My Ibanez manual was wrong. I called to ask them about it, and they confirmed that it was printed wrong.

The RGIR27FE was my first 7 (still my only 7 at the moment). Really like the guitar, but didn't like the stock string gauges at all. I like medium tension, and for me they weren't even good for standard tuning. So it depends on what kind of tension you like, really.

Pretty broke at the moment trying to pay for a wedding out of my own pocket. But I gave a small donation.

Wasn't a fan of reggae by choice. But it's all my fiance listens to, and it just started to grow on me. Really like bands like Rebelution, Tribal Seeds, Mike Pinto Band, B-Side Players, Fear Nuttin Band, Rootz Underground, SOJA.

Gravity Picks: sunrise/standard/polished/3mm has become my favorite pick.

I replaced my 707 with the 81-7 and did the 18v mod. Night and day difference. I have an Iron label 6 and 7. The frets on the 7 were pretty much perfect. The 6 on the other hand had some sharp ends and needed some minor leveling here and there. But with some easy to find tools and about...

An attenuator may be a better option. But the MXR in the loop of my amp still allows play with my master turned up to 2-3 instead of 1-1.5. And when I turn the volume control back up on the MXR, I notice no difference in tone, only volume.

I use the volume control on the MXR to drop the overall volume down. This lets you turn the master volume up higher on the amp and retain that tone.

:agreed: It has nothing to do with low volume, but I would also change out the speaker and tubes asap as well. I swapped the speaker for a WGS HM75, and put TAD 6L6GC-STR power tubes and Electro-Harmonix 12AX7 preamp's and the amp sounds 10x better now. Way more useable mid range and the...

On my 25.5" Ibanez I use a 11-73 set from Circle K Strings. Works good for both drop G and G#.

Regardless of any statistics, there are a lot of sick people in this world. And a lot of them get enjoyment out of hurting others for no good reason. I really don't think there's anything wrong with preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. My friends 75 year old grandmother was just...

This seems to be my biggest problem. I don't have too much trouble writing catchy sounding riffs. But putting them together to form a song is something I always struggle with. Only been playing for a little over a year though, so I take it for what it is and continue practicing.

Yeah, his metal rhythm and lead books are pretty dated. But the info you can get from fretboard mastery is still good.

Hal Leonard Fretboard Mastery is really good. I'm still slowly working my way through it. Hal Leonard Fretboard Mastery Book with CD: Troy Stetina: 9780793597895: Amazon.com: Books

Just put 2 TAD 6L6GC-STR power tubes and a WGS HM75 speaker in mine. Made the tone a little darker and the bass response WAY better. Huge improvement overall. Definitely not a light amp by any means, but still manageable.

Custom 7 set for $12 and free shipping? I'll definitely give them a try. Thanks for sharing. :metal:

Sunrise standard 3mm master finish is my favorite. Got a v-pick screamer the other day, and it's really nice too. Has a little more punch and a slightly smoother attack than the Sunrise. Could probably get the same sound out of a polished 3mm Sunrise though.

I agree with others on the SD 805. Picked one last night and I like it more than both the MXR GT-OD and the Green Rhino.

On my Ibanez 25.5" scale the Elixir skinny top, heavy bottom set, plus an Elixir .068 was perfect tension for me in drop A. Just depends on how much tension you like though.
