SD Blackouts Question

PlagueX1 · 04-08-2008, 06:58 PM

So I'm going to be having a Ibanez Xiphos 7 coming here pretty soon. It has D-Activator pickups in it, so I'm wondering about Blackouts now. Now I'm not completely sure on weather I will change to Blackouts from this guitar, but its definently a possibility. (I love actives)

So my questions are. The standard sized Blackouts would work with this correct, without having to do any routing that is.

Also, now I have never changed from passives to actives. For this I would need new pots, correct? If so where could I buy them? If you can add anything else in please tell me.

Everything is included in there. All you need to do is know how to solder and follow a diagram.

Everything is included if you buy'em new.

I think Zimbloth is a SD dealer if you want shoot him a PM, I'm sure he will hook you up with a good set of BO.

you MIGHT have to do a little routing around the ears, and possible a little depth routing. nothing you couldnt actually handle with a steady hand, a hammer, and a chisel actually. I had to work my carvin, and with a dremel tool it took me maybe 20 minutes to get it done while keeping it looking nice and sharp.

it comes with everything you need, except a 3 way blade. iirc the xiphos has a 5 way blade by default, and youll want to replace it with a 3 way. other than that, the blackouts come with the pots, wires, jack, and everything else you'll need
