BUDGET METAL GUITAR FULLY UPGRADED - New Bridge, Pickups, Electronics...

This is the 3rd video I've made about this Jackson JS32 Series Rhoads V that I bought used for $220. I finally have the guitar in its final form with new pickups, new wiring, a new bridge and nut, and even new strap locks!
Anything else I should add? I think it might be done!

Enjoy it. Keep it as is. Don’t overcomplicate it with kill buttons/switches and coil splits. Let it shine as what it was designed to do: Metal.

[@TheWolvesCurse]

this!

[@3badthebad]

true, but a killswitch doesn’t sound half bad now that u mentioned it 🤔

[@MainPrism]

I was also thinkin about a killswitch. I just love em the option, especially on a guitar with a floating trem.

[@mercilessforever]

Do u have one? I do and he wasnt wrong with upgrading the pick ups lol im doing emg 89-85 on mine

[@alanpicazo]

Why not? Middle position with split neck plus full bridge is the best clean metal tone I've ever had

[@lempuujjj2877]

I too love using budget guitars more than expensive ones . I had a squier standard Stratocaster, slapped a Floyd on it and Seymour Duncan JB and some locking tuners plus refrets and quite surprised 9,5 radius necks are really really comfy and fast ! Wow

[@rubberthe3]

Hi, if you don't mind, could you tell me what you did to throw a floyd in it? Was it a direct drop at the bridge (and the routed nut ofc)?

[@lempuujjj2877]

@@rubberthe3 I let my luthier friend route for the tremolo system but I didnt change the nut and instead just installed locking tuners in it. Locking nut just gives the guitar more complexity to handle and use but without the nut and only the locking tuner u can not only keep ur guitar in tune but also drop d and restring easier. Got idea from Guthrie Govan .

[@HighVybeTribe]

@@lempuujjj2877 sounds really cool 😎

[@jcb355]

@@lempuujjj2877 I scratch a graphite pencil into the nut with a drop of 3-in-1 oil, work the trem aggressively, then tune up. The graphite-oil lube keeps the strings from snagging in the nut and it stays in tune even after full-sag dives.

I put a set of those pickups in an epipphone sg 5 years ago and i have loved them ever since for their midrange.

[@danielshafer3227]

I blocked my green quilt top JS32 dinky a while ago. This has given me the inspiration to overhaul my tremolo and bring my Jackson back to life! Thank you Guitar Maxx.

[@edwinstovall3334]

I have one suggestion for you: Try one of Guitar Fetish's brass and steel Floyds!🤘 I have two of them, and yes, they do make for a heavy guitar ... but together with those titanium parts, it should be a real killer! Should be a real improvement over the zinc in the Floyd Special!😎❤️️🎸‼️

[@jwguitar]

GFS always seems to make really good quality guitar parts. I have always liked their pickups and their tuners are really solid.

[@symbolicacts6056]

How well does the GFS floyd hold tuning?

[@edwinstovall3334]

@@symbolicacts6056 They seem to do a decent job. Of course, I've had to change the entire system, meaning the locking nut also. I'm not sure what the nuts are made of, and I was not able to use the units that came with the GF Floyds because they top-mounted and my guitars use the OG rear-mount method. They hold tune better than my old Kahler Spyders, though!

[@TarynnElizabeth619]

Max, Did you also upgrade the block or the springs on the tremolo? I would put a bigger brass block on there, and upgrade the springs with Lloyd Rose quiet Springs.

[@al23x56]

Hey Max, cool video and upgrades! Did you have to replace the posts when swapping the tremolo or you just re-used the original posts? Also, the FR special (ebay) looks like no longer avail., any suggestions where to get one with titanium part upgrades, US or UK? Or, any other tremolos which would be a direct swap, like perhaps Gotoh GE-1996T could work as a suitable replacement?

[@tolerbearALTII]

I can't find the titanium upgrades for this bridge. Would it be the same thing for the stock bridge? Anyone? Thanks!

[@lostangeleschronicles]

I have a grey left handed JS32 Rhoads and I tried to replace the licensed Floyd with a Floyd Special except I bought it from the Floyd Rose website along with the titanium blocks, ect. I tried putting it on and it wouldn't align with the mounting screws then the high E string wouldn't align with the fretboard. Now I'm thinking about just putting the licensed one back in and replacing it with the titanium stuff because I was breaking strings.

[@fuckingcadillac1]

Seeing and hearing the before and after is like swapping out a small block Trans Am to a big block Trans Am. Killer sound.

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

I like your analogy!

[@Jeymez]

small block are faster generally being lighter weight

Hi Max, quick question: could you please make a video that shows how to replace the trem on this Jackson with a Floyd rose original? Thank you!

[@michalsto]

Hi there! I don't think you will answer because this is an old video but I've been wanting to swap out the Floyd on my guitar (i have the same one) and im not too sure about what size nut will fit in there... Thought I'd try to ask. Thanks!

