    Jim Root Mod Questions

    Hey SS Team I'm looking for some guidance here: I'm hoping to grab a Jim Root signature Strat and plan on swapping out the EMG's out in favor of a Hum/Single set. From what I've seen, these are routed for HH pickups and, as-is, I should be able to throw a single coil in the neck position...

    Non-Music Mods and Restoration

    Hey All, Given how many of us are handy at modifying our guitars, I figured some of you must be just as good at modifying everything else in your life. I don't care if it's refinishing cabinets or just painting your phone case, lets see what you've got!

    Getting the word out about my new business?

    Hey everyone, First off, please let me know if this isn't allowed here. After years of working in music stores as a tech and doing refinishing work in my spare time, I decided to go all-in on my refin work and started my own business, specializing in refins and modifications. I have my usual...

    The Kramer Vanguard Project

    Hello there! I got myself a 2nd Kramer Vanguard from eBay. It had a broken headstock once but it got repaired but the crack is still more than visible and simply looks like shit:D It also got some dings on the neck. Since it's a bolt-on and I love maple fretboards, it will get a full...

    Wondering what to mod next on my ARZ-307

    I have been really happy with this guitar. Got it back in June 2012. Had the pickups replaced on purchase with the Liquifire and CrunchLab. They sound fantastic. The guitar is still in very good condition in my estimation so I would like to do some more modifications. I am thinking either...

    Need a bit of advice on Ibanez bridges

    Right, so I’ve got this guitar, an RG7321, and for the most part I love it, except the pickups which are getting binned and replaced as soon as it’s convenient, but while playing it I’m struggling to get along with the bridge, I was expecting it to have the basic flat hardtail style but, alas...

    Bad-axe to Badass? - Modding my cheap 7 string [Pictures]

    Hey everyone, first poster here. Around last February I've bought my first 7 string, being a Cort Solo 7 for around 190$, which I was pretty happy with knowing that it's kinda impossible to get hold of 7 strings in Hungary, unless you have enough money to afford a newly imported Ibanez and...

    Installing tailpiece on a string-through guitar?

    Hi. The title says it all really. Is this a really bad idea, or doable? :scratch: I've got a Chapman ML2 (single cut style guitar), and it's got your kind of traditional string through construction through a tonepros bridge. I realise there's gonna be some routing in this project, and I also...

    Pedal Gurus, I need Help - Wah in the Rack

    I'm starting to rack mount my pedals and the problem of the Wah pedal struck me (I don't want to run signal to the front, all contained in the rack next to the amp). As a rack Cry Baby is expensive, my question is simple (and perhaps a million dollar idea :D): Would it be possible to get...

    Repairing bad routing job for EMG 707!

    Hey guys, first post so I apologise if it's in the wrong thread. Long story short, just got a bargain 7 string to use as a project guitar which will be stripped down to the wood, veneered etc. However, first job is fixing a pickup cavity which someone crudely chiseled away at to fit an EMG...

    Is this possible/worth the trouble?

    So, this is the situation: I have the hardtail Jeff Loomis signature 7 string (the older version, with EMG 707's), and I've always regretted not being able to get the Floyd Rose version. A new JL sig is $1600 these days, so I was thinking I could just buy a Floyd, along with new pickups to match...

    Cleaning / Modding and old gcb 95. Strange issue.

    Hi. I am new to the forum, however I shan't do introductions here. I mention this only because I don't know if I'm posting in the right area as most people seem to be starting threads re pickups. However the sub forum description did read "hardware, tech" and I'd consider this a techie...

    First 7 string RG 7421 Mod ideas and string gauges

    So I got an RG 7421 for free and I'm pretty excited. I mainly want to experiment with mods. I'm already going to put blackouts in to replace the pickups but I'm looking for some other ideas on cool mods. Also what do you guys think of drop e tuning on seven strings? Anyone tried it? Thoughts?

    Would appreciate some tips for fixing up this Schecter Omen 7

    Hey there! First post on sevenstring, thought this would be a good place to ask. I bought a used Schecter Omen 7 for a minuscule price, simply because it's visually a damn wreck. So, I have some plans for it, but I haven't really delved into this kind of modification before, so I could use any...

    SR370 Modding!

    Well after starting my other thread, regardless of the color choosing, which I'll probably decide down the line, this is something that's gonna happen. So I figured I'd start this thread to document the happenings. I'm gonna start modding my Douglas SR370, starting with a refinish. Will begin...
