Thank you!
I love upgrading stock Ibanez guitars, I have 4 RGs and they've all been tricked out with upgraded pickups, coil splits, etc. I never want to get rid of them.
They are like a white picture, ready for painting. Aren´t they?
10/10
The body of the guitar is 100% worth all these upgrades
That´s exactly what the costumer and I thought about it! Thanks Danel!
Just picked un an Ibanez rg6003fm for $75. and then ordered a full wiring harness kit with pots , 3 way switch, output jack everything all done up from Gunstreet then I ordered DiMarzio D Activator pickups, Hipshot HM ibby bridge, Hipshot grip lock locking tuners, Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut, Hipshot o-ring control knobs, copper shielding tape and Ernie Ball skinny top heavy bottom Slinky 10-52 strings. Will be doing a fret job on it when all tore apart as well. Leaving nothing stock lol
BUENA ONDA SUBIR UN VIDEO ASÍ, MUCHAS GRACIAS POR LA DEMOSTRACIÓN, POR TODO TU GRAN TRABAJO EN ESO!
Awesome work and skills man, rly nicely done. Applause for your work dude 👏🤘
Wow, thank you Jovan. I really apreciate your words.
@@AnjudaGuitars Always man 🤘
Rly great job done. And that guitar is a beast 😈🤘
awesome, the soldering is very clean and precise, the pickup selection is an interesting one hopefully they blended very well
Did you learn soldering? 1. solder both sides you want to join 2. put some solder to the tip of the solder iron 3. heat the thing you want to solder 4. apply solder to the HEATED thing, that is important, do not use the solder iron like some brush 5. mind the temp, avoid overheated solder, good solder shines, overheated solder is dull and that is no good.
So, use a soldering iron with a temperature regulator. Or work fast and avoid too high temp. Things can be quite easy, but you got some problems. Welding a ground wire to the Strat spring holder is a classic one. Such parts are often chromed, and chrome does not like standard soldering, you often need to scratch the chrome away at just a small spot. And then you are facing a pretty large chunk of metal, it takes a certain amount of soldering iron power to heat it up. And another worry is the wires, in the past those were copper wires. Great for soldering. Today you see metals other then copper, and those can be like hell, they refuse the solder.
Summary, stick to these soldering rules and you will get experienced. There are people capable of soldering chips with large numbers of pins. These guitars require only basic soldering, still, better do it carefully and good.
@@voornaam3191 appreciate the tips but i didnt ask for your advice and i dont know where you got the motivation to type this comment
Yamaha Guitars are some of the best quality from the Kaoisuing Taiwan Factory, they sound amazing with these upgrades. Wilkinson Vs 100, Dimarzio Evolution/Seymour Duncan Bridge and Single coil Swap out, Grover Locking Tuners, Electronics, and over kill Shielding on the Pickguard, and Cavities. Stock pickups sound pretty good, and Ive found each Guitar can sound amazing with either the Duncans or the Dimarzios, as I have done a lot of Tonal comparisons on many different models etc...I did a 90's RG 270 (Korean model) for a Family Member, Gotoh 1996 Floyd, Evolution, and Grover mini Locking tuners, that is an Incredible Machine as well with the Upgrades and Cost if you can find a Bargain on one JFYI! Keep Rocking Fellow Shredmasters!!!!
Eres una máquina Monto. Menudo trabajazo. A ver si te llevo mis hachas que tengo trabajos pendientes!
Tu si que eres un máquina!
😁 I can see myself doing exactly the same to every new my guitar bro 👍😁👊💪🤘
Impressive work! Id like to have the ability to make all this by myself!
Anyway.. are we sure that there is a relevant better guitar sound comparing to the factory standard version of this guitar? I think much of the time its a player's idea..
i had an rg with a floydrose, i hate the floating trem, i goot a harrd tail entry moodel and played it until i carved channels in the fret board with the strings, i loved that chheap thing
That's the way to do this. Nice job. Better tuners, better nut or zero fret, better bridge, active pickups, it is always worth the money. Just one thing, KEEP the original pickups, inside the guitar case. One day you might want to know how it sounds from the factory. These Ibanez pickups are not bad, thing is, there are better ones, but I think that depends on your band. When you play Buxtehude, that is not exactly Wagner.
