Huge setup and pickup pictoral

[hirah]

so i figured i'd never done this before so here it goes.
the workbench

drink of choice

the pickups, paf7s

loosen all the strings

cut em , am i the only one that closes my eyes and turns away when i do this?

wrap your used strings up so you don't poke an eye out!!

polish the frets

clean the board

desolder the old stock crappy 7420 pickups

remove the old crappy 7420 pickups

dont forget the little foamy thingies

paf7s are in. i like the grey color, nice contrast to the body.

 

[Spoongirl]

the pafs look nice in grey

nice picstory!! I'll be throwing one this week

 

[hirah]

wireup the pickups the 1st time. dont ask , ooopps

put on the strings.

all strug up

what's this?

yeah

dont get excited, i tune to b

my homemade trem stop. it's been working flawlessly for a few years now

set the intonation and adjusted the action a bit.
wiped it clean again and tested it.

if you could see the green on the meter, all is go.

man, this pictoral stuff is a pain in the ass. but the guitar plays great and i think i'm going to love the pickups. they have more mids than the stock ibanez and they still retain definition.
they're a great addition to my blazes,new7s,air nortons,paf pros,tone zone and emgs.
enjoy.

[OzzyC]

i dont turn my head
i dont see the point of it

 

[ChaNce]

i dont turn my head
i dont see the point of it

That nice whip scar on your face will look nice

I close and turn as well.

 

[DBDbadreligion]

yeah man that trem stop looks nice. how'd u make it?

 

[Michael]

Cool picstory, your trem block looks cool. And the grey blends nicely with the red.

 

[hirah]

the trem stop is a hanger for a curtain rod. they're like 50 cents. works great. my other guitars are more high tech. brass angled brackets.

 

[Ryan]

that grey and red looks sweet man. cool picstory.
i dont turn because i loosen the string to no tension. About the equivalent of cutting a shoelace ;D

 

[BinaryTox1n]

Yeah, i loosen the strings a little, then hold the longest side of the string. That way the short half isnt long enough to whip me in the face, and the side thats long enough to isn't going anywhere.

Neat trem stop idea, though.

 

[Sebastian]

Great work

Looks good dude I loosen my strings to no tension, then pinch both sides of where I'm cutting with my left hands, a couple of fingers each side, then trim.

Don't make the mistake of tuning up instead of loosening. I did that once on a 3+3 headstock cos I didn't pay attention. The .010 high E slashed my hand beatuifully when it snapped. If I wasn't holding the neck I might have lost an eye.

That accident with strings are shit.

Always you hurt under the nail, ARGH! that's painfull!

Nice work man!

Thos PAF looks really K7's xD.

What it's that tuner?

Looks nice.

 

[Metal Ken]

I close my eyes and look away just in case too.

I put my had right above it when i do that so if it tries to smack my face, my hand cancels that shit.

 

[skinhead]

you can take of the nuts and take of the strings without hurting you

But that it's very slow, we want the fast thing hehe.

Metal Ken do you ahve some photos of your conklin?
