    F/S: S7420 with upgrades (EMG's, Lo Pro)

    For sale: Ibanez S7420. Upgraded to Lo Pro Edge7 bridge. EMG 707's in bridge and neck. Bridge is blocked and no trem bar was provided by previous owner. Neck is super thin; much thinner than my other S7420. The guitar has some wear on the back and edges. I bought this guitar from SS.org...

    Ibanez Andy Timmons (AT300) vs S2170 Prestige

    Thanks for the review Pablo and for everyone else's input. Does anyone know how either the Wilkinson or the SAT Pro compares to a PRS trem? I have a Custom 22 and that's the only point of reference I have. Thanks.

    Ibanez Andy Timmons (AT300) vs S2170 Prestige

    I have an opportunity to buy either one. I've tried the S2170 before and liked it, but have never tried an AT300. Anybody have experience with both or at least some with experience with the AT300? Thanks.

    VHT Pittbull UL Thoughts/Photos

    Steve Fryette specifically used the KT88's because of their big bottom end and tons of headroom. The saturation of hard-driven KT88/6550-style tube is not very pleasant sounding and would require a hotplate or an amp to be turned up at deafening volumes. Push the Master Volume on your UL past...

    VHT Pittbull UL Thoughts/Photos

    The UL is a 3-channel KT88 based amp. It has no power amp saturation and sounds very "tight" or "dry" as some put it. For a good example, go to http://www.daveweiner.com/ and listen to the clips in the "Media" section. Take note that Dave Weiner uses cabs with V30's so the sound is "woofier"...

    How much does an ESP custom shop ACTUALLY cost?

    I tried ordering an ESP Eclipse 7 custom over a year ago and spoke to one of the ESP guys directly that deals with the custom shop in Japan. He said that any custom guitar starts at $2000, and it's automatically $3000 for any 7 string; that doesn't included cost of features or paintjob. My...

    Custom S7's?

    Are there any builders (like EKG or Chris Woods) that can make custom S7's? There's a few that can make RG7's and UV7's, but I haven't heard anything about S7's.

    NEW S7 Info 2006

    I'm getting it at cost since I'm a manager at the store. Not trying to be a jerk, but I really can't say since I'm paying below MSRP. Even if I told you the store I work at, we are not ordering any more Ibanez' for awhile. Sorry...

    I put in my order for the S-7320 today at the music store I work at. I should have it in about a week or so. I'll post up some pics when I get it.

    Paint Solution for Ibby?

    Fine, it doesn't have to be black, but there is no way that I am keeping it that color.

    Paint Solution for Ibby?

    I was recently given an Ibanez Roadstar that has a hot pink finish. It's quite disgusting. The guitar is in good condition and the neck feels great, so I want to fix it up as a backup guitar. Without spending too much money, no more than maybe $150, I would like to have this repainted...

    NEW S7 Info 2006

    I'm gonna order one of these as soon as they become available around here; my first S7. I doubt I'll keep the stock pickups though. What replacement passive pickups have you guys found to work well with the S7's?

    Ibanez UV77BK woth an EMG in Bridge

    Yngwie, how did you get the EMG's in the UV? Every tech I'd bring my UV777BK to would refuse to do it because they'd have to drill into the body wood.

    Help me identify this Ibanez!!!

    I work at a small music store, and somebody brought in for repair a type of Ibanez that I've never seen before. The guitar does not display any sort of model. The odd thing about this guitar is that it is somewhat shaped like an RG but the cutaways aren't as sharp and the neck has only 22...

    How did you start playing 7-strings?

    For me, it was a combination of Dream Theater's Awake, Steve Vai's Passion and Warfare, and Fear Factory's Demanufacture (even though Dino used a six tuned down) that influenced me to play a seven. I bought it from Sam Ash in 1998, my senior year of high school, and I instantly became the...

    Maxon OD808 vs. Fulltone OCD

    I don't have experience with the Maxon 0D808 but I own an Analogman TS-9 which is somewhat comparable. I also own the OCD. If you are looking for a boost, stay with the Tubescreamer series. The OCD was mainly designed to push older style amps that get need to get saturated from the power amp...

    Line 6 HD147 head

    I've been using the HD147 for about 2 1/2 years now. It's a very versitle and reliable amp, however, I've found that most of the amp choices are unusable in that they don't sound good. I personally use the 5150, the JCM800 Silver Jubilee, Fender Twin, and occationally the Cornford settings. I...

    I tried a VHT Pitbull Ultra-Lead Head today!

    I tried out the UL a few years ago at a rehearsal studio. I really couldn't get a good sound out of the UL. It sounded really brittle. I found out later that if you want the amp to sound full, you gotta turn the master volume to about 1 o'clock and control the volume via the channel volumes...
