Okay I'm not sure if you guys read the rules or not but I'm going to spell it out for you.

Nothing religious is to be posted.

Dime razor if I was a mod I would give you a two week vacation right now for not only posting religious crap, but saying stuff about it that would be considerd extremely offensive to alot of people. Not only that but you used the D word in a previous post, also against the rules.

I don't really care what your view on religen is, I've already made up my mind, and nothing anyone on this forum could say will change it. It's just annoying that your breaking the rules and totally de-railing my thread.

Thread jacking is a big no-no. I've let it go on with the slang talk, which is funny. But this is going to stop right now.

I'm asked the moderators to delete the two religious trype posts.

So lets forget this happend and get this thread back on track okay?

More pics have been requested, and they will be up late tomorrow guaranteed.

Yeah, i guess i skipped the rules thing, sorry.

Anyway, theat guitar is looking sexy, i guess it sorta inspires me to stick my wood through the thicknesser and start cutting the body out.

I would avoid the ones with floyd roses, as I have had noting except bad experiences with cheap floyd roses.

Thanks for the advice. I was particularly interested/concerned about the quality of the hardware... still could be good to get experience upgrading/modifying though.

Sucks to live in Australia sometimes. Those Xaviere guitars look pretty good, but $125 is a fair bit to pay for shipping in what I can only guess to be USD.

You could always give your current axe a makeover?

Edited offencive material.

I have to get myself some flamed maple, but it looks expencive? Does anyone know of any suppliers in australia?

Damn slang bs!

Them "wanna be gangsters" at my school use "off tap" and "fo' shizzle".

I fixed most of the buzz by changing the action (i still get small ammounts if i play harder).

Cheers for the help!

Sounds like the guitar wasn't set up too well when you bought it. Were did you buy the instrument.... if you dont mind me asking?

Ibanez Guitar Centre.

Seems to me if it's a new guitar, it's just in the process of getting acclimated to its new home --did you buy this locally or through the mail?

Did you check the relief on the guitar? It may just need its truss rod tweaked a bit, then you'll be able to get your action down low again.

Bought it locally. The relief seems fine but i may re-check it just in case.

i have a new (bought it on the 8th of April) Ibanez grg170 and i seem to be having trouble with the Low E and A string.

Low E will buzz on every fret between 7 and 20 and my A has small ammounts of buzz on these notes too.

I have tried adjusting the saddle height with no success

I have placed a capo on the first fret but the buzzing is still present which leads me to assume its either intonation or i can't adjust the saddle for sh*t.

Intonation being out shouldnt make an instrument buzz. Sounds like something funny going on the bass side of your neck. How low is your action? Note that if your action is very low then bass strings will be the first ones to start buzzing. If buzzing continues with a higher action then id be looking at the neck....first thing id check is neck relief and trueness. If youre not sure how to adjust a truss rod then take the instrument to someone who does.

Yeah, the Amp really doesn't need to be amazing, thats what the mesa is for

Just needed a practice but the spider 15w looks like the one to get.

Cheers for the help!

Goto www.ibanezrules.com and read the tech section.

Ah!! Cheers!

Hello this is my first post on this site.

How is the quility of Warmoth replacement necks. Is the fretwork good?

Very good quality, the fretwork isn't too bad either.

I need help

Btw, its the crap version/worst $400 guitar ibanez have, it utilizes a FAT10 bridge (stupid floating crap).

I guess i kinda answered my own question

Any extra help ??

yo dime

(sorry to hijack)

where in adelaide are you from??

what suppliers have you tried, i got my timber from otto's, mahogany neck blanks and mahogany body wood.

i'm looking for some kind of figured top (going to attempt an LP).

btw i'm from largs bay.

cheers

I have looked at a smaller wood place down south (noarlunga area) can't remember the name though. I fortunately get meranti for free.

What does the mahogany cost?

I am in Woodcroft. (The nicest place to live in the south of the south)

Cheers.

Well i am about to start gathering wood for a new build. The paticular guitar i plan to be building is an Ibanez RG replica.

I have a list of wood i have found at local suppliers and they all look like i can use them for guitar building, the only question is which are more suitable (tone, weight, ease of building etc.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are the woods that i have found at the hardwoods supplier:

Jarrah

Blackwood

Meranti

Lacewood

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are probably alot more than this so i am open to any new suggestions.

Hi, i need to purchase a small amp for practice at home.

I haven't tried it out, but there's the Ibanez Valbee --it's all tube, but only 5 watts with a 6-inch speaker, so it should be suitable for home use --it also has an extra high-gain distortion circuit for metalheads...also has a headphone out and tube-emulation for late-night playing.

Best of all, it's pretty cheap. And it's tube.

I will look at both, the spider2 is looking damn good not bad but cost $400 for a 15w.

Though the valbee is $450 but is a tube.

Hmmm Line6 is looking more enticing. (unless someone tells me otherwise)

Cheers guys!

RIP marshall stack

Hi, i need to purchase a small amp for practice at home.

I wan't something with descent overdrive to suit the music i play (metallica, pantera etc..)

I am looking for something with 10-15 watts.

I looked at a marshall mcd10 and a few laney models but have yet to try them.

Any ideas???

Cheers
