ryan_the_guitarist's Metal Music Gear Setup
[RTG#001 XANTHEE] The official number 1 guitar (technically my 3rd guitar). Bought in a small pawnshop in the city of Jakarta, This guitar remains my number one since October 2021. This was originally an Ibanez JEM JR but has now become an incredibly heavy modded one.
Lot's of changes were done, A few switch changes, a set of new pickups, a new tremolo & locking nut, a re-fret, new tuners, a new pickguard, and some fret scalloping.
I had to go back & forth with Switches, Some were old but good switches and some were just shit. I had an OLX Switch in there, A Grigsby Super Switch 5 way, and the stock switch too. Until, I bought myself a Grigsby 5 way and used that ever since.
The tremolo is now a GOTOH GE1996T in Gold and the Locking Nut is a GHL-2 in Gold, The Pickguard is a custom made 4ply White Pearloid Pickguard made by Asia Guitar Labs, The scalloping in the last 4 frets were done by Asia Guitar Labs, The pickups were made by Ray Tone Lab Pickups (RTL Pickups), and the Re-fret was to Jescar 57110-S Jumbo Sized Stainless Steel frets and was done by Desmond Music.
