  1. Alder sometimes has very small knots which usually aren't a problem, I would fill the grain personally because after a while the finish tends to settle into the grain of Alder Bodied Guitars
  2. There was one in the downloads section but now you have to make a donation to Project Guitar to get access to it
  3. Same here, occasionally I have a neck that needs a little attention after fretting but not very often, and I fret about 6-10 necks a weeks on average
  4. Sperzel Locking Tuners can be assembled either way, just buy a 6pack of inline and take two apart and reverse them
  5. I just trim the whole thing off and use a Floyd Nut shim to get the nut set right,
  6. you could put a slightly larger bearing on your router bit which would make the neck pocket smaller
  7. you can get an inexpensive Hygrometer? sp? at your local wood supplier or online. check your wood first then decide if it needs to be taken inside to dry more or not
  8. Pull the fretboard yourself it's easy, just use the tutorial on the site and take your time it only should take you about an hour or so
  9. This comment was a faux paux in the Ibanez catalogue's, the 7620 didn't have dimarzio blaze pickups in it, it has the standard Ibanez 7 pickups in it that the 7420 was supposed to have. there were a couple different versions of each, but a phone call with hoshino told me that the RG7's never came with dimarzio's in them. Just a little FYI based on what I was told. (which could still be wrong ) The pickups in my 7620 are Dimarzios, The say so on the bottom
  10. It's good practice for your finishing skills regardless of whether or not the glue joint holds. Finish it and if it cracks later, then get a new body
  11. Pull the neck and see if it has a shim in the neck pocket
  12. check ebay you can probably get a Schaller Stop tailpiece for like $30
  13. I t sounds like it could have happened when you were re-raduising the fretboard by not sanding parallel to the fingerboard. If you pull all the frets and fix the board you probably have to re-saw the fret slots. If it's not "twisted" too bad you could even correct it with a dressing of the frets
  14. a Wilkenson would be a good bet because only the post on the top of the body needs to be exact, the bottom post can go anywhere along the body of the trem
  15. yeah you just treat the acrylic just like paint an d keep sanding with finer and finer grits until you get to about 3000 then polish, just be prepared, the scratches are alot harder to remove from plexi than paint
  16. it will probably sound like crap, there's so much glue holding all that sawdust together it wont vibrate
  17. Kramer used aluminum necks on their early guitars
  18. ok I'll bite, I'll swap the one in mt RG 7620
