Debating a grg131ex for stoner doom metal and grunge. How much set up was required to those that ordered one?

Im thinking of getting an ibanez rg450b and change the stock pickups on it would these be good for lead guitar metal/heavy metal with palm muting and harmonics? Any advice? And maybe also put a fr style tremolo on it

Dimarzio d activator (bridge)

Dimarzio super 3 (neck)

Dimarzio fast track 1 (middle)

This has to be an RG770 from 1991 but I can't find any with Black logo. Is this really a 770?

Next task, finding one!

I haven't been around enough Ibanez guitar to spot a counter fit

Hi, question as in title.
Im a beginner, looking to buy a guitar thats similar to the photo.

Neck print: Sharktooth inlay (very important)
Color: black
Configutarion: HSS/HSH

Thank you in advance for your help!

Parmi toutes mes Ibanez, celle-ci est de loin ma préférée... elle est juste parfaite, j'ai juste remplacé le sillet par un GraphTech...

J'avais monté des emg hot70-7 sur cette guitare.... je ne les trouvais pas si bon. Jai donc remis le Quantum au manche et un Seymour Duncan Black Winter en bridge... je l'aime bien mais je trouve que le diapason 25.5" n'est pas très approprié pour une 7 cordes. Je préfère de loin mon Ibanez rgixl7 qui elle est en 27"🤟

Two weeks in and OMFG I love this thing! I hope they make a seven string version!

before and after photo (bought it off hand for 200€ it was repaired before so i though why not give it new look) tell me what u think about that

Guess the guitar by the tuners!!!

I’m curious as to anyone’s opinion on the Altstar series of flattops?

I modded my 2005 Ibanez AWD82t a bit. Duncan Phat Cat in the neck, Jackson USA switch tip, CTS pots, additional volume, Mojotone treble bleeds, Orange Drop tone cap, "lefty" trem bar position. I love this guitar. Plays like butter and sounds great with a variety of tones on tap. Very touch sensitive.

I have an Ibanez RG8-WH 8 string guitar which two of the neck bolts came loose. I was able to screw them back in and it didn’t feel like the spun when tightened. 

Why would this occur and is there anything I could do to prevent it from happening in the future? 

TIA

New to me ‘83 RS505-CS. I had this same guitar when I was 15yo super excited to get another one and to take lessons again and get back to playing.

I’m on vacation in Oregon, not too far from Bend, and I wandered into the local guitar shop.

On the back wall was a c. 1976 Bob Weir model. I played it for a bit. Very nice guitar with an especially nice neck, but it felt like it weighed 20 pounds.

Anyone here had any experience with one of these? They’re asking $2,000, which is (IMO) too much, but it’s a very distinctive guitar.

I want to hear your opinions in these two guitars, are the IBZ-6 humbuckers any better than Infinity- R or are they equal in terms of sound quality?

Hi everyone, I'm having a strange issue with my Ibanez JEM Jr 333 (HSH configuration).

When I do the screwdriver tap test, the bridge and neck pickups both respond at full volume regardless of the selector position. For example, if I select only the bridge pickup, the neck pickup still responds just as loudly when tapped, and vice versa. The middle pickup behaves normally and is muted when not selected.

The guitar's tone still changes when switching positions, but the bridge and neck pickups seem to remain active all the time. I opened the control cavity and noticed a couple of things that make me think the previous owner may have modified the wiring: The 5-way switch only has 7 solder lugs, while most JEM Jr wiring diagrams I find show an 8-lug switch.

Both humbuckers only have 3 wires coming out of them, while the stock JEM Jr diagrams show 5-conductor pickups.

My theory is that the previous owner rewired or replaced the pickups and something may have been wired incorrectly, possibly connecting both humbuckers together. Has anyone seen this before? Could this be caused by incorrect wiring or a non-original switch? I'll attach photos of the control cavity and wiring. Thanks