Are you still happy with this guitar after the upgrades?
You said "leveling and polishing the frets"
But you did not level them, just polished.
Sounds great
I got the GIO spring 2009 model, called Howling To The Moon. Nice guitar.
My question is, why do SOME Ibanez guitars have tuners on the wrong side of the headstock? My first thought was: hey, a leftie? No. Who can tell me WHY the tuners are so far away from me? I feel like painting Zenabi on my GIO....
That's called a reverse headstock. Many brands do this on various models :)
My gotoh left handed locking tuner fix nicely no need drill hole😜. Just change the left handed locking tuners, knobs, SD Scarlet and scourge PUs good to go.
Estupendo upgrade, un trabajo artesanal de primera
Muchas gracias Extasys. Esto es sólo el principio! /Carlos.
Surprisingly you left the bridge original. Wouldn't it make sense at this point throw Gotoh for 55$ or slightly more expensive Hipshot Ibby?
That´s a good point replicant. Being Ibanez, the bridge is actually a Gotoh, not branded though. I´m not completely 100% sure about this, but I pretty sure that Gotoh makes the gear for Ibanez. And about the Hipshot, you are absolutly right, I just didn´t know about this bridge. Thanks for watching!
@@AnjudaGuitars Thanks for the reply and letting me know that the bridge is unbranded Gotoh! I just bought this guitar at half the price of the new one and I was thinking about the upgrades and actually looking at the Gotoh bridges. You saved me from a 55$ mistake that can go into locking tuners instead! Thanks.
Buen trabajo, pero... ¿no era más barato comprar una guitarra de gama alta?
Depende, creo que en un foro de Reddit se habla de esa configuración de pastillas sobre Caoba. Si tienes claro el sonido que quieres igual cuesta más encontrar una guitarra que sea de Caoba, tenga la configuración que quieres y ruega porque no se haga solo en color rosa chicle.
Oye, y que tal si dejamos la guitarra en manos del luthier del barrio que te conoce y sabe exactamente lo que estás buscando? ;)
Mi guitarra (ibanez rg421ahm) costo $300 dolares, solo le inverti $55 en unos locking tuners schaller, unos $30 en pots bourns y otros $90 en una dimarzio titan bridge (vendi la pastilla stock y los tuners originales que tenia en $45) asi que al final $300+55+90+30-45=$430 y tengo una guitarra a la altura de mi otra LTD de $1200, una guitarra con todo lo que tiene este video te la dan en mas de $1000 dolares asi que al final es mejor buscar buen mueble y meterle upgrades+ajuste con luthier
How come you didn't upgrade the bridge? I haven't played it but I've heard that bridge is rough on the hands. Great upgrades though otherwise!
Usually, what is rough is the screw of the saddle. There are shorter screws for that that fix the problem. I can´t remember the lentgh of the screws, but the bridge felt right on the hand. Thanks for watching!
Nice work man. An
y Ibanez rga42fm upgrade?
That would be awesome! Hope o have a chance one day
Out of curiosity, how much would an operation like this cost if I hired someone to do it for me? Also do you think a basic guitar store will do this for me?
My Guitar Center will replacea set of pickups for like $100, and that includes a set up, I believe.
Grande!!!
Tu si que eres grande. Leyenda!
Excelente trabajo...para tener una idea, aproximadamente cuanto cuesta un trabajo como este?
Wich pickups are those? Invader on the neck?
