So far, so good. The Epoxy seems to be holding it in place! I slathered the top of it with Epoxy as well, so it has a thick layer of stuff holding it in place. I let the epoxy dry for 48 hours before I even thought about putting strings on it.

Well, a few of the threads fell off. I was messing around with it a bit tonight, and some of the threads are still gripping, allowing me to screw it back into the wood. I got to work a few hours ago (yay for graveyard shift, ugh) and one of the milwrights brought me some clear epoxy that he...

In all reality, if it doesn't work, it won't be hard to reverse it. All I would need to do is use a drill press with a bit the same size of the hole and bore out any of the J-B weld that is left. Resale value doesn't mean much to me either, as I've never sold any instrument I've ever owned...

No, but it is my only ERG, and I have an album I'm recording that is sitting on the back burner until this is completely fixed.

UPDATE : Guitar is still not fixed, unfortunately. I went to every guitar shop in a 50 mile radius, none of which had a replacement part for the bridge anchor's hardwood thread insert. I called up Ibanez after getting the part number for the anchor thread insert for the 2011 edition of the...

So, I talked to an Ibanez rep over on the Ibanez forums, and he said the new thread inserts that would work amazingly are on order from Japan. Who knows when they will be in, or how I can go about ordering it online. He gave me a part number, but alas, I can't look it up through their parts...

Here is a cropped picture of me with my RGA8 (which is currently broken, grrrrr) from a much larger picture I'm using as the inside of the digipak pf my solo album once I get it finished. Besides the stupid bridge screw problems I've been having, I love this guitar to death!

I know, I know, I'm still kicking myself, hehe. I'll try and give them a call tomorrow morning. I work graves, and I'm a bit too tired to call anyone right now. I'm off to bed soon. Edit : Any clue where I can find a number to call? I can't find anything on their sites!

To make a long story short, I had the same issue everyone else has been having with the RGA8, the bridge anchor ripping out of the wood when adjusting the bridge. It wasn't just the tension, as I'm sure I bottomed out the allan screw, and it being pretty soft wood, it popped out, taking a chunk...

Conscious Dreams | What is Sleep This is the first real 8-string track that I've worked on since starting my solo project "What is Sleep". It is just a short demo of what is to come. I recorded it in Acid Pro (thinking about switching to Cubase) using my Pod XT Live for the guitars. I'm...

I'm in the process of finding the perfect set of strings for my Ibanez RGA8 8-String guitar. Besides the obvious differences in ball size and string length, is there any construction difference between the super slinky bass strings and 8-string slinky guitar strings, namely the 0.64 and 0.74...

I got a RGA8 a little less than a month ago from Musician's Friend, and the seating is ripping out of the wood on mine now. I'm really sad that it happened, and was very overcautious when it came to tightening that bolt when lowering my bridge, yet it didn't pop out of the wood a bit until I...

Just got my RGA8 from UPS today, loving it so far, but I've already ordered some EMG 808X pickups and I am going to need higher gauge strings. I've got the stock D'Addario strings on it now, and I want to play in the following tuning (lowest to highest): E-B-E-A-D-G-B-E What would be the best...
