    Ibanez RGD7421 NGD/MOD Project

    So after years of wanting, waiting and ogling the Ibanez RGD range I FINALLY managed to pick up one up basically for nothing. I say that because the asking price was $400AUD. I had an Ibanez ARZ307 that was simply sitting there not being played anymore because I found the body to small for me...

    Bassist, recently acquired seven string guitar... Help!

    I recently acquired a Jackson seven string guitar, with a 26.5in scale. I'm wondering what string gauges would be best for this scale length, for standard low B tuning. I might experiment with drop G#/Ab tuning, as well. What string gauges are recommended for these tunings with this scale length?

    How different is a 28 5/8 scale from a 26.5 inch scale?

    The guitar I have now has a 26.5 inch scale. I really like a 10-52 set for the 1st 6. I've tried 9-46 and hated them, no balls and too loose. I have my eyes on agile 828 but I've never played one with this scale. I plan on starting off with 9-46 because I know 10-52 would be overkill. Will a...

    Anyone know what gauges Jeff Loomis used on "This Godless Endeavor"

    I've heard he's gone between using 10-52+70 and 9-46+66 etc. I've always thought he was using 10-70 for this era but a 70 seems a lil heavy for Bb on a 26.5 inch scale. Anyone know for sure? I love the riffage on this record and this has been on my mind for quite some time.

    26.5 scale 6 string buying advise.

    Hey yall, I'm new to the threads, and I'm desperate.:bowdown: I've looked all over the web, and I simply CANNOT find a 26.5 scale 6 string guitar (I mostly play 7 string, but LOVE the 26.5 scale) other than the RGD series. I'm not a big fan of Ibanez guitars, BUT I would be willing to buy...

    First build! (Ibanez/Blackmachine content)

    So I had this guitar neck laying around screaming for a build and I wanted to do this for a long time. I planned on making a destroyer axe but I just don't think it's a shape that I'll love forever. I love the looks of an ibanez and a black machine. So It was on to the drawing board: Let...
