    NDG: Ibanez APEX200

    NDG for me, not the guitar. APEX200. Saw Munky play this last year live and have wanted one since. Until the new model comes out this should just about complete my Korn sig guitars. Odd story, this one was originally sold by Rich as the NAMM '18 display. When I saw the SN I thought it looked...

    Taxes vs duties?

    Wasn't sure where else to post this question.. So this may sound dumb, but what is the difference in taxes and duties? I have ordered several guitars from overseas from individuals and business. Only when UPS is the carrier was I told I owe money. Seems sketchy. Anyway, I thougth the new law...

    SD Black Winters in K7

    Finally got the install done and I can say these things are a F@%ing BEAST! I have never had to tone down the gain and bass on my amp until I put these pups in. Only reason i am posting is to get others preference on amp settings. I'm at 3 'o clock gain and bass. Presence at 2 o'clock. I still...

    Loose screw in Amp MESA

    I swapped out my tubes a few weeks ago and noticed a screw hanging down. I haven't opened the amp yet since I have not worked on one before. I am sure I can tighten it up but wanted to see if there might be anything to be on the lookout for? Sound is OK, I get a small crackle here and there when...

    Constant hum after "rebuild"

    Continuing on my previous post about capacitor size...I got around to installing the new pots and pickups. This is for a RG7421. Only exception is I am using a 3-way switch (Alpha). So as the title goes, after doing all the wiring once plugged in it just hums constant. I followed the Ibanez...

    Capacitor's and physical size

    I am in the middle of doing a pickup swap and figured I would play around with some of the other components. Putting SD Black Winters in a K7 and putting the PAF-7 in a 7421. I have new pots so went ahead and orders new caps as well. I went with Orange drop .47uF for volume and stayed with 223...

    What pots for Ibanez

    I am thinking about swapping some of the old pots for my Ibanez. I have been getting some static lately and since I'm also swapping pickkups I figured pots are cheap enough to go ahead and do that as well. I remember reading a few years ago that the holes would need widening for most, but I...

    Seymour Duncan fit in Ibanez RG7421

    I picked up a pair of Black Winters awhile back and finally decided to install them. I soon realized the raised baseplate on the neck pickup would result in the strings laying directly on it. They were going to go in a RG7421. I'm guessing there is no way to modify the baseplate to get them to...
