I recently bought this Ibanez SZ520qm guitar and want to upgrade the pickups to something better and from the seymour duncan range.
I want it primarily to play heavy metal but i want some pickups that are diverse enough to sound good enough for other styles as i tend to play other styles besides metal from time to time.

What's your mods of choice to do to your guitar that make it cooler than you're friends' guitar? The additions you put on that make it look more 'badass' maybe?

Hello there! My name's Filipe, and i wanted to know if anyone has ever used both pickups and can tell me how different from the JB is the Distortion...
I have a 7-string custom built guitar(mahogany body and neck/rosewood fingerboard/59' neck - JB bridge), and i'm thinking of trying the distortion in the bridge, since sometimes i can't get the heavy tone i want.

I was rewiring my Seth Lover neck pickup with 4 conductor cable and noticed that the brass screws in the bobbins were very loose (since these pickups are not potted). So I figured that I would shove a toothpick in the holes to help hold the screws in place.

Hey guys. I'm really trying to build up my picking speed. Yngwie can pick insanely fast, as you all know. Now what type of picking style does he use? Just alternate or circular picking? He can fly up and down the neck so damn fast and I know i won't be able to do that for a long time, but can someone tell me the techniques he uses?

This was an impulse buy a few weeks ago. I saw it on eBay and I just had to have it. Anyway, now I'm strapped for cash so I need to sell this quickly.
It's in pretty good condition. It has some of the typical basswood RG dings, but nothing major. The only real problem is the 14th fret. I guess the previous owner was an Em pentatonic whore, so the 14th fret is worn down a little more than the rest. I raised the action a bit and adjusted the truss rod so that buzzing is minimal and you don't need to do anything to it, but you might want to get a fret level or possible a refret in the future (I was actually going to get theodie to refret this, but now I need money ). There is a PAF Pro in the bridge and a Hot Rails in the neck. It comes in a hardcase, but I don't have the tremolo bar. I can take more pics if needed.

Hi guys,

I just stumbled on this site. Some good players and several brands of boutique amps like Carr, Germino, Fuchs, Dumble, Maven Peal, Matchless!

anyone interested in a new old stock Schecter custom shop USA Mahogany telecaster body?
it's routed for 2 hums, original floyd rose and is finished in black w/ cream binding. has a nice recessed heel too!

I restrung my MIA Strat last night with .010's and tuned it down 1/2 step from standard. I also took the opportunity to reflow any cold solder joints (see my quot;aw hellquot; thread) and something interesting happened... the guitar LOST bass and got twangier! What gives?
