Really excited to have finished this Ibanez RG7421 conversion for a friend of ours!! This is an early 2000 RG7421 (made with a carry over single piece maple neck from the 1999 7621’s). The 7421 from the factory is a dual humbucker guitar with no pickguard, 5 way switch, volume and tone controls. I converted it to a straightforward single pickup shred monster. -Removed existing Pickups, components, and wiring. -Installed Single Humbucker / Single Volume control pickguard on face of instrument. -Fully copper shielded all instrument cavities. -Installed new tailpiece ground wire. -Installed Hipshot 7 String Ibanez FP Guitar Bridge in black (4IBF07B). -Re-Installed original Ibanez V77 pickup in bridge position. -Re-used original Ibanez 500K volume potentiometer -Installed Treble Bleed circuit on volume control. -Wired instrument with Gavitt 22ga cloth covered wiring, used central star grounding point. -Cleaned and setup instrument in Drop G# tuning (G# D# G# C# F# A# D#) 📷 by @majorawardphotography #1428guitars #ibanezrg #customguitars #guitarsofinstagram #guitarrepair #ctsmallbusiness #grotonct #rg7421 (at 1428 Guitars) https://www.instagram.com/p/B89UQhPgBmz/?igshid=19rmhdwv9l1h
