I play at the end of this video, and all of my intros (reading vids, Ziggy time, etc). I have some new songs I'll put up in the future. Thanks dear Lora.
I too like the mixture of black cosmos and the gold. My friend has 10+ guitars so while I don’t know much about the instrument, i know this is the most gorgeous one I have seen
Thank you dear KB. I like different finishes, wood grain has always looked so beautiful to me. I love silver or nickel the most, I only have a couple with gold. Take care.
Nice Job! The Jr is a great modding platform. I gave mine an "Evo" cosmetic makeover but kept all the electronics standard (I like the Quantums!). I thinned and reprofiled the back of the neck to match my MIJ Jem and scalloped frtes 21-24. New scratchplate & back plate. Biggest improvement to the sound was adding a 33mm Brass Block to the Trem. I highly recommend that. The Jr sustains 30% longer that my MIJ now..
It sounds like you did some great mods. Scalloping the fretboard is way above my skill but must be awesome. The quantums are nice. Where did you get the brass block? Thanks for your great comment.
@@Dagonhills Scalloping isn't as tricky as you might think. Just use a round file and then a pencil (or screwdriver shaft) wrapped in successive fine grades of sandpaper. Just don't go deeper than approx halfway to the side dot marker. I got my Brass Block from a UK eBay Seller. Might be easier & cheaper for you to get from the US. Any 34mm block designed for a Floyd Rose should suit you. Happy Shopping and Good Luck!
i have the white one as well. I loved modifying or upgrading it. I put on a black tortoise pickguard, black German Floyd, w/ the nut, and I had black locking tuners so I threw those on there as well. I also had some extra Dimarzio's laying around, so I put in a SD3 in the bridge, a Paul Gilbert injector in the Mid and an Evo in the neck. I sounds amazing. I'm thinking about getting the yellow one now.. Been itchin' to get a guitar to modify again...
Sounds awesome, I put a black pearl pickguard on my silver tele and it looks so cool. Modifying can be addictive, I've done a few rewirings with new pots and pickups, sometimes even minor things but it makes the guitar feel like mine. A yellow one would look great. Take care.
I have same one buddy,and I have just gave it some love it all jem jr needs,I leveled the frets and crowned them all,polished them oil fret board came up bloody great can get really low action like I could go low E 1.5mm if I wanted but I set it 2mm as I prefer that for my preference high E 1.4mm absolutely brilliant kneck is dead straight no need to play about with it,,pickups all I hear is people moaning about them but I think there ok for now but I want to upgrade to Seymour Duncan pickups as I like black winter ones as it's my preference again but quantum pickups are really ok to be fair! They sound very much good for ibenez factory pickups,,the tremelo system is cheap yes! But it's ok to get u going,if u get ur guitar in tune right new strings on obviously stretch them very good tune it up stretch them repeat until it stays in tune,lock it down tight not to tight though! And the trem definitely stays in tune after all the dive bombs I really killed it really destroyed it and still it was in tune,but I will upgrade to the gotoh 1996te as I have heard there better solid than OFR! Get a good amp i have Marshall code 50 for in house and it will sound a great guitar why people moan i dont no nothing wrong with jem jr for the price u pay for it mahogany boady ect cant complain i love mahogany great tone so warm and rich
I went a little crazy on the upgrades but it was a fun project. One guy said to buy a brass block for the tremolo but it's probably better just to buy a better quality one as over time I hear this one wears out. I don't play with tremolo, I usually like hardtails. I blocked my Strat. I have a Marshall DSL40 but also a Code 50, and I use that one for my recordings as it is so versatile. I set it up with all different sounds and I'm good to go. Take care.
I think I got them from a site named Ibanez Rules, it's a guy that sells everything Ibanez. Frets on gge Net also makes Ivanez truss rod covers, he's a reallt nice guy and does great work.
Hi, I'm not sure about the middle single coil but I read that the neck and bridge are 15k and 18k respectively, and have ceramic magnets. The middle has an Alnico magnet. They are called Quantums made by Ibanez in Indonesia, never heard another name. Take care.
Thanks! Had to ask as I just acquired a 2015 Jem Jr with two Ibanez Quantum humbuckers - but those are two neck pickup models (3PUQMN4 and 3PUQMS2) measuring at ~7.3k, and with ceramic magnets. YMMV I guess... (Middle single coil measured 5.1k BTW.)
If you are changing the pickups I think it's best to replace the pots too. You can buy high quality ones that will last and perform better for a super long time. They aren't too expensive. I also replace the wire with quality wire. On my P bass it had mini pots that just fell apart from being old, never played it as much as my guitars. The new pots have a great feel too.
@@Dagonhills nice 1 thanks for that,I will change them now thanks buddy I wasnt sure but now u have said I'll take ur advice many thanks for ur advice it means alot,I'll replace the pots and wiring as I no jem jr will have cheap ones in them,,thanks buddy
@@Dagonhills sorry to be a pain what would u say to get there are lots of pots like alpha 18mm ect I'm not sure what ones are for jem jr and are the high quality buddy
@@paulyoung4781 I used CTS pots, they are nice quality and not too expensive, for the Jem they are probably metric size otherwise they won't fit in the pickguard holes. 500k are for humbuckers, and the shafts shouldn't be the long ones. They can be found all over online. I kept the same switch as a replacement was harder to find. There is an Ibanez only parts guy online, I can't remember the name but if you search his site should come up. Take care.
I've never seen this plate for sale other than on different instruments but they sell one with the complete custom shop logo online, not sure if it's official but it looks awesome. On amazon they have some cool ones, and ones with the "F" logo, and Fender Corona California on it.
I had it custom made online, I tried one from ebay but the holes were off. I had to send the outline and the place had the exact outline, can't remember the place but any custom place can do them. This one wasn't cheap but it's nice.
Mine is also a 2016, same color. Picked it up mint at a pawn shop, with HSC for:______? $300 bucks! I don't like the floating tremolo, so it's getting blocked off soon.
@@Dagonhills thanks, you too. My Wolfgang's Floyd Rose is down only, and I'm too used to it that way, besides my pick hand is heavy, so I tend to rest it on bridge, which throws it out of tune.
@@Scottocaster6668 I never had luck with tremolos staying in tune, even on my American start one touch and it was out of tune. I've always prefered hardtails.
@@Dagonhills I get them set up by my guitar guy, who is really good at it. My strats tho, I screw bolts into the tremolo hole, and have 5 springs in the back to keep it from moving. Hardtail for sure with those!
@@Scottocaster6668 That's cool. I put the springs as well but wanted to block it, the American was a hassle as the tremolo block had two angles so the wood block took a while to shape. I don't know if it makes a difference but my strat gets great sustain and is super stable. Some people put cardboard lol. Take care.

