Washburn WG587 Question.....

7soundz · 01-24-2007, 04:11 PM

hi guys, I have a question, I am new here, and relatively new to 7 strings, I am thinking of buying the washburn WG587 and upgrading the pickups to PAFs or Blaze Custom and Air Norton. for any of you with experience with this guitar, are the pickups easy to change on your own? or do you need to make alterations to the guitar body? any comments? suggestions?

I have a WG (in the color they don't make anymore, Red). It's a good guitar for the money. It has grover tuners and Alder body. The neck is a bit thicker than an RG7321, but still very playable.
For the pick-ups you'll have to know how to solder, so if you have don't experiance with that, then maybe find a shop to do it for you. If your feeling brave maybe find a diagram. If all you want to put into it is PAF's or Blaze, then no, you won't have to alter the body. If you want EMG's then yes, you will. Hope that helps some man.

you dont find a wiring diagram for the guitar, you find it for the pickups. Dimarzio provides wiring diagrams but I feel that their online diagrams are so clear it's practically hard to not be able to solder.