[@tolerbearALTII]

I couldn't find Floyd Rose Special with that link. Is there another link with the upgrades?

[@rowanmurphy5239]

Can't find that bridge anywhere. Shame. Great value.

[@iksoknivek4056]

Hey max. I had to scroll a bit to find this video. I got a similar Jackson but in lefty. It's the gun metal grew one. I added a Lefty Gotoh 1996t, Black Winters, a right handed Jackson neck from a King V, which I sanded and added a new Jackson logo, Gotoh nut and tuners. It's now a budget, kinda shred machine. You inspired me to make what I wanted.

[@matthewhale9831]

So apparently BC Rich just released a new legacy series Gunslinger, but I’m pissed off because it’s $3000, the one from 2009 was like $300 and I never got one, but now they release another one and it’s 10x the price so nobody can even afford it 😒

[@MrSlushee22]

I've got a Jackson JS32 Dinky and I've come to tgw same conclusion. I've replaced the trem with a Floyd Original and the electronics with Bourns Pots. Seymour Duncans are next and then Stainless Steel Frets.

[@jahbrake9791]

You throwing the Black Winter set in there?

[@MrSlushee22]

@@jahbrake9791 Nah, I'm leaning towards a set of Alnico II Pros... maybe the Hot Rodded Humbucker set.

[@ernestogutierrez7839]

So the Floyd Rose special is a direct swap from the Jackson License?

[@sergmo4979]

Do you know where you can find that floyde rose set up again ? I looked on ebay but couldn't find it unfortunately haha

[@johnh8053]

Couldn't you just swap those titanium parts (saddle blocks, saddle screws, string lock screw) in to the Jackson Floyd Rose? Are they not direct fit? I know in this case he got a good deal on Floyd Rose Special with those upgrades, so makes sense to swap entire bridge. But for everyone else it might be cheaper to source just those parts and swap them on the Jackson Floyd Rose. Genuinely curious if this is even feasible.

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

Yes, I think the parts would fit fine, but there are still other issues with the Jackson Floyd Rose, like the fine tuners.

[@johnh8053]

@@GuitarMAXMusic I really did not expect you to reply. Thanks for the info. I bought the same model Rhoads because of your video review and plan to do some upgrades. I love the channel, dude! Keep up the great work!!

[@christopherwoods6]

Stainless steel spring claw and noiseless springs if you don’t already have them.

[@dldissolving2005]

I have the exact guitar. At this dude's advice I upgraded the locking nut to a Floyd Rose 1000 series nut. The Jackson branded bridge is fine for me but now I'm curious about the titanium hardware. Mine is natural finish with gold hardware so when I upgrade the pickups I'm going gold Fishman Fluence classics. Also this dude is spot on regarding the neck and frets. $400 and the neck and frets quality easily rival my $1,400 Schecter.

[@gregk.9855]

What size nut did you use? R3 or R4?

[@JeffB-hf9rb]

Max, at over 100 bucks wouldn't it be better to get a Gotoh 1996t?

[@GargantuanMetal]

would you possibly be able to update the titanium hardware upgrade link? it seems to have gone dead, thats a great idea

[@junkazama9149]

did you use the kph 101 102 or h112 113 what ones did you use in neck and bridge

[@sonnic1995]

I'm doing the same modifications on the same guitar (except it's a black body with white bevels) i got the body, just the V shape part for around $80 usd, and i had a Jackson JS32 neck lying around, so far, with the hardware i wanted, minus the pickups, this guitar's been around $230 usd, i might try the GFS pickups and wiring, which will rise me up to less than $330 and i think for a "customized" guitar is an absolute win.

[@chrismeadows4216]

I like to imagine Randy Rhoads is looking down on this video and smiling... 🙂💜 The only thing I don't like very much, and this is purely a stylistic thing, is the set of Kwikplug pickups you have installed. They sound extremely saturated to my ear and not to allow a lot of bass or mid-range, or any particularly warm response. It all sounds unusually Line 6 Spider V, especially with delay over top. Honestly, I feel the stock pickups were a lot more muscular, lacking character though they may have. I appreciate you giving people an idea of how easy they are to set up and an idea of how they sound, of course. You've done the lord's work, and this channel is unerringly important, beyond a shadow of a doubt.

[@BrokenFox9]

I have 2 Jackson’s that need fr specials and upgraded locking nut.

[@xlr8r2010]

The Floyd Rose Special should be a direct replacement...I just installed a Floyd Rose Special, in my JS32 Rhoads. Thankfully...I didn't have to change the tremolo stud inserts, the studs that came with the Floyd Rose Special fit perfectly.

