CainMD Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) i got this pickguard for an ibanez rg. when i got it i can't figure out if i can install my pickups. I've never seen a pickguard like this. the guys that made it were huge tools. The pickguard is the same shape as the pickup holes in the guitar and the only way i can attached them is to screw on top of the pickguard. I'm thinking of sawing off the corners so i can fit the pickups through the guard. These pics should explain everything. I got dimarzio evolutions, Help please. http://s481.photobucket.com/albums/rr176/c...=1231080836.jpg http://s481.photobucket.com/albums/rr176/c...=1228081324.jpg Edited January 26, 2009 by CainMD Quote
andyt Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 you bought a pickguard for direct mount pickups, like GMC & florals- did you mean to? Quote
CainMD Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) i gave the guy the model number of the guitar and he made a pickguard. I don't really know what that means if you could elaborate or tell me what to do. EDIT: i just looked up direct mount pickups and i think that might be the case, which sucks. Know i think im just gunna install the pickups then cut out the pickguard so it will fit around unless there's a better course of action. these are the pickups i have, they don't say if theyre direct mount or not, the originals that came with the guitar def aren't. http://cgi.ebay.com/DiMarzio-Steve-Vai-Iba...93%3A1|294%3A50 Edited January 26, 2009 by CainMD Quote
RAI6 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 Pickups aren't available as "direct mount". It's just something you do. Quote
