So, to begin with, what you see is a blue Agile Interceptor Pro, and an Ibanez RG170 that I restomodded (I Floyd Rose swapped the RG, the Agile is 100% stock except for the pickups). Initially, they were very reliable guitars, but both of them have started to have this problem where their...

So, when I was 17 (10 years ago), I got this beautiful little electric guitar for only $225, from this no-name brand that has since become defunct. Nobody has ever heard of this brand, but that guitar plays better than any of the $2000+ guitars that I've played. It was amazing. Also (this next...

So, I have a wiring diagram. I want to wire some EMG 707s into the guitar, with 1 volume, an input jack, 3-way selector, and 18v electronics. Please bare with me as I'm a noob here and haven't done this before. 1. Which terminal of the battery faces the pickups? I assume it's the negative...

I'm building a guitar, and I decided to go with a satin finish. I've sprayed two light coats on already. I know the typical procedure with a gloss finish is to wet-sand it up to 1400 or 2000-grit sandpaper. I kind of want to, just to get the experience, and because I want a faster neck. But...

I'm not sure but if you go to Seymour Duncan's website, you can customize a wiring diagram by entering your pickup configuration, and your number of volume and tone pots. The configurator will tell you what type of pot you should get, among everything else you'll need to know. Best of luck!

Sorry if my comment came off as a bit passive-aggressive, I didn't intend for it to come off that way. But you think it will warp with only one string?

May I ask what you were building? Was it a djentstick or an actual guitar/bass?

It's a 2x4 with only one string. I'm sure it will be fine.

I actually have a set of 707s. Assuming this isn't sarcasm (sorry I'm a bit of a dumbass), is there a reason why EMGs don't have to be grounded?

Okay, thanks. I'll find a way to do that. In regards to your second comment, it's just a djentstick with literally one string. The final product is going to be nowhere near professional quality, I just think it's a fun project for experimenting with low tunings and will get me some experience...

Explain? So it's the *strings* that need to be grounded? Sorry if that's a dumb question

Hey, so I'm building a djentstick out of a 2 by 4. Yeah, I know, I'm hopping on this trend about seven years too late, but whatever. Anyway, I planned nearly everything out, except for one problem. The way I have arranged the parts and cavities means that it will be difficult or impossible for...

I want to make a disclaimer that I know nothing about wiring guitars. I plan to learn with a new guitar kit that I'm going to buy soon, but for now I am paying someone else to do it for me because it's an extremely complicated job. Anyway. I tried to get my guitar set up with a luthier who is...

TL;DR: Trying to find a middle pickup for guitar, than can accompany my SD Alpha/Omega pups while also sounding good for non-metal. So, I've posted a bit about the Ibanez RG 6-string that I'm restoring. I bought some Seymour Duncan Alpha/Omega pickups after listening to a lot of shootouts on...

So, I am restoring an Ibanez RG170, I have Floyd swapped it already, but I want to install the Seymour Duncan MH Alpha/Omega signature pickups. After speaking to a representative from Seymour Duncan, he has informed me that both the neck (Alpha) AND the bridge (Omega) are standard spaced. Now...
