Yeah but since skateboards are made out of 9 ply maple laminate those guitars are going to sound like nails on a chalkboard with how much high end is going to come out

That's easy to get around, just use high-gain humbuckers with a .047uf capacitor and 250k pots.

If you're gonna throw poo poo about Ibanez models, please at least know something about them, Jesus.

The RG770DX came in two colors, basically red and blue. I bought the red one, but then I modded it, a lot.

This is the reissue of the stock model, you might note the price tag:



I bought mine when it was a new guitar as a backup for my JEM77FP. Then I improved it by putting better (duncan) electronics in it, and I put chrome dome knobs on to replace the red-on-red red knobs, too. I think I made it far less generic and sounded far better; but that's just because I have hands, ears, and eyes.

It's awesome.

So what did I say that implied I didn't know what I was talking about?

Was it the part that I said that it's a generic Ibanez? Because the RGs are about as generic as you can get. But yes, putting zebra pickups and chrome knobs on it made it waaaaay less generic (it did make it slightly less of a glaring neon porno eyesore though)





also you didn't respond to the last part so I'll repeat it: your guitars are fuckin filthy and you should be ashamed for letting your disgusting sweat infect the fretboard like that. At this point I wonder if it'd even be possible to clean those off without loving sanding them down.

I mean I have an EDB-405, I'm guessing EDB is for ErgoDyne Bass but the 405 is a mystery as it's a 5-string soooo

Also I used to think the RG7xx series implied 7 strings so :iiam:

the 4 is always series and the last number usually denotes string count if not stock.

typically if it has a 7 at the end or 5 on a bass it denotes how many strings, other than that who fuckin knows gently caress ibanez and their unimaginative naming

Holy gently caress, I clean and oil my fretboards periodically and wipe down the bodies from time to time, but I've NEVER thought about looking in the jack sockets.

I'm suddenly freaked out and want to look but DON'T want to look all at the same time.

I did find a cigarette butt underneath the neck pocket of an old (late 60s maybe? been a long time) LPC once, weird poo poo.

i use bronze wool and nev-r-dull wadding. it works great. nev-r-dull is awesome for the metal hardware, you do have to wipe it off afterwards with a cloth, but it really cleans nicely. bronze wool won't scratch poo poo like steel or aluminum saddle pieces and poo poo.

Everytime you change the strings, just give the fretboard a quick wipe with a rag with some Napatha\White Spirit on, wait a minute then wipe off what's left with a dry cloth, that's all you need. Just use a slightly damp washing up sponge on the body to clean it. Congratulations! Your guitar is now super shiny and not horrible.

Quick tip. Get a pencil and run it in the nut and saddle grooves, it's a little thing but it stops the strings sticking, which is especially good with strat\floyd bridges.
