    :O now thats one sexy beast

    well for the moment at least im going to be leaving this guitar in 1 peice if im gonna be modding guitars itll be really cheap secondhanders that noone wants anymore but yer iv decided on the les paul studeo carved top, but im stuck on colours now:p cherry red with gold hardwear (like the pic in here) black with silver hardwear or black with gold hardwear

    ha i didnt just go for the ibanez for the look, i have played ibanez and i love their necks and everything really. apart from the trem not always staying 100% in tune my ibanez RGT 6 EX is just about the most perfect guitar i could ever have for playing metal. but i want some radically different guitars to the normal superstrats i end up buying. and i would want to repaint it because i HATE that colour i love everything else about the guitar...but the colour is just awful. and anyway iv pretty much decided to go for a les paul i found a les paul studio carved top, in black with gold hardwear for about £800, or with silver hardwear for £700 so im pretty sure im gonna go with one of them.

    oh i would never sell on guitars now. i sold on my first one at a charity auction and now i realise iv lost a perfectly good "tester" guitar body. hmm a real les paul would be uber sweet. but it could be at least twice the price :/ ha when i didnt play guitar i thought they looked really really good, now when i see someone playing them they look so stupid.

    you screw in the metal ring, it has a large self tap screw on the outside, so it screws into the wood, and on the inside it has a ready tapped thread, made for metal screw, and it saves wearing wood where screws are taken in and out alot.

    because i want a "classic rock guitar" and i love the eclypse but im trying to vary the type of guitars im getting, because i keep going on about how good ibanez and ESP are and iv never really tryed anything else ever. and i love the gold hardwear
  7. IbanezFreak666
    yup thats why i hate V guitars, their bridges are sooo far up compared to the bodys on most guitars

    ha i was just talking to someone online who was complaining that their locking trem kept going out of tune.... evveeentully after an hour of talking i found out she didnt lock the nut because she kept breaking strings.......
  10. IbanezFreak666
    ^^ great advice
  11. IbanezFreak666
    i can see how it looks more interesting. to some people...but just for me the headstock is an integral part of a design... you cant have a guitar without one....maby a bass...but not a guitar.
  12. IbanezFreak666
    i hate the look of guitars with them... the ones without a headstock are just boring and the ones with a headstock with no strings just look plain weird.
  13. IbanezFreak666
    probably, but that doesnt nessisarrily mean bad qualtiy..its probably CNC produced so as long as they are using decent metal i dont see why the qualtiy would be much worse than one made in america/uk...
  14. IbanezFreak666
    its not just that they have ball bearings instead of knife edges, they also have a lil gizmo at the back that levels the trem to the centerpoint if a string breaks orone string goes out of tune.
  15. IbanezFreak666
    i liked the lower horn but the upper one is a bit ...O.O
  16. IbanezFreak666
    oh :/ i use the neck pickup too much and i will want to sustain when im using the neck pickup oh well ill have to find another guitar to put one in :/
  17. IbanezFreak666
    EMGs, but with a 12 string they might "mush" it a bit too much. but pretty much any high output humbucker is going to be bass heavy
  18. IbanezFreak666
    try a nailbomb or some Seymore Duncans.
  19. IbanezFreak666
    well my bands other guitarist managed to restring his electric with half the bridge upside down O.o and the people who setup his guitar did it so bad that half the bridge turns upside down even if you string it the right way up :/ so i have to sort it all out for him.
  20. IbanezFreak666
    what about just replacing one fret? i had a huge dent in one and i needed to file it out..now i think its gonna be too low to work properly :/
  21. IbanezFreak666
    i love the look of a locking trem and i used to think it was a pain in the ass to change strings but now if i need to change one i can do it in about the same time as it takes to change a string on a regular guitar. so the locking bit isnt a problem the only problem is the floating bit... it is sooo hard to keep in tune. but apparently the new ZP trem from ibanez gets rid off all the normal problems associated with locking trems.
  22. IbanezFreak666
    would putting a sustainer between 2 humbuckers work? or would i just get too much feedback/noise?
  23. IbanezFreak666
    that is expensive paper O.o its the stuff that fits my palm sander anyway iv got all the paint off with the heat gun and i have a very black edge..but it sands off really easyly so its okay but it looks really cool at the moment... kinda like a mottled black...like a black tank thats been through a warzone. eventully im gonna get a cheap strat and do that to it all over, sand it down a bit and finish it with clear laquer. but i dunno how it will turn out so ill use a really cheap guitar.
  24. IbanezFreak666
    i have only had a guitar for a year..but already some of the frets have worn down so much in certain places it makes a loud buzz when i fret a note because the side of the strings hit the walls of the dent in the fret! i tryed filing the fret flat but now its quite a bit flatter than the rest of them. i have no idea how to go about refretting, what tools will i need what materials...where can i get them and how much will it cost? or how much would it be to get a proffesionall to do it?

    leave it in the sun over the summer and itll fade and give it a vintage look