[@tony_n316]

I have a JS34Q with the stock "Jackson by Floyd Rose" and it is a bit of a weak point. For me, I went to Amazon and bought the titanium insert blocks for 30.00 and there was a stainless screw kit that had the 3 nut screws, 6 saddle screws and 6 locking screws for 13.00. While I was there and taking everything apart, I also splurged for the Floyd "Big Block" brass block (32mm) and the Floyd (black) noiseless springs for 16.00. You don't need to replace the block or springs if you don't want, but for 43.00 those blocks and screws significantly improved my tuning stability... And as a side benefit (similar to Maxx's guitar) the stainless and titanium look really nice against the black bridge. If you're at all interested, these are the links to the blocks and screws. www.amazon.com/dp/B00MEVC3SA/?coliid=IA1KU1PXZYQBH&colid=2E87JESDA291S&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&pldnSite=1 www.amazon.com/Locking-Mounting-FR-Tremolo-Electric/dp/B07L3QVGQX/ref=sr_1_34?dchild=1&keywords=titanium+floyd+rose+saddle+blocks&qid=1627352450&sr=8-34&pldnSite=1

Looks awesome! I think you mentioned prices of everything including the guitar but how much was it total? Would be an interesting video to see if you think for that money spent if you think there is a stock new guitar that has what you were looking for. With that said I love mixing guitars especially if you find a good base to build one you can buy a guitar but can’t buy the experience of maintaining it and upgrading it!

I have to second Max regarding the necks on these things. I got three JS32 guitars - a Kelly, a Warrior and a Dinky and on all three of these, the necks are really damn fine. A real highlight among budget guitars. Extremely comfortable , solid and very playable. I swapped the pickups and the nut and exchanged the stock trems with the Gotoh GE1996T-B. Really enjoying these axes now.

@@GuitarMAXMusic Thanks for the info, I am going to look into picking up a Special off of ebay to drop in my King V.

[@D.Guitar]

A Floyd Rose special is great. It's just the saddles. The blocks. The zink block on the bottom. .. they all need to swapped out to original/1000 series (original is forged in Germany,. 1000 is forged in Korea. Both to same spec's) this Special with the titanium upgrades is Awesome. The only thing I would do is make sure the block on back is Brass. Or some special have brass with nickel plate on it.. Sweet Axe. I'm thinking of going for a JS32kelly I also have the titanium string locking blocks in saddles. The difference between them and the standard is night and Day.

[@dracul9166]

I would've gone for a Gotoh GE1996T, brand new is a little more expensive than the one you showed from eBay but, the company is Japanese (not sure if the part itself is MIJ) and apparently they're even better than actual genuine Floyds...

[@aliascent]

The GE1996T is better, and cheaper. The Schaller Lockmeister is also a great alternative, and my favorite trem.

[@alexprowse3581]

I had one of the JS30 Rhoads and I miss it a lot. What I did to help with the neck dive was to move the strap button to the outer most top neck bolt, and that evened it out a lot

The titanium blocks are great but they will wear those zinc saddles down alot faster. You really need steel or saddles on the floyd

No they won't...what makes you think that?

[@louaguado995]

I would paint the body. White isn't very "metal" lol. 🤘🎵🎼🎸 A coil split on the tone control would give it more variety for clean tones. I owned a cheaper one than yours, it had dot fret markers and a Jackson trem, but 2 volumes and one tone. I reversed the phase of one pickup and wired a push/pull tone control for coil splits. Made the stock pickups way more versatile. Ended up selling it to a guy I work with so I know it found a good home. I miss modifying budget guitars. But I traded a bunch of cheaper ones for fewer nicer ones.

[@2livedrew337]

I really liked seeing this. I did a pickup swap on my RR JS32 and added Seymour Duncan Thrash Factors. I also changed the nut for the same reasons mentioned here, but kept the stock FR and the guitar plays and sounds insanely good now. I love Jackson’s JS32 line. Really good guitars for the price and with a little TLC and a few upgrades, you’ll get a super fast playing guitar that sounds killer. I bought everything new and spent around 600 bucks total.

After spending tens of thousands of dollars on equipment over the last 30+ years I have come to the conclusion that expensive guutars are a total waste for a hack like me. I now use a couple of JS32 series Jacksons as my core pieces. Although both my Dinky and Rhoads are TOM bridge rather than Floyd equipped. They are definitely "budget" guitars but are super solid mod platforms. As you have seen. The Jackson "speed neck" profile is an absolute joy to play on.

[@rowanmurphy5239]

Every other video demoing these pickups SUCKS. I'll never understand. They either demo THE SOUND OF PICKUPS using the mic on their cell phones, or they have the most abysmal tone imaginable, or both. But this video has encouraged me to get these pickups. Can you demo some Entwistle and Dragonfire? As for bridges, I'm going with the Gotoh GE1996T. My Jackson JS32 Will still be cheap, but it will be incredible.
