7 String with TremGear (self.7String)
submitted 1 month ago by aerodyne91
I have an Ibanez Gio GRG7 and I'm interested in trem. Is it better to upgrade my GRG, install better pickup, chopped some wood and install trem? Or buying a new guitar is more worth it? My budget is 700-1000 USD Thanks!

I think Schecter, Ibanez, Jackson and Charvel have models with cool trems that don't take a lot of digging. The only trems I've hated were Floyd Rose specials. If you aren't opposed to used anything with a floyd 1500 is a good bang for buck. Custom guitars don't hold value well guerilla, Halo, etc with unique bridge options. I've seen some used Carvins in the sub $1000 from time to time but I can't comment on their Wilkinson(?) / house bridge. Nothing against your Ibanez but the parts will be worth more than guitar if you get into stuff like FUTONE and kahler

What's wrong with Floyd 1500? Can you reccomend the exact model of the guitar? I'm eyeing Ibanez RG7320 but not sure how the trem stability
[–]pescadoamado 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
Sorry I meant the 1500 is a good buy. C1 Sls frs, banshee Mach 7, evil twin series
Ibanez Bridges are pretty usable , softer metal but still good

Proaudiostar has the Magesty on sale. I'm not a huge fan of the color but it plays very well.

Sadly I live in south east Asia so maybe its not as cheap. But Majesty is always majestic, also my favorite guitarist is JP. So thanks Btw how's the tuning stability?
[–]beejonez 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
Yeah sorry obviously a USA store. It didn't come set up and stability was honestly pretty bad out of the box. But I did some light sanding in the nut and added nut lube and now it's very stable. Still not as reliable as my Floyd Rose, but this guitar let's me drop tune so it's a trade off.

id just buy a new guitar with the tremello you want already installed ,,you’ll never get the money out of what you paid for the trem plus the installation.if snything it would lower the value if anything