Yes, there is a Invader, and the other one I can´t remember, honestly
black knobs and black screws in pickup rings would of looked better imo
I'm really confused about your fret levelling ? You marked up the frets as if you were going to level them in the usual way with a levelling beam but the video then shows you taking off the markings with a Dremel tool. How did you get the frets level and properly crowned using just that or were you just using the Dremel to polish. I've never seen anyone level and crown frets like that. Was there a bit if the video missed out. Not criticising, just interested 😃
Good point! Just as you say, I use a beam like eveybody else to level the frets. Is not in the video because one or two earlier videos was about that. I thought there was no reason to show it again.
the knobs turned black woot
Excelente, me acabo de comprar 2 guitarras nuevas, para que es la pulida de trastes, una es el mismo modelo que esta del video, solo que en color negro y la otra es una RGIXL7, Que pros tiene pulir los trastes ? De antemano muchas gracias.
Hola Mordaz! Un traste bien pulido hace que tengas una mejor sensación a la hora de hacer bindings. Y a partir de cierto punto, también es una cuestión estética.
Buen día amigo , le cambiaste toda la electrónica ?
I wish i have same nut on my ibanez gio
why gloves during tuner key installation?
What brand of Locking Tuners where those you used & are the headstock holes 10mm holes like most Guitar's these days ??
doesn’t this guitar alr come with a graphite nut??
Are all Ibanez RG's 10 mm peg holes for tuners?
Yep. They are
Impresionante
Gracias Bichino
tengo la misma guitarra me gustaría hacerle lo mismo. ¿que costo tiene? ¿alguien que lo haga?
de que material es la cejuela ?
do they have the same nut size and saddle size for rg421?
Can you do $600 shipped? 😎
Are there any locking tuners that just drop it no drilling except the back mounting tiny screws? I really don’t want to drill out a brand new guitar if don’t have to. Do you know what the exact measurements were?, thanks
Maybe you can find some Gotoh´s or Schallers without the screw, but with a pin instead. Drill your brand new guitar, is for a good reason!
Graph Tech Ratio Tuners. IMHO they’re the best locking tuners available.
What was the wheel on the dremel? I want to try to polish my frets on my own!¡!!
You can go with felt wheel with polishing paste
not sure what the point of that new nut is the stock one is fine
Stock nut is plastic. A bone nut restores some treble and ensures that the strings won't bind to cause tuning instabilities.
@@ErebosGR lol no
@@chrischoir3594 lol you're clueless.
@@ErebosGR bone is made up of fibers and has a diffusive/damping/absorbent affect on sound. All the bone nut is going to do is muffle the sound and kill harmonics. Bone nuts are a marketing scam. Plastic has better bass and treble characteristics. Paul smith did a study on this. Not to mention if bone is not constantly being fed calcium and other nutrients it crystalizes, gets brittle and breaks. Bone is one of the worst materials you can make a nut or bridge out of. Brass is the #2 worst material.
@@chrischoir3594 DEpen what plastic is.. better graphtech
what about installing fishman fluence moderns into this guitar? I'm new to guitar stuff. Good or bad idea?
In my opinion, Fluence is always a good idea. Go for it!
I have a GRG170dx HSH from 2009, do you think that it is worth upgrading?
What are the major upgrades that I can consider..?
Upgrade it only if you are comfortable playing it. Otherwise is not worth it. Always pickups first!
He forgot to replace the bridge and to change those easily worn down cheap nickle frets to stainless steel.
I didn´t. There is a reason for all of that. That bridge, being cheap indeed, it´s exactly the bridge the costumer wanted. For the frets, they have a huge impact in the sound, and a lot of people desn´t like that typical stainless sound.
Directo del canal de wintergatanesp para encontrarme que trabaja en una guitarra como la mía (estéticamente al menos, la mía es una grg)
Hola Diego! Gracias por pasarte. A mí me encanta Ibanez, me las compraría todas!
"RGRT421"
😀🤘👍✌
why staggered tuning machines ?? you dont need for this guitar ??
What for? It's the finish that need to change
What do you mean Cee? The finish?
Just shut up mate 🙄🙄
Made in indonesia
It'd be a good usable video if you explained what you were doing instead of the useless tunes in the background. That ruins this whole vid and is just about unwatchable with the sound.
Agree
I guess this guitar had covid, hence those gloves.
