They can be great guitars! I have one that I put some love into. I bought a flat Gibraltar bridge, Dimarzio pickups, had the frets leveled, and sanded the back of the neck and oiled it. It is a solid guitar!

Is the flat Gibraltar the II? The one I have on the way didn't look flat, I don't think. Is the II a drop in replacement? What Dimarzios did you put in it, involve any routing?

It looks like this, but black: https://ibanez.fandom.com/wiki/Gibraltar_Standard_II

Yeah, the one they came with was kind of tall on the sides. The II wasn't as tall where you lay your hand. Yeah, it screwed right into the same screws.

I put in a Crunch Lab and Liquifier. They dropped right in. I did it years ago, so I kinda forget, lol. I remember it was pretty easy though.

Nothing special but an Ibanez Rg7321 should be on my doorstep tomorrow. Pure impulse buy. Not sure the year but from pics it appears to have an upgraded bridge pup and a Gibraltar bridge for $180.

I've wanted a new 7 and really want a Schecter C7 Apocalypse but due to getting a pedal board and a couple pedals here very soon(once I figure out exactly what I want) I went for something cheap.

Hope it's a winner. I'll find out soon.
I grabbed one of those with the same intentions years ago. Aside from the stock tuners being rough they're great project guitars. The stock bridge pickup is super muddy though.

Thanks man

I used it for years before I modded it, so totally usable stock!

I have always wanted to pick up a 6 string D Sonic. I have a Schecter CR-6 I think it might go well in.

Same here. I thought you were saying you bought Chinese tubes at $15 ea, which seems about average, but these are a bargain. Got 4 myself. Thanks for the heads up @Mourguitars
