    Help me find the best 7-string with a tremolo

    I'm a big fan of RG7s and JP7s. On the RGs the only thing that bothers me a bit is the volume pot that's getting in the way of my right hand, but it's an easy mod to remove the tone pot and move the volume there.

    Anchoring picking hand

    I don't really anchor but my fingers are relaxed and loosely curled in. And yes, the volume pot on an RG7 does get in the way of my picking hand, which is why I removed the tone pot and put the volume pot in the tone position on some of my RG7s. It's very easy to do, only minimal soldering...

    Fysical ability (limitation?)

    I think you should put all your focus during practicing on getting rid of the tension. Play as slowly as necessary so you can play relaxed without any tension on your arms, wrists, shoulders, back etc. This may be very slow but that's ok. I myself have been playing with a tensed up right arm for...

    Anyone tried the Headrush MX5?

    I haven't tried the MX15 but I have the HeadRush pedalboard. Last year there was this special deal where they offered the pedalboard with a free FRFR108 and I couldn't resist. I have been very happy with it so far, I like the sounds and how easy it is to use it. From what I understand the MX15...

    RG1527 Necks

    Very interesting to read this thread. I can't really help the OP as I'm not familiar with the 7620. I do have several RG1527s and and RG3272 and to me those necks all feel the same, it might be me but I barely feel any difference. Only thing that comes to mind is that one of my RG1527Ms has...
