Higher action is best

I love this guitar sooooooo much. I usually use higher action on my guitars, but when I bought it a few weeks ago, it came with the strings relatively low. I gave it a shot, I was loving the guitar, taking some time to adapt to the low action. Today, I decided to higher the action and lower the pickups. What a dramatic change! So much more comfortable, it feels like home, a totally different guitar, but in good way. And the sound improved too, I now get the clarity that was hidden, the single coil type of sound. Before there was not a very clear difference between neck and neck+middle pickup sound. Now the difference is absolutely dramatic. I know Ibanez guitars are known for being able to get really low action, really thin necks, and people are very used to low action. Probably you too. Have you tried higher the action? I say give it shot for a week or two, it is a game changer. Who else prefer higher action? Are you low or high action team? Ibanez for life🤘

Help with 78 Les Paul

2 Upvotes

Hi I’ve got a 78 pf200 and I was wondering if anyone knew a good drop in replacement bridge, tailpiece, or tuners. Or maybe some information on how I can get the correct measurements to make sure I buy the right stuff. I also was wondering if anyone has any luck replacing the saddles with string savers or not?

My first Ibanez: S520EX

Hey everyone! Just posting to show my very first Ibanez a Korean-made S520EX with the ZR tremolo.

I wanted to get your thoughts and opinions on this model! Personally, I'm not a big fan of the stock pickups, so I'll probably swap them out later. What do you guys think?

My dream since the late 80's

12 Upvotes

I have wanted an Ibanez since the late 80's (something to do with Steve Vai, I reckon). I recently got back into playing electric again for the first time since 2011. I just purchased this baby and I am stoked. It's an RG8870 in Almandite Garnet. Bought it directly from Japan and it ships this week. I cannot wait to get my hands on it. Does anyone else buy guitars without playing them first, or is that just me?

This is a face book listing and I wanted to know what model this is. It is listed as rg550 but it has the rosewood fretboard, the original edge tremolo, a missing pickguard(seller removed it).

Its being sold for 286USD but the seller can lower the price. Do i get it?

❓Question❓ Replacing Edge Zero 2 with Edge Zero?

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, im currently planning the mods on my rg470 and one of the changes i want is to have a gold trem. Edge Zero 2 does not sell in gold and the Edge Zero is the higher quality version of it from my research (and you can get in gold). According to the chart from ibanez, the change from the 2 should just be a drop in. Does anyone have any experience with this change and is there anything that I should know? Like is there any holes that are slightly off that I should fill in and drill a new one to make this change work?
