RG 7321 - Upgrade ?!? What to get?

Guitarholic · 08-02-2007, 02:24 AM

Hey guys,

I would like to get some upgrades for my RG7321. What tuners do u recommend?
Maybe even a new bridge ?!?

Thx

The first thing I'd upgrade is the pickups! I think Grovers require the same routing as Gotohs, so I'd probably go with some Grover minis myself. Not sure about the bridge.

You could probably use some string savers or Ghost saddles, (for piezo) but I wouldn't get a while new bridge.

Get pickups man - the guitar sounds so much better with upgraded pickups.

Check out the pickup selection guitar at the top of this forum.

Maybe I should have mentioned that I already got new pickups... EMG 81-7 in the bridge and EMG 707 in the neck position.

Get some Schaller locking tuners. They make tuning/string changes really easy.
You could also replace the nut and replace the saddles with graphite variants.
You could get the frets leveled and crowned.

I used to have a 7321 with schallers and it was great.

^ Actually, I've heard graphite saddles don't sound so great. That's just what I've heard, though

They actually make the strings more transparent sounding, I dont know how to put it other then that. However its not enough difference to really effect the tone in any large way. I can say this, ive never had a string pop from the bridge since. I'd also second the schaller tuners, smooth, stable, and easy string changes.

I'd get piezos, I've got them in my 7321 and its great
