    Ibanez RG7321 with Hipshot Fixed Bridge!

    Yeahh, as far as I know, this only works with the smaller profile hardtail fixed bridges. I believe the Gibraltar ones are a bit wider, which would leave noticeable holes that would require wood putty and you'd need to drill new ones to accommodate the bridge!

    Ibanez RG7321 with Hipshot Fixed Bridge!

    As for stripping the awful polyurethane finish, I used a cheap heat gun that I found at Lowes, but I know Walmart carries them for like, $20.00 or around there. Used the heat gun and a decent paint scraper and put it on high - but it was also outside during the winter - so I'd suggest medium...

    Ibanez RG7321 with Hipshot Fixed Bridge!

    Sorry for the late reply, fellas! Thanks for the love! I used the .175 plate height bridge which worked out perfectly with how high I set the saddles - which are INSANELY comfortable in contrast to the Ibanez stock saddles. I was actually super surprised how good it looked, especially because...

    Ibanez RG7321 with Hipshot Fixed Bridge!

    Actually, what I did was use this .PDF to compare my bridge to the Hipshot itself. Just convert all of your measurements to mm's. For me, I made sure to measure the string spacing of my current bridge and compare it to the Hipshot, which is nearly identical on the 7321, as well as the...

    Ibanez RG7321 with Hipshot Fixed Bridge!

    Thanks! I know the 7421's have a nearly identical fixed bridge, but I'm not 100% sure if their measurements are an exact match. I would see if you can find the dimensions of the 7321 bridge and compare it to yours. I know I've seen a few threads where people have off-handedly mentioned that they...

    Ibanez RG7321 with Hipshot Fixed Bridge!

    I actually used a Minwax Wood Finish stain! I believe it's Red Mahogany, but I did a few coats. As for the oil, I used TruOil, which I found at a local Bass Pro Shop. Thanks! I absolutely love how it turned out!

    Ibanez RG7321 with Hipshot Fixed Bridge!

    I know, I know, this topic has been discussed far too many times over several different threads, but I wasn't able to get an exact answer without speculation! I decided to go ahead and take the plunge after comparing my measurements of my older Ibanez fixed bridge and those of the Hipshot...

    RGA8 first refinish

    Don't feel too bad about the factory drilled pickup positioning; I actually ran into the same problem recently when replacing my stock Ibanez pickup with a Dimarzio Crunchlab 7. Keep the pictures coming!

    Available fixed bridges

    Thanks for the huge heads up about the Hipshots on eBay, I had been browsing the Hipshot site exclusively. Sporthitech.com also carries them for around $75.00 a pop too.

    RG7321 bridge

    Late response here, but Hipshot does make custom RG7321 bridges. You just have to call and specify. They aren't the smooth-edged bridges on their site, but instead direct replacements for the older stock hardtail bridges that come on the older RG7321. They were going to have to make one custom...

    NGD Ibanez RG7321 for $50 on CL

    Whaaat! That's an awesome deal! I thought I lucked out with mine for $150 through GC, but this is a definite steal. Anyways, HNGD!

    D'Addario/Planet Waves Customer Service

    First post here on SS and I wanted to share an experience with an awesome Planet Waves rep when finishing up my 7 string project! I've heard mixed reviews on Planet Waves Auto-Trim tuners, but after splurging and custom ordering a Hipshot bridge and a DiMarzio CrunchLab 7, my budget has been...
