Re-string: Ibanez RG2228A


Managed to re-string this Ibanez RG2228A which isn't mine. The original action was good so no re-visiting that.


The difference between a re-moisturized (shiny) & dry fretboard parts & that was taken care off as well.


Selected Ibanez Prestige models are equipped with Collet knobs. These are locking models with rubber grips. If you aren't sure how these work (requires top cover removal), please do not force parts removal. I know a store here who damaged the knobs due to a lack of knowledge. The only reason these were dismantled was to access the pots for some contact spray application. These were beginning to feel stiff & have a real potential to die. That's right, my re-string service includes some value-added options which are within my means (subject to your permission, of course). 

Wishing everyone a good week ahead.  👍

Ibanez RG2228A

I have plans to get Ibanez's RG2228A- I already own the RG2228 but it's the EMG version. Having a set of passives in there would be good for me (not an EMG fan but they sound good in the RG2228) but this white version is regional exclusive, it won't be available here off-the-shelf... PFFTTT...

Ibanez 2012: RG2228 ver passive

Also on my acquisition radar, the RG2228 with passive pickups; DiMarzio's D Activator 8. Yes, I know, it's another black option but this black is glitter-free unlike the RG2228 GK.
