Here’s my Jackson rrxt 24-7 with dimarzio John Petrucci rainmaker and dreamcatcher pickups 🤘🏻

Opinions on solar guitars?

I play a lot of dropped 7 string stuff and I love a Floyd and I do a lot of technical leads as well, so I’m just really wondering what would catered more to my style of playing.

Is this worth it as a first 7 string? I’m in love with the way it looks, and I love the fluence and sustaniac that it has. I’m all in for the features, and looking for an axe with a sustaniac, split coil and a floyd. Is this a good option, or are there any better alternatives. Looking to spend no more than 2000!

Should I grab this and route an Evertune in it?

Hey friends,

I am looking to upgrade a few components on my 2024 Ibanez RG7421EX that I picked up on marketplace. Looking to upgrade the following:

- Pickups: I tried to like the Quantum but I think I hate them, so likely doing a Seymour Duncan Nazgûl 7 in the bridge and haven’t made up my mind on the Neck.

- Bridge: specifically, are there any good drop in, no drill options to replace the Ibanez F107 bridge? If it requires drilling or routing, in am not going to consider. The bridge feels fine but I have heard that swapping the bridge on these guitars can make a huge improvement.

-Nut: going to a graph tech nut burning anyone know the specific model, that would be super helpful. The plastic nut is whatever.

- Tuners: the tuners are bottom of the list because the current ones work. But they do suck. And similar tot the bridge, does anyone know the specific models that will drop in without drilling? Doesn’t have to be the standard brands if there is something good out there but a bit cheaper.

And the only other things I am considering is deleting the tone knob, putting the volume where the tone is and filling the hole. I have a killswitch on my 8 string and have yet to use it so I am not sure interesting in installing one. I might replace the switch and pots while swapping the pickups. And then maybe seeing if the shielding could use some updating because this guitar is noisy as hell under gain.

Thanks so much for the advice!!!
