    Where can I buy a Floyd Rose bridge that ISN'T a complete POS with terrible quality? 😡

    So, to begin with, what you see is a blue Agile Interceptor Pro, and an Ibanez RG170 that I restomodded (I Floyd Rose swapped the RG, the Agile is 100% stock except for the pickups). Initially, they were very reliable guitars, but both of them have started to have this problem where their...

    StringKing - String Gauge Calculator

    Google Play Hey all, A while back I released an alpha version of an Android app to calculate string tension based on your criteria (string type, scale, note, etc..). My ambition is to make it as intuitive as possible, and in time abstract the "science" behind it away as much as possible and...

    9 string multiscale kahler issue

    I'm having my Agile 9 string multiscale setup and the tech and I are stumped. The high E string (and High b to some extent) aren't making contact with the roller, and instead are resting on the multiscale extenders of the kahler. We can't seem to raise the roller up without drastically changing...

    8-String string gauge

    Hi all, I typically tune to EBEADGBE, and I've been experimenting with a .90 on the low E. I love the snappier tension, but I'm getting a lot of rattle at the bridge and nut and it sounds noticeably less bright than the rest of the strings. Are these problems normal for a string this size, or...

    Can you replace a Killswitch with a Tone Knob ?

    Hi guys, I might be able to secure my first ever 7 string - an Ibanez RGIR27BE Walnut Finish. The guitar is with EMGs, Tremolo and a Killswitch. My question is, can you swap the Killswitch for a Tone Knob ? If I manage to get the guitar, I want to install Fishman Moderns in it and since the...

    Replacement bridge/saddles for PRS SVN?

    Hey everyone, So I've had my SVN for about two months and absolutely adore it. However, the largest string that the bridge will accept is around a .64, whereas I prefer a .68 or above. Are there any drop in saddles or replacement bridges that will accept a larger string? Thanks!

    My F#/.065 String Sounds Really Bad

    Hi all! I need your help. I gave my sevenstring Jackson Pro HT7 (26.5" scale) to techs for adjustments. I asked them to propose a string set for a drop F# tuning (Deftones fan here). They put 6-string set of 11s and a 65 for the thickest string. But this one string sounds really bad, like a...

    Hi everyone ! I'm proud to show you the result of my hard work on my RG8 ! I really like this guitar, it's well made, the stock playability is good, but it looks and sounds really boring. So I decided to turn it into an 8-string that could be used in every kind of project (other than metal)...

    ISP Decimator volume drop?

    So today I picked up an ISP Decimator G-String (the original one, not the II.) Got it for free so I can't complain, seems to do a decent job of eliminating preamp gain-induced hiss. The problem is, using the Decimator in the loop results in a noticeable drop in volume vs having nothing in the...

    Tech can't figure out how to set up Ibanez Zero Point system

    TL;DR Don't buy any guitar with the zero point system in it if you want to use any string gauge lower or higher than the stock 10-58. Several months ago I bought an Ibanez RG927QM that came with the Edge Zero II bridge featuring the Zero Point System (ZPS3Fe). Basically what the system is...
