British weather sucks (NGD!)

thedonutman · 12-13-2007, 12:05 PM

Today was the last day of term, so we finished at 12 instead of in the afternoon.

So......I rushed home hoping I hadn't missed the Parcelforce man.

Apparently I did. However instead of taking it to the depot, he was kind enough to arrange a post office pick up!!

It said I needed ID and proof of address, so I got all of the essential traveling gear together. No need to bitch about the Ipod headphones, they suck I know. But they seem to be able to take a lot more punishment than my In-ear ones- Perfect while walking.

Finally got home after climbing up the HUGE hill that I live on.

*Begin playback of epic Lord of the Rings music as camera pans through room*

DUN DUN DUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Devo was extra safe and packed the whole thing disassembled.

Guitar, Post-screwdriver

Guitar, Post-Stringing, Metalage in progress.

The Ibby collection (Following in Stich's Ibanez Elitist footsteps)

Isn't it ironic that the only picture that shows the guitar's true colour is a crappy quality one?

More pictures, including this one which seems to have focused on the floorboards directly behind the guitar.

Its hard taking decent pictures without natural light.......

Still trying to figure out the wiring config, and why it sometimes randomly cuts out. I'm waiting for Devo to get back to me on that one.

The Blaze Custom and the PAF have seriously highlighted my need for a pickup swap in the RG570.

The guitar plays totally awesome, apart from the fact that the low A is so thin and flabby that If I pick hard enough I can bend it up to a C

Awesome. Sell it to me.

Why is the neck pickup on the wrong way round?

And where is the truss cover?

Hmmm? Hmmm?

thedonutman · 12-13-2007, 12:09 PM

Don't know about the neck pickup, I don't really use it

I'll ask Devo (the guy I bought it from) about it later

As for the truss rod cover, I took it off while planning on making some adjustments. And then I realized it didn't need any.

Congrats!

Sweet acquisition man!

I've always REALLY wanted a VK 7620. You're not helping either. I kinda miss my old BK one now, that fucker went through a lot.

Hmm, probably has it wired to use the inside coils as an option on the switch. Flipping one of the pickups would let you use coils that are hum-cancelling.

If you mean on the 5-way, position 2 should be inside coils.

With the stock pickups, which had the neck pickup oriented with the wire coming out the cavity side of the pickup. If you do that with an AN7 or PAF7 it puts the screw poles towards the bridge.

I know, I had an AN7 setup this way in the 7620 I used to own(though it has more effect with the AN-7, as that pickup sounds different turned around, subtle though).
