    Can I use a metal brick instead of my bridge as my electrical ground?

    Hey, so I'm building a djentstick out of a 2 by 4. Yeah, I know, I'm hopping on this trend about seven years too late, but whatever. Anyway, I planned nearly everything out, except for one problem. The way I have arranged the parts and cavities means that it will be difficult or impossible for...

    Ibanez GRG 7221M Soldering Help

    Great feeling guitar but poorly constructed. First the nut fell off after 2 days of play. Then while playing for some friends, I was adjusting the volume knob and it literally grabbed, tangled and snapped all of my wiring simultaneously. I have the necessary tools to solder this back but...

    Losing my mind over wiring

    Hello friends. maybe somebody can help me with this. I had a H S sH (stock pups and a painkiller in the bridge) setup in my Dellinger. I wasn´t enjoying the Painkiller and changed it for a Dimarzio Dominion which I installed just fine using a color correlation chart I found online. Guitar...

    Recommended LA tech for lundgren M7 setup?

    Hi guys, I know this is super specific, but I just moved to LA and have a 7 year old Ibanez RG7321 with a Lundgren M7 in the bridge slot, and ehhhh it needs some TLC. I installed the pickup and then got a tech friend who does jazz guitars to do the soldering, and he tossed the Swedish...

    General Guitar Rewiring

    Hey all, So I'm rewiring my RGA121 and there are some things I want to know. I want to get more of the exact same wires used as jumpers and for the hots/grounds in the original circuit. From what I can tell it's UL style 1007 AWM wiring, but I can only find it in bulk sizes and from...

    Surface mount soldering by hand

    Just put a new IC in my presonus firebox, someone had blown the firewire conversion IC. This was a real pain in the arse to solder.

    Need Help installing Blaze 7 Pickups In Rg7321

    I finally got my Blaze pickup set in. I un-soldered all my pickups out of my 7, went to put the Blaze 7 Bridge in, and the holes don't match. What should I do about this? Would it make a difference if the pickup isn't under the string like it would be with the stock pickups? Or do I need to fill...

    Help With Electronics

    I'm going to be gutting out my 7 string as soon as I get her in the mail, and I want to get new 500k pots (Unless 250k would be a better choice), change the 5 way switch to a 3 way, and get a set of Dimarzio Blaze pickups put in. I looked online at the install sheet for the Dimarzio Blaze...

    Soldering on to pots failure

    How on earth do you get wires to stick on to potentiometer casings? I've lightly sanded the back, put solder on first, tinned the wire, added more solder, let it cool and then made ape-like noises when it immediately lifts back off again :pissed: . This keeps happening over and over so I'm sure...
