PICKUP REVIEW GUIDE
Humbuckers:
Seymour Duncan:
SH-1 59: Bit harder sounding than a PAF. Has kind of a vintage sound is good for blues, classic rock, and hard rock. Most common in neck position but is found in the bridge also. Decent cleans but has better od then the jazz- versatile.
Pros: Versatile.
Cons: Jack of all trades.
Hint: great for neck position use with high output bridge humbucker- has good cleans but takes nicely to overdrive too.

Useful Diagrams
O.K. We get a lot of noobs on here asking questions. From time to time someone posts a diagram to help explain something that's quite useful. But when you want to find it again so you can use it in one of your own posts, you just can't be bothered to search through a lot of threads to find it.......
... so why not put all the diagrams in one thread, that people can use as a reference library to link to. (might even get stickied). Think of it as clipart to paste into your own posts. Just bookmark this thread.
Neck Restoration Guide
NECK RESTORATION GUIDE
Well, I finally decided to fix up my S540FMTP. I sanded the finish off the back of the neck and tungoiled it. I used 80, 100, 220, 320, 400, 1500, 2000, 3600 and 6000 grit paper and micro mesh. I also used some 0000 steel wool. I rolled the binding a little more too.
Some pics..

Advanced Pickup Wiring Guide - Ibanez Specific
This thread is for configurations that do not have wiring diagrams readily available.
Hum-Hum-Hum (Dimarzio)
If there is humcancelling pickup like a Virtual Vintage® model in the middle position, it becomes necessary to turn off the bottom coil of the middle pickup as well as one coil from the outside humbucker. This can't be accomplished with a standard 5-way selector switch. The diagram shows how to do this with a multipole 5-way (VLX91) Ibanez Part# 3PS1VLX91

Source for heavy & light vibrato springs...
| For those of us who prefer heavier gauge strings or like a really mushy feeling vibrato... http://www.musiccitymaniac.com/ or http://stores.ebay.com/Music-City-Mania_....634Q2ec0Q2em322 They have vibrato springs in "weak", "medium", "hard" and "hard stainless". I received 4 of each and I'm going to order a bunch more of the "hard stainless" What can I say...they work. Source : Boogieman @ The Guitar Matrix - http://guitarmatrix.proboards.com |
