Good to know. Cheers Greg :guitar:

Sweet. Is there any way of identifying bad frets? Or is that oversimplifying it?

I'm interested in trying my hand at it anyway. This might be a silly question, but is it possible for the strings to buzz due to a back bow, then to loosen the truss and eliminate the fret buzz, but the action is too high, then to lower the action using the bridge and have the action back to...

That was beautiful :p Thanks though. I'm gonna sit down with it properly later on. I'm pretty much getting that I need to loosen the truss rod to bring the neck back to normal, and then adjust the bridge to lower the action back down. If it's still ballsed up I'll just have to bite the bullet...

Well I just had a bit of a run at it. Loosening the truss rod made the buzzing a little bit better, but the pinch harmonics are still dying very quickly, and it was at the expense of the action.... The action on the guitar isn't super low or anything, but it definitely felt horrible when it was...

Hi all, I'm thinking of doing some work on my guitar myself, and I'm mainly looking for thoughts/opinions/advice. The guitar is an Ibanez RGA121 Prestige, like this: The first thing is a repair job. I may be wrong on the terminology, but I believe there's a back-bow on the neck: basically...

Sorry for the delay. Electronics-wise, she's working beautifully, tone knob and all! I don't know exactly what the issue was, my sister collected it and I didn't get a chance to ask him. But while I was in the shop when I brought it in, it seemed to look like a wire came loose. His wiring was a...

Just got word back that it's ready and there's no charge. Hopefully all is in order. I'll report my findings

I'd probably end up discovering a way to solder a wire to human skin...

Hey guys thanks for all the input, sorry I took so long in getting back to ya! I brought the guitar back to the same guy who put the Blackouts in the guitar back at Christmas. Here are some of his lines: "It's an internal wiring problem" (I had then informed him that nobody had touched any...

The jack itself was replaced and still has the exact same problem though?

The exact same connection, with the 3 wires in the exact same way. Could it be the battery?

No I'm using a standard TS instrument cable. Yeah it's an active guitar. Got Seymour Duncan blackouts put in around Christmas time. It was working fine until about a week ago

Hi guys, long time no see! I'm having an issue with my RGA 121 Prestige at the moment. Whenever I plug the cable in all the way, there's no signal (well, there's the very faintest sound - barely audible below all the noise). When I pull the cable out a small bit, I get full signal. I've...

Probably intended for big studios that always switching daws
