Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2020
- In this episode, I walk through the process of removing the stock tuning machines and properly aligning and installing a new set of Gotohs. This video wraps up the RG270 project, as well as the AxeHacks channel!
After 4 years... you surprised us with this video! Now we all can close the Circle of AxeHacks and wait until your good news are unveiled!
Glad to see a video from you man, this series of videos was really one of the best tutorials I have seen
glad you're back.
Welcome back!
I don't even remember when I subscribed but it was 2 or 3 years ago while I was looking for upgrades to an obscure tremolo unit. I figured you'd be back eventually.
This build came out great!
Can't wait to see your next project
Omg I waited so long for an update on this Ibanez mod project! This channel is the reason and inspiration behind all the Ibanez mods and build projects ive done in the past couple of years! Glad you’re back! 🙌🏼
I’ve rebuilt a couple of RG’s in the last few years and this channel (edit: and mostly this series) was an absolute godsend of good advice and ideas. So glad to see this project end, and will follow your adventures from here!
So glad you’re back!! Please make more of these!
Just wanted to say thank you for the tutorial. I upgraded my tuners on my RG7321 project.
just the video i needed...got my custom made neck...and getting ready to install the new tuners! thanks for the video!!!
Welcome back!
Can’t wait to see what’s in the future dude !
Thought you died! Lol,would be nice to see more upgrade videos!
Well, see you all in a few years. :)
I had to double take the upload date haha. So happy to see you're back man, excited for what's ahead!
I usually leave the ball end on and use it as a lock on the tuner. Then cut the other end right about where the fine tuners are. Then clamp and tune it up.
I make the same changes you do! recently acquired tuners, your video will be useful!
This is a great video man. Really informative 👏
Here's a better way to mark the holes: After you align them, take the drill bit you are going to use to drill the holes (I use a #40, which is .098"), because you want to use a drill bit that is the diameter of the shank, NOT the threads, take the drill bit in your fingers, place it in the hole and put a drill START(basically you are "spotting the hole) by turning it and actually start to drill the hole, slightly. You can never go wrong this way.
I can rest now! Thank you!!!
Busy with a RG270 project, copied your bridge upgrade.
holy SHIT finally
I search how to Install guitar pickup Aspire. Too many vids but I'm hunger to find the same as my guitar so I keep scrolling & Scrolling thank god I found your vid from 4years ago. But first I got curious to my guitar it's Aspire brand we have the same shape guitar but not the color mine is blue and I bought it for 4,700Php Here in Philippines that was my first expensive guitar.This is faith because you post this episode in the exact day today where I want to change my guitar pickup. I was cleaning the stain on my Pickup I thought the muriatic acid is good to clean the stain of guitar pickup but it's not. The gear for SweepPicking is not that good anymore so I deside to buy a new one. Luckily I found your lesson I just dowload all of your tutorial I want to memorize all before I buy pickup I'm still strugling in the wiring part but I keep rewind I hope I get the right instalation I want to show you if I'm done changing my Guitar Pickup soon. Anyway if you have time visit this channel watch my beginner play🎸😆
Thanks for the great content. Sub'd.
I guess he is single again :D
Do you have to get a specific pack of locking tuners ? Or does any work?
ok man thanks
If anyone is curious the matching finish used for this project was Cosmo Black.
WHAT YEAR IS IT!?
Holy smokes! Has it really been 4 years? I wondered where you went.
Don’t leave us 😞
How about a drilling holes in a guitar body tutorial? I can't find any good one in the internet and i think you would do an excellent job with it.
An outside question. Can an Edge Zero be put on a GRX70QATEB?
new phone who dis
Hi! I have a 1998 RG270DX that I'm hoping to restore. Do you have any idea what the locking nut specs are?! I can't seem to find what it is anywhere :(
Also - which Gotoh Tuners did you use?
If you haven't found your answer yet, the nut specs for the 270DX are 400mm (15.75") radius and 43mm wide. You can buy them from ibanezrules, also those tuners are Gotoh SG381s
Just got an Ibanez guitar with locking nuts and some kind of whammy bar fine tuners but this thing will not stay in tune what's your advice?
Watch a video about setting up a Floyd rose bridge system once you understand how it all works it’s really not that compilcated
Oo, i've always clamped the neck string locks sideways instead of the right way, just because I liked the look of them sideways lol. Oh well, i'll keep doing them sideways, no issues yet haha.
They're also curved to match the slope of the nut that the strings are on, so when you turn them sideways, you're squeezing them towards each other one specific spot in the nut. It may still work but it's not ideal for several reasons.
Where are the sound samples?
locking tuners don't lock the strings. the lock only affects string change's.
Why would you replace the tuners on a guitar with a locking nut?
7:31-edited here.
Shouldn't the tuners be staggered?
Only if you have the straight headstock like on a Fender the slanted break on an Ibby you don't use staggered.
It has a floyd rose string retainer bar which is basically a string tree.
LOL THATS NOT HOW YOU INSTALL STRINGS AND FOR 2 THEY MAKE LOCKING TUNERS THAT DO NOT REQUIRE DRILLING HOLES IN YOUR HEADSTOCK
EEEHRMAAARUUUUURGD! THIS WAS SO HELPFULL!!!!1!!!1!1!!!! LOL ROFL LMAI BFF AFAIK!!!1!1!!!!!!1111
@Axe Hacks, thanks man, this was everything i needed to install my new tuning machines.
