"N"GD, Ibanez RG1577 content... wait, what?

astm · 05-08-2011, 06:36 PM

Yes! I finally have my modded RG1527 back! Waited for her for 3 weeks after sending it to the luthier! (several problems happened in between from both sides, that's why it took so long :P) As I said in various threads and as I posted on another topic before, I wanted to put new pickups in my guitar and wanted a single coil, so I have a new pickup day + a new modded guitar day = new RG1577 day!!

I can't make such a thread without pics, so here it is!

before pic

after pics!

This picture shows how I can't be more happy with her!

this really feels like a new guitar! definetly a good invertion

Looks sick dude. Just confirmed to me how good white pickups look in these guitars.

That is some clean work. Congrats, man.

white pups = good

astm · 05-09-2011, 07:54 AM

Thanks for the positive comments! I still can't believe how good it sounds. Sadly, I don't have too much time right now, but I'll try to record a clip asap to show how it sounds in comparisson to the old ibanez pickups it had

Bloody_Inferno · 05-09-2011, 08:24 AM

...makes me wanna grab a hammer and chisel...

Seriously, that thing looks beyond expectations. Awesome result!

jymellis · 05-09-2011, 08:27 AM

wicked awesome! what single coil is that?

astm · 05-09-2011, 08:38 AM

It's a Blaze Middle. The guitar is fully loaded with DiMarzio pickups (Blaze Neck, Blaze Middle and Blaze Custom)

jymellis · 05-09-2011, 08:41 AM

jesus! thats like my ideal combo lol. i have the uv with the blazes and the customs in the neck and bridge of my 7620. how does the blaze neck sound with the blaze custom in the bridge??

Speculum Speculorum · 05-09-2011, 09:34 AM

Excellent! A tasty guitar with white pickups. It really shines dude.

The blaze neck has a really defined sound. Lower notes are very clear sounding. In combination with the blaze middle it gives a VERY vintage guitar sound. Loved that.

Blaze Custom is a deadly weapon. Harmonics do sound WAY better and with much more presence than before (when I had it with the Ibanez V pickups). Notes sound more aggressive and clearer.

A friend of mine also changed his RG1527 pickups (but he didn't added a single coil). Sadly, I didn't try too much the neck pickup (Air Norton 7), but the Blaze Bridge has a more crunchy sound, with out being as powerful as the Custom (Not saying it is a vintage sounding pickup, but the blaze custom is LOUD).

Hope that my little "review" is helpful

I'm not a fan of middle pickups, but damn that looks good!

Kr1zalid · 05-10-2011, 08:41 AM

This thread makes me feels wanting more to buy a RG1527 and just mod it the way you did...

Michael T · 05-10-2011, 03:06 PM
