I bought them from Maury’s music. Sell different types of bone bridge pins. If I’m not mistaken? I needed to use a reamer to make the whole a hair bigger. I don’t like the pins floating above like they’re stuck. Just a couple of turns.

Chinese

@@Donandjess0305 thanks. A lot of people online seem to dislike the switch to the Chinese factory on IBG acoustics but it's reassuring you like yours. How close is the IBG J-200 to the Gibson? Some reviews indicate that it is thin-sounding and lacks bass / not boomy like the real thing. Really not sure whether to get a J-200 or a Hummingbird.

@@F.Mercurius Love them. Feel great and play great. I always make minor adjustments to my liking(tuners, bridge pins) but I enjoy playing them

To be honest? I love the feel of the J200, but it is not as boomy at the original. I play the hummingbird more. No issues with the jumbo, just like the hummingbird better

@@Donandjess0305 thanks, good to know!

Great feeling guitar. The Fluence pickups are awesome. If you are really wanting something for high gain? Look for The Fluence Modern. These are more classic sounding pickups, and my assumption is you would be getting the same tone as what you have. I absolutely love this guitar, but it’s much lighter and slightly smaller. Check out the Ec-1000 with the modern Fishman Fluence. That will make you much happier for what you are doing.

@@Donandjess0305 How much does it weigh?

@@celpabedn about 7 lbs I believe

Hi Andy, yes, it does.

They’re very versatile. Really enjoy the line they’ve created.

@@Donandjess0305 that’s awesome

Agree. Loved the guitar. Loved the pickups, neck, and total feel. Just couldn’t get over the weight so I sold it. Really couldn’t get comfortable with it.

@@Donandjess0305 good to know... thanks!

These aren’t your normal active pickups. They have options for high gain, or regular output pickups. Great guitar!

Agreed…I’ve NEVER picked one up that wasn’t really nice..same with Ibanez….the Ibanez artwood acoustics are INCREDIBLE…especially the mahogany open pore natural finish…thing is super lightweight, and the resonance is ridiculous. If you’re into fingerstyle, blues, etc, you gotta play one…mine was $300 and if I didn’t know any better I’d swear it was at least $2k,,,outplays my Martin and My J-45…comes with really nice Grovers, bone nut….definitely check them out if you’re into shit like that

I bought a see through black last yr and am In love

I’ll tell you what. I put in some smaller tire weights in the cavity. I’m not sure the weight. Just a set I bought from an auto shop. I covered them with electrical tape and I just gigged with her for the first time BIG DIFFERENCE! Because it has so many sounds, the balance was it’s only issue. Fixed it.

Haven’t done it yet. Go to any auto store. They should have a pack for $8

It’s a very nice guitar. Just wish ESP/LTD would include a case/ deluxe gig bag with their 1000 series guitars

@@Donandjess0305 yup so true, it deserves a hardcase.

Satin. Very smooth, but shows scratches

Thank you. I no longer have it. I wrote it primarily due to the confusion of the switching between channels. It’s not coil tap by any means.

Yes! Pickups are super tight! No different than Pickups from a Les Paul!

@@Donandjess0305 Thank you!

I was a little surprised about that as well.

It’s about as heavy as a Les Paul, so tone is there from the body. Only difference are the pickups. These are active, so you’re going to get a little edgier as opposed to Burstbuckers, or The Gibson 490s. They try to tame these down as they are voiced to emulate classic PAFs.

@@Donandjess0305 im looking for that les paul standard sweet tone dont know if the fishman pickup produces that sound?

@@iwentt0jail I have a Les Paul Standard. I think it’s an edgier option.. hotter, but in my opinion? Not comparable. Still? Fluence pickups are awesome.

@@Donandjess0305 it sounds good but can it imitate the les paul if you play guns n roses solo

Nothing. Stays on voice 2

@@Donandjess0305 thanks!

Great guitar. Very well made. Awesome pickups. Highly recommend!

cmartin1959 I set it up myself. Lots of videos on the website to figure it out. Set up out of the box? A bit high..

You need a guitar tech to install it (about $500 U.S and $700 Australian Dollars)

Greg Mullins He was asking about the setup, not the install. But you're right. It's a pretty complex install that frankly? I would be nervous to have someone do on one of my guitars!!

Thank you sir. Again, if you do? Research the Evertune. It's a very easy to use, but with each string individually tuned? You need to understand the action, and tension instructions on this.

+Donnie Diaz Actually glad you have bought this up as that is the only thing that complexes me about this guitar... would you be so kind to explain to me both how it physically works and technically with this ever tune system?

+Ab Dam it, simply put, a bridge that, if set up correctly, won't go out if tune..ever. Quality material.. Not as difficult as the Floyd Rose. You're simply string and tune the guitar. Setting the action, and intonation.. Very simple. Just getting comfortable take a bit. But.. It's not bad. I loved it.. I simply sold it because I had a student who wouldn't take no for an answer. Miss it though..

+BlownPSP Evening! The Evertune is a mechanism that through no new technology, keeps the guitar in tune for a long time. The zone has two parts to it: The first one allows you to keep the strings in an area where you can keep it in tune, and you cant change the tone of the note your hitting. In other words? The more you bend it..the more you cant bend the note up. The second part of the zone allows you to bend the note up or down just like a normal guitar..but staying in complete tune. This in no way feels like a Floyd Rose. Where the Bridge on a floyd is floating above the body? The individual clamps float inside. Very comfortable for palm muting. The only downside is when you set up to whatever your tuning? You can go up and down from that tuning, but it will act like a normal guitar tuning wise. Plus? Your tension is set for that specific tuning, so there is more likely a chance to break strings. The set up take a littel time to get a hold of, but its not that difficult.hope that helps!

+Donnie Diaz Morning Donnie. Sure it helps, thanks for replying so quickly! When adjusted in Zone 2 where it is allowing the string to be bent (and heard!) , would you say that an heavy hand would still not affect the saddles to move and bend the string because of the hand palm load on the bridge? I am trying to figure out if I should stick to the usual fixed bridge (that I really like) because of my heavy picking hand du to heavy loads I put on the bridge itself via my hand palm. Personally, I would never tuned an Evertune bridge to prevent string bending to be heard. TYIA.

+BlownPSP Honestly? I'd stick with your set bridge, or even look into blocking the Floyd. I loved this guitar, but ended up selling it to a student because they really wanted it, and I really didn't have enough time to master the Evertune. Don't get me wrong..it's not like learning how to deal with a Floyd. But there's a major emphasis that you have to put on string gauge, and tension. It's my fault because I kept breaking strings. I needed to master string tension( i.e., string length,height, and tuning)..Palm muting is no different on this as it would be on a Gibson style bridge. This jut stays in tune better. Go to the Evertune RUclips page and watch the set up videos. If you have the time? I'd ya go for it. It's a great bridge for those that CB easily master.

+Donnie Diaz I do typically tuned my guitars myself, so yes I would have time to tune that Evertune bridge. So if it works just like a Gibson style fixed bridge, then I would be in business with the Evertune having an heavy hand when palm muting. I agree that Guitar is so nice. I would have buy it right away if its neck was satin or not painted. The friction between the skin and a clear coat painted neck can become... quite sticky when you're not used to it. Thanks again :) :)

Sperzels are excellent tuners,Evertune is crap!!

Each to his own. It's a great system if you plan on leaving it on a specific tuning.
