Hi everybody, Im new on this forum because I bought an Ibanez 7420 from a friend, I think my guitar has a problem, I cant find exactly what happen, but Im going to explain my problem so maybe other people has this issue...
I think the guitar has a problem because the output signal is not as loud as it must be, because I have an JS100 with ibanez pickups and the output signal is really louder that my rg7420, when I use distortion, it sounds like when you play with the volume knob in the middle, I test it with my GT-6 and both guitars, when I check the input level meter, with the RG7420 I only get 2 and with the JS100 I get almost 7 on the input, this is a big difference in the overall sound.
I think both guitars should have the same output because they have standard Ibanez pickups.
I checked the wiring, and compare to the Ibanez rg7420 schematics and looks Ok.
other issue is that using the 5 selector to the lower position(5) suppose to sound louder than in the 4 position. But sounds like a single coil in the 5 position. This is weird because in my other ibanez that I had the louder signal were in 1 position and in the 5 position.
If anybody has a 7420 I would appreciatte if ypu can post the levels of the output signals on every position.
I dont know if there is a bad connection, or damage pickups,.
Thanks all.
