I love my Ibanez RG1570 to a point I'm considering getting a second one and doing some surgery in it: like adding some upper fret bevels like a kiesel. You might ask: why do you need MORE access than Ibanez? Yeah. I could use a quarter inch more to reach the 24th fret on certain songs (I'm...

I love some sounding board from this forum. Thanks. I know he is capable of refinishing the body and making it look good at least paint-wise, but I think you're right - the back scoop is so deep that trying to do a front one has a big risk of looking very ridiculous. I guess that means I'll...

I love my Charvel DK24,.. so much that I already got really nice pickups for her. One thing I wish it had is just a little more fret access clearance. Just a bit more. I was thinking about sending this one to a very reputable tech (GMW in Glendora , CA) to do it. He has done some pretty serious...

Yep 100%. ESP/E-II surfed the wave of crazy high demand and adjusted the prices to maximize profits. I don't blame them... but 50-80% higher prices doesn't mean (to me) 50-80% higher quality. I love ESP guitar and have owned multiple, but I'm not paying $2600 on an M-II MIJ brand new. I'll wait...

+1 I think SOME E-IIs now come with stainless... but I'm always amazed how most LTDs have more modern specs... like - Compound fretboard on LTDs vs straight 12" on E-II - Most LTDs 1000 have SS frets vs lots of E-II still have nickel - EXTRA thin U neck shape on LTDs (vs E-II thin U... and...

alright I put some higher output pickups (a pair of Suhr Aldrich). I immediately felt that it got a more direct pick response on the neck position. I'm happy @shalev98732

Yeah maybe haha Hey, random question for you... do you also believe that it is possible to make a Floyd Rose special stay in tune as well as other bridges by just swapping the saddles? Sounds too good to be true!

haha maybe, but here is the deal: a gentleman sold me a 3-year old Ibanez. Prestige, with the original edge bridge. Should stay in tune, right? After setting it up, giving it new strings, springs, etc... it wouldn't stay in tune. After closer inspection, the knife edges were worn out. How can...

There is a discussion on another forum saying the Gotoh 1996 posts have a different "geometry" compared to the floyd rose ones. It might fit but ideally you would use gotoh post with gotoh bridges. It might "fit" but given different shapes, it might ruin the knife edges and/or posts over time ...

are you the guy who sold me this guitar? hahahah this is the guitar I plan to install the activators. And it came setup with Drop C from the previous owner a couple of weeks ago

Anyone has worked with Dean at DC Guitars could share their experience? I do already have a scalloped guitar (which I bought like that)... I feel 100% ready to get one of my Ibanez prestiges scalloped. I promised myself I'd get this green one scalloped if I liked the refret job on her...

Hey y'all! So I have an unopened set of Dimarzio D-activators (regular, non-X)... I'm debating whether to open this set and install on my ibanez prestige or get something else. In general, I like super high output pickups. I loved the EMGs 81/61 on my ESP, the fishman moderns on my ibz...

OG ESP vs Jackson USA vs Ibanez Prestige are too different ... I wouldn't compare them side by side because they're have completely different neck profiles. I've owned all 3 brands in their flagship form (ESP MIJ, Jackson USA and Ibz prestige) and prefer the Ibanez prestige, but I prefer it...

I'm pretty adaptable to different neck profiles, from Gibson's 50s (0.90-1.00) to Ibanez Wizard profile. I am pretty happy with the first Musikraft I gt, but the second one was quite uncomfortable to play because I gives no support to the thumb. Generally the C ones I have are a little...

I'm searching for my "the one" Here are a few recent ones that I currently own and are close to be my "the one" - Charvel DK24 -- Pros: Great neck, great ergonomics. -- Cons: No SS frets, but I am already working on that. If this turns out to be good, it might be my "the one" - Ibanez RG652...

At least on paper, the caparison horus has everything I need on a shred guitar. Looks ergonomic, 2 humbuckers. Great... but a question mark is whether I would like this stock pickup. 2 important questions: - how does this thing sound? Does it sound like a humbucker or not? I watched some YT...

I keep buying Ibanez RG for the same reason hahahah Everything is in the place I expect to be. Sure I could move the volume knob a bit more, but it doesn't get in the way like in my old jackson. I could buy an RG1570 again, but I'm trying to see if I can diversify a bit. I actually just saw a...

I came across an ESP M-II standard series similar to this one, ... coming from Ibanez guitars, I'm a little concerned about the volume knob position of this ESP... Would this one bother me? Anyone knows? (I can't try before buying... the closest MIJ ESP guitar to me is 1,000 miles away) A few...

I think I read that the Gotoh 1996 is larger than the cavity of the Edge Pro, so I don't want to get into this :)

I'm a longitme ibanez user and never had to replace the Edge Pro on my RG1570 even after nearly 18 years... but I regrettably sold that one. Now I have the chance to buy another one, but the owner already told me he beat the crap out of that guitar and I am confident it will need a tremolo...
