Just picked up a 97 RG-570 in Purple Neon, all original hardware and pickups! I am gonna restore it and sell it. I paid 25 bucks for it!!

which is the best non Floyd Rose Ibanez with a tremolo?

@samdewy9820 күн бұрын
I have same guitar (same surf green) 1. Widen bone nut slot a bit. I think bone nut slot might trap string. While we don't cut bottom just widen nut slot a bit 2. Use pencil as lubricant on nut slot 3. String tree for first & second string is set too low, this creates more break angle so we'd better increase height of string tree then string can move more freely 4. I replaced original tuner with traditional locking tuner which you showed in the video. That can help. Also do not wrap string on tuner. Stretch string at tuner and just lock there without wrapping 5. Lock the small screw within two tremolo post (there is tiny screw within tremolo bridge height adjustment post Let me know whether above 5 things can help. A lot of time string tree was set too low then that can creates a lot of friction there. String tree, nut slot width, lub are key

String tree wise, there's spacer, once we put different height spacer then we can control spring tree height.

Also due to difference of each string tension we'd better put angle on claw (more screw in for low E string and less screw in for high E string). Putting angle on claw is very effective way so each string moves in & out with more balance. I am pretty sure that once you combine above 5 items with claw angle then you can utilize gotoh tremolo similar as RG floyd Rose bridge. I also have both RG and AZ prestige model. Bottom line is RG model with edge tremolo is doable for very sensitive arming play so if you play a lot of arming then RG is the best. AZ2402 is still doable for active arming but this gotoh T1802 system is relatively less sensitive. T1802 bridge has titanium saddle. This adds some clarity on tone. I utilize wilkinson locking saddle on my charvel dk but I keep original titanium saddle on my AZ2402. Definitely there's way in order to improve tuning stability. I love both RG, AZ.

Yeah the original nut was replaced a while back with a brass one I shaped up from a blank, and it's a night and day difference. The original wasn't cut too well, so it gave me the opportunity to swap it instead of filling the slots/ re file. Along with the HAP Gotohs, they were replaced with a standard Gotoh staggered magnum set as the HAP's tend to move a hair under trem tension. Really appreciate the options!
@samdewy9819 күн бұрын
@@IbanezGuy88 Awesome, I initially started having tuning stability issue with Charvel dk then learned from there utilizing Wilkinson locking saddle. Even AZ,RG prestige guitar need some work such as fret leveling. I think first thing once we buy new guitar is fret leveling for perfect low action. I really appreciate your honest review on AZ2402. The more we play guitar and investigate how to optimize the more we can feel that even same guitar can sound quite different.

@Tinylittledancer814Ай бұрын
I'm curious about installing this in a HSS strat or one of the regular parallel axis distortions. Do you know if the electronics (volume/tone pots) on a strat would be able to handle this?
@IbanezGuy8826 күн бұрын
It should be fine. Generally, it's the difference in the 250k and 500k pots. HSS with 500k would make the single coils a little brighter, but if you want them a little darker in tone, you can pop a 500k resistor on that bad boy. I also think Suhr has something that allows you to switch between 500k and 250k.

I’m wondering if this will work to Roland SPD30 electronic drum pad? Thanks
@IbanezGuy8826 күн бұрын
If you're just using it to amplify the Roland, it should work just as long as you have either a 1/4 output but the eq will vary the sound. If you want no eq, you can use the aux input on the little guy.

Picks up a non-80's squealing chicken-choking vibrato guitar...proceeds to chocke the chicken vibrato...also really bad setup...guitar is bad... This is why you have different tools for different jobs. I am a session musician. Use my Skervesen 40% of the time, my favorite guitar btw. My strat, for practically everything else, best for those jobs, pop/funky stuff. For metal, another skerv, some of my aristides. I never sessioned with my RG. It is useless outside of hair, cheesy stuff. Fun stuff, just no demand for it. The AZ I use for tons of stuff between hard rock and fusion

My gotoh NEVER ever detunes more than a cent, after hours of trem abuse. I sold all of my floyd guitars, prestige Ibanezes included. The tone alone is worth it. I don't know what you do to your gotoh

The reissued version sounds flat , empty and to put it mildly ... cheaply. Which , however , is predictable . Such a sound as this new version, in principle, can be obtained by buying some Chinese junk with similar specifications, for about 200 dollars.. And if you could still close your eyes to a clear sound , then working with distortion is what these guitars were actually created for , in the blessed 80s .. And working with distortion is just lousy here.An empty , prickly itch . The original sounds cooler by two heads . Although it appears at the same time ..just a good - quality , genre instrument of its era .
