    Ibanez EDR470 tremolo block

    Recently I've acquired a used Ibanez EDR470 6 string for a great price. All around awesome guitar, literally made for carcass riffs. But the only thing that is bothering me is the shitty import Lo-Trs-II tremolo. Which I don't even have the tremolo arm for. I've heard that the gotoh floyd is the...

    NCD (Sunn 4x12) need suggestions for speakers

    So yesterday I traded my Sunn beta 105H (1x15 with a horn) for this big boy. The cab itself is built like an absolute tank, but honestly I've never been a fan of the Sunn transducers. One of them already has some damage to the cone so I'm thinking about replacing all of them and was needing...

    What's the current status on Ibanez replacement bodies

    So I've decided to breath some new life into my old rg570. It was my favorite guitar for a long time, and was my main for my old band that would gig regularly for about ~4 years. Needless to say the body is pretty beat. Unfortunately it's sat neglected in it's case for a little over a year now...

    Rg7620 neck on an Rg7321 body? (Could it work or am I crazy)

    Thinking about getting back into the world of 7 strings on the cheap and this seems like the best way to go about it. I've been sitting on an rg7620 neck for a while. To me the neck is the most important part of a guitar (that can't be easily swapped out and replaced) and the 7620 neck should be...

    Ibanez LoZ7 pickups - Phase I or II?

    Howdy ya'll, I have been asked to help assist someone in getting Seymour Duncan blackouts for their 2010 RGA7. I have looked it up and they appear to use LoZ7 pickups and I wanted to check if anyone could advise me as to whether they are EMG sized, passive sized or that weird in between size...

    Ibanez RG8 and Hipshot Bridge?

    Hello all, I'm sorry if this is a recurring theme or thread in advance. I haven't been able to find sufficient information in all the research I have done. I have checked the RG8 Mod thread and a couple of bridge replacement threads, but none have had any specific answers to my question. I...

    Is it worth it to do this to an Ibanez?

    I'm looking forward to getting a guitar in the next few weeks. I really like the look of an Ibanez xiphos, and that 24th fret access and neck through design is super tempting. The only issue is that I'd like to be able to have a good tremolo that doesn't go out tune so easily, and the edge 3...

    Replacing an Edge 3 tremolo with a gotoh

    The edge 3 tremolo on my Ibanez rg350 finally failed after 3 years of intensive playing. It was literally falling apart. I love that guitar and would never part with it. Hence the new bridge. I was looking for replacement tremolo's for my edge 3 and found that a fair number of people were...

    Replacing Edge Zero II-7 with Original Floyd Rose 7

    Hey people! I've got a bit of an issue. I want to know whether the Edge Zero II-7 tremolo on an Indonesian Ibanez RG7420 can be replaced with an Original Floyd Rose 7 string or at least a Floyd Rose Special. I don't mind taking it to a luthier and doing some routing etc. Thanks in advance!

    Ibanez Replacement Bodies

    Hey all, I'm looking to find someone that's willing to cut/route/magic up a replacement body for me. I'm not looking for anything too crazy, but it looks like Area 51 isn't doing custom orders anymore and I'm not having a lot of luck finding an alternative. Anyone have any ideas?

    Ibanez Fixed Bridge Replacement

    Hey guys, I've been looking in to the RG321MH series recently for something of a project guitar. I have a similar bridge on my RG8 (albeit an 8-String version) and I'm not all too fond of it. Would a standard 6 string Hipshot fit in its place? or at least not have holes showing once installed? I...

    Replacing The Bridge on a LTD H208

    Hello So a few months ago I bought myself my first 8 string, an LTD H208. I actually tried both the 208 and 308 but preffered the 208 because it had an unfinished neck and in my opinion looks much better. The money I saved from getting the cheaper guitar I set aside to upgrade it in the...

    Neck Replacement

    I'm getting my RG7321 refinished pretty soon, but there is a dent in the neck. While it is extremely small and almost unnoticeable, I'd like to get it replaced for the sake of perfection. I went to Warmoth's website, but their necks aren't compatible with Ibanez. Is there anyone who knows of...

    Hipshot on an RG8?

    Has anyone done this? I hate the stock bridge and want to replace it really badly. I like gibraltar but there is absolutely nowhere to buy them, leaving me with the option of a Hipshot. Apparently Ibanez uses different measurements than a Hipshot is compatible with. Can anyone confirm?

    DeArmond S-67 Neck Replacement?

    I have a neck for this guitar but I wanted to see if anyone had found a neck that fits this guitar well that is a little wider up at the nut. Or maybe just one with a satin finish instead of gloss.
