Also for what it's worth, I'm not even a huge fan of "djent' per se but I still love your stuff.

I didn't hwar any improvement eother...Gibraltar is a great bridge. Hipshot looks badass, though. Purely cosmetic, imo.

I've tried a gibraltar equipped guitar several times, I find that palm muting is always really uncomfortable because of that sharp corner on the side that sticks out. I much prefer the normal hardtail ibanez bridge that's on the gios. Never tried a hipshot, but it looks very similar to the gio hardtail

@@K_R_N.do you still feel this way? I’m a palm muter and I want to order an Ibanez with this bridge but now I’m not sure

@@d77sauce It's been a long time since I tried one, but I do remember it was pointy and weird. Probably not a huge deal tho

Yeah it's mostly aesthetics and that little touch in comfort. The standard bridge does just fine. But, you know, just doing what I was told to do :D

Totally. As guitarists the smallest difference is important to us. I am guilty of it myself, ha ha!

the biggest problem of Gibraltar II is, like me living in Hong Kong, the humid weather will let the bridge oxidized within a half year. Even if it is your ibanez is a prestige series, the bridge installed is the normal Gibraltar II with the same material.

At last I got the same guitar but in Subterranian Purple Metallic - just awesome! Thanks mate. It is You, who made me want the same guitar!!! What pickups would You recommend for it? Now it is equipped with the stock Dimarzio PAF7 (DP759)

@@dre1kke I pick mine up tonight!!

Joshua Salgado Welcome to the channel man! It's my first and currently only tattoo, I just had to get the jesterhead, it's the band that made me who I am!

Soulhenge yes! Definitely agree, in flames are one of my biggest influences as well. Can’t wait to see some more content🙏🏻

Recording setup was 100% identical, however the string gauge was different and could've "falsified" the result! I personally hear a tiny difference now after listening a few times, I can't feel a tonal difference however when playing.

@JX VX actually there is a pretty big difference between a tune-o-matic and a string through hardtail for example, but these two bridges are extremely close in sound. the main difference in sound is probably cause he switched to a thicker low B

@@Orion-jr6fi hello. Which bridge system has the most tone. The tone o matic or hardtail

JacK vol.2 depends on your preference

@@IronSupremacy heavier bridge with a larger contact point should equal more sustain

The hipshot sounds muddier and darker to me, though I’d probably still replace the bridge for comfort.

Raphael Takamatsu I have a JS22-7, it’s great for a first 7 string but the neck is too thick and the pickups are meh, kinda muddy for lower tunings. Otherwise it’s a great starting out 7 string guitar

i got the js22-7, i just put a nazgul pickup on bridge and its my best guitar, its my favorite one

I using a ibanez rg421 quantum pickups

Hey man, thanks :) Well some of the crunchy lead tones I made are pretty Plini-like, you may check them out on my Line 6 Custom Tone page!

Soulhenge Gear Reviews ok cool man,def will, any particular one you would suggest?

"2017 Crunchy Lea" or the "Butter Toast"! It's gotta be crunchy like breakfast

Soulhenge Gear Reviews thank man for being consistent on replying,last question , when you make your tracks,do you get a drum going first or lay guitar down first then add drums afterwards?

Just a Ride Motovlogs hipshot makes a different replacement for the basic bridge. I’m assuming you’re talking about the bridge that comes on the RG8 and RG7421?

3-way and coil split is much easier to use, good mod! Apart from a barely noticeable change in sound (which also might just be caused by the strings being fresh) there's no real reason to change it other that A E S T H E T I C S

I have the same bridge in 6 string version, but I can get the high E action 0.6mm at 12th fret. I am no luthier but the bridge should be fine in design. Maybe you should try check the neck angle, or bring it to a legit luthier to check for the real issue behind your problem.

I have the exact same guitar with the same problem I was going to swap it with a hipshot as well if you do before me tell me how it goes

Sensei Sensei I'll give it a try thanks a lot man

Yeah

Thanks dude! I didn't order the bridgr myself, this guitar belongs to a friend an he send me everything. He said he got it via eBay!

No not a at all. I really just did microscopic adjustments and it was perfect and easy.

The Aftermath has surely even more output but they are also expensive... I'm pretty satisfied with these pickups :)

Did u swapp it after all?

Not sure if Hipshot make mono rails aswell. Just check online :)

Take a look at ABM guitar parts. Most likely you look for 3210b they're 20€ each. But have a look at hole distances - you may need to move the ABM bridges to maintain your intonation and scale length.

Keisel sells some decent ones for good price

Did it make a difference after all?

@@DimKAt21 yeah it did... It gave it a little brighter tone when you picked the strings but nothing major. I'd do it again if I was gonna upgrade another guitar

@@mikebush3834 Tnx for replying friend

I love PRS and particularly the Holcomb model but the Kiesel and Prestige are top of the line where the Holcomb is still an SE. At the end of the day it just ends up being personal preference.

Brandon Kelley go kiesel man

I'd go prestige, just very good guitars but a bit plain. If you want more looks go for the PRS, they're great guitars too, imho none of them are as good as the prestige though.

Also depends on your budget I guess... Can't go wrong with a Prestige. In my opinion Kiesels are killer price/performance if you keep the specs reasonable and performance focused (not going for a 400$ top wood and such but let's say a solid finish)

I'll get to that tone in a specific video soon :)

Still patiently waiting on either the presets or how to get that tone in TH3..;) And, how are you liking the bridge swap? I ask because I've got the ibanez rg652ahmfx and am debating the same bridge swap. I'm just deciding if I want to go all silver/nickel hardware including matching pickup covers or all gold. I'm trying to decide on colour before I order the matching hipshot bridge colour. Dimarzio titans have already been swapped in and it has become my drop C tuned guitar. What do you think on colour (nickel or gold), and if the bridge swap is worth it? www.guitarcenter.com/Ibanez/RG652AHMFX-Prestige-RG-Series-6-String-Electric-Guitar.gc Side note: Fretwork on my ibanez rg652 prestige was not as good (more rough at the edges) as the other older prestiges that I own (ibanez rg2560 zex cw, ibanez rg1527). Keep up the great work! All the best!

oh this could be it! I think the Ibanez one is steel (and much lighter)

Ibanez saddles seems to be zinc alloy, try them whith magnet. They are lighter, more treble, less mids.

Dethsyndrome Offical Hi, no the 7321 have the flatplate bridge, you can get a direct fit replacement though also from Hipshot!

@@MilianMalivukMusic thanks man that just saved me from the wrong order!

Drop A!

Tristan Farfan Drop A most likely (AEADGBE low to high)

Exactly. :)

Soulhenge Awesome!

Can I walk home tomorrow ? That's about as vague as you are being

Yes!

why don't you like them? i use a floyd too but am looking to try a hipshot
