Finally got a pretty good tone dialed in.^^^^^ I saved the patch to compare after a pickup swap

Ahh ok cool, thanks guys

When I order mine in a couple months, I will strip it, stain it purple, get a black pearloid pickguard made for it, and get a Holy Diver/VHII set for it.

Going to be doing my first part of my modding within the next few days...

Just ordered myself some white 3d carbon fiber vinyl which I will be putting on the face of my guitar. I was originally going to do a black carbon fiber but I realized that I really like the white body on this guitar. The white vinyl will keep the same color but will give it a unique texture and the light is going to bounce off the face in and give the top some depth

If I can find an Ibanez logo decal....I might just do the headstock too

EDIT:

Just ordered a new logo! Now, the guitar's front & headstock will be covered in white carbon fiber vinyl and there will be a new Ibanez Prestige logo

I'm considering getting one of these with some Lace death bar/x bar combo. Which ones would fit in the RG8 p/u cavity? 3.5, 4.0, or 4.5? Very confused as which ones fit.

Anyone thinking of changing the tuners? Locking?

Anyone thinking of changing the tuners? Locking?

ive got some sperzel locking tuners on a couple of my esp's which i really like. thinking of getting some of those after i settle on what string size im gonna use...need to see whether or not i have to mod them to accept a larger string size.

 

[donray1527]

Any body know if you could easily replace all hardware with carvin hardware?

 

[Go To Bed Jessica]

Does anyone know which tuners will accept heavier strings (up to 90 or so) without modification?

should all be universal sizes. like what though? hipshot bridge should come blank as far as the mounting holes. tuners would be the biggest improvement and very switchable. well, besides pups.

Got some things on order and some others in the works. Finally decided on pups and ordered a pair of white 808X`s, white selector switch tip and some white hats. Thinking about a white Graphtech nut and maybe a pickguard in the near future. I'll post pics as I get shit done.
