So I have been doing a little research and seem to be going down a rabbit hole. I wanted to change a TOM bridge on a Jackson with a 12-16" radius however I cant seem to find one with the same radius or one that will work, would a "normal" TOM bridge work or would I find a difference in the feel...
So, it's been a while since I've posted here.
I'm currently finishing working on a guitar and would like advice on what I should go for.
Essentially, it's like this. I'm using a MIM strat body with a Warmoth neck, I'm going to be using Sperzel tuners that match the color of the bridge, and...
For my RG2228 project I have to insert the new posts which when inserted will trap a ground wire in the hole. So I wanted to grab a tough wire such as those normally as used on as ground bare wire. Basically I'm worried that as I insert a copper wire it will snap and I'll be left having to yank...
I've been looking at a getting a guitar for shred/metal with a floyd type bridge, and I've been looking at jackson. My main question is what is the difference between something like the late 2000s dk2m, and the early 90s professional series as far as quality goes. also how are the bridges? I...
Whats out there, whats good and more importantly does it come in black?
So I'm upgrading all the hardware on my Iceman and I just need to get the bridge, currently on there is one of these:
Which is the "Ibanez Full Tune III"
I'd love something like the original Gibraltar bridge as I've...
I'm thinking of various mods I could do to my strat, and have considered upgrading the bridge. I'm in absolutely no rush to do it, but I'd like to do some research nonetheless.
EDIT: it would appear I'm just after upgrading the trem block, not necessarily the whole bridge itself.
From what I...
Seymour Duncan Classic Stack + Middle
White. Never installed it. 75 new, missing the box and frankly it's a humbucking middle pickup, so I sold it to Ben
DiMarzio DP403 Virtual Vintage Heavy Blues
Installed briefly in my charvel. $65 new, so I sold it to Greg the Eagle
DiMarzio DP402 Virtual...
Long story short. I bought and had these parts made for me to be thrown into a guitar. I sent them off to a luthier to have him assemble and do the work on this, but he decided to steal everything instead. About 2 years later and tons of dealing with detectives and lawyers, these arrived on my...
FU High-Performance Bridge [FU-HPBBB1] - $249.95 : FloydUpgrades.com!, Floyd Rose Tremolo Upgrades
Anybody tried these? They look awesome. For around $300 you get a nice bridge with an oversized brass block, brass claw, and noiseless springs. Seems like a pretty nice setup. I am considering...
* WD Music Products - 7 STRING TUNEOMATIC BRG CHROME
Doesn't seem like there's much out there, but I found that site that has 'em. Anyone know of a place that stocks them with Graphtech saddles?
Does anybody here know where I can get something like this. It appears the company that produced that conversion bridge went out of business and I've not been able to locate something similar. I'm not interested in just blocking the bridge as I'd lideally like to actually put piezo saddles and...
Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar: Stuff is used, never abused, and in great condition. Carvin chrome floyd is new, never used. Washburn 7 string neck, new and unused.
Modifications (if any): Slight filing of ear on pickup to fit inside the Carvin. nothing major or really noticeable...
Dimarzio Mo Joe - $55
White, F-Spaced. Short lead, if needed i can throw an extension on it.
Seymour Duncan Alternative 8 - $65
Shortly installed in my carvin. Sounds great, but i had an aldrich laying around, so it was a no brainer. Pretty much all the lead left, other than part being...
Is there a breakdown on which bridges are compatible with which models?
I have a RG570 that has a couple chips and some scuffs and I was thinking the I might "upgrade" or something if thats an option as a drop in replacement.
