Hi guys.. I picked up a great sounding RG 550 Ibanez with the killer Edge Trem, cheap! It's a 1998 model.. Well, I love the sound of it, especially since I put the DD in the bridge, (Still needs a mid and or neck pup, but I may get a different pick guard and have it routed for two hums only).. Anyway.. I can't seem to get enough sustain out of the guitar.. That said, this guitar rings loud.. Especially for a Trem guitar .. I mean it's loud.. Has a maple neck which I love.. it's a little thin, but a joy to play lead on! Anyway, I want to keep the guitar, but I need more sustain when playing lead and when playing big open chords like G, etc, when I want it to ring out.. I find that it doesn't seem to matter how much gain I use, or what type of amp, tube or otherwise, it's just not got quite enough sustain.. I suspect it's either the Trem, and the DD or one of the two.. Now that said, I don't want to block the trem really, but I will if it helps that much.. I'd rather have a fixed bridge installed as I like the guitar that much, but I have no tech at all that can do this.. I don't care if it even gets painted afterwards, etc.. I just love the feel of the guitar.. So, should I go with a compresser? If so, what one? I hate the noise they add.. How does someone like Yngwie get his guitars too sustain so long? I was watching him on a video and he uses like 8 gauge strings with a maple neck scalloped, etc.. but he's also using Marshall Mk2's I think it is which I suspect along with his noise gate and pedals helps him.. Again, this thing is just a tad off.. not really bad.. but if it would just sustain another 2 seconds rougly when I bend a note I'd be really happy.. I can even feel the guitar vibrate in my hands and against my fat stomach..hehe.. Any suggestions? I'm thinking about going to a different pickup as I think the DD is a tad too bright in this guitar.. I wish I could get something not quite as hot, but close, but something that had a lot more bass and mids.. Like maybe the Blues sarceno pickup or something.. But I don't think it's wound hot enough for me.. Right now as of late I've been going directly into a Tech21 Tri Od which I love.. Sounds like a wall of Tube amps.. hehe.. into a PA.. or the effects loop of a Marshall Valvestate 100 watt head into a couple cabs..
Sounds great.. Ton's of punch, and that killer tube power amp sound cranked.. etc..

•*EDIT*•

I hoping to get an answer from the Duncan people but does anyone know exactly what model this is? It's a trembucker that is really slanted (the bobbins don't line up straight). Is it a modded TB4? PA-TB1? 2?

I have alot of dust collecting on my amp, and since it's not smoot I can wipe it off, what can I use to get rid of this dust thats in the crevises of the amps quot;finishquot;.?

from : localhost/ Hopefully it works this time. I'm singing and playing rhythm and my buddy Greg is ripping it up on lead. Of course theres the drummer and the bass player, but who cares about them!

I was thinking about getting the 78 for the bridge and an Alnico II pro for the neck. I wanted my VH/Slash combo...Sound good?

Hiyas, I've a got an ash body strat with a maple fretboard. I'm putting a Hot Rails in the bridge, a Vintage Rails in the middle, and a Cool Rails in the neck. Should I stick with 250k pots or switch to 500k?

In trying to educate myself in the single coil arena, I need to ask this. I'm putting my Little '59 back in my Strat (bridge position). What I need to know is which of these two single coils would match up better?

I play bass myself and really don't feel a need for pedals like when i played guitar. I understand in some situations that overdrive, dist and fuzz may be of use so as an envelope filter/follower, but i don't see the use of reverb, phaser, flanger etc
