Was at Beez's yesterday for an electronics make-over for the guitar seen here- my Ibanez RG2610.
Culprits: 1) Dead volume pot. Contact spray couldn't cure this. Discarded. 2) Corroded input jack, thought it was my cable but it had been this one all along.
Subtle changes along the way 😎
A set of GHS 9s in there & it's as good as ever.
Was raining, so a good serving of latte while waiting.
For a good dose of metal-esque, over-the-top distortion, the Seymour Duncan Full Shred in this guitar always comes up tops. Initially, I thought this pickup was solo-inclined as the name suggests but it's a diabolical riff monster given the right amp. This is one of my guitars with a good inherent sustain & is a perfect example of a bolt-on construction having very little to do with a poor performance in this aspect.

How did you obtain that grey finish on the pickup? Sticker?
Converting my HSS superstrat into solitary H, but pickup dilemma - Invader or Satchur8?
@ijau what kinda tone are you after?
@Emmanuel- yes, bro mere sticker :-)
Thanks a lot buddy
bro sub - Swedish/Finnish death metal sound... Invader is it?
Have you been patronising Jockomo for the pickup stickers?
@ijau- that Swedish distortion tone is actually the BOSS Heavy Metal pedal :-) Just get decent high output pickups, bro...
@Benedict- no... :-) those guys do inlays stuff