Very nice looking guitar you've got there dude, nice job of the customised parts, it really does stand out 👍🤘
Thanks so much. I got carried away but it was a fun project. Take care.
@@Dagonhills I can only imagine, I also get a bit carried away at times, in search to perfect my guitar,s, but hey! Whatever makes us happy, 😃👍🤘
Very nice!!!
Thank you dear Foxy! Have a great day.
Love the video

My husband loves Ibanez also
The second good guitar I ever got was an Ibanez years ago. Thanks for watching.
Dagonhills awe that’s cool I tried to play but my husband isn’t a good teacher lmao
Would you happen to know the DC resistance of the original pickups? (And what type name they had other than Ibanez Quantum...)
Hi, I'm not sure about the middle single coil but I read that the neck and bridge are 15k and 18k respectively, and have ceramic magnets. The middle has an Alnico magnet. They are called Quantums made by Ibanez in Indonesia, never heard another name. Take care.

Just quick question,if changing pickups would it be worth while changing the pods too buddy I really have no idea

I also replace the wire with quality wire. On my P bass it had mini pots that just fell apart from being old, never played it as much as my guitars. The new pots have a great feel too.

wow, hello, can you provide me the purchase address of the back cover and the cable compartment cover? I can't find a suitable option.
I purchased the back and cable cover at a parts place called Ibanezrules.com. Take care.
Edge Tremolo is the only thing that could change that guitar
Yes, I just didn't want to put more money into it. Thanks for watching.
Where can I buy that back plate?
I've never seen this plate for sale other than on different instruments but they sell one with the complete custom shop logo online, not sure if it's official but it looks awesome. On amazon they have some cool ones, and ones with the "F" logo, and Fender Corona California on it.
Where are you buy the pickguard ?
I had it custom made online, I tried one from ebay but the holes were off. I had to send the outline and the place had the exact outline, can't remember the place but any custom place can do them. This one wasn't cheap but it's nice.
@@Dagonhillsdo you remember the website where you got it made from?
The pickups are Dimarzio . . .
Yes, DiMarzio Gravity Storms in the neck and bridge, and the middle is a Evolution. Take care.
Mine is also a 2016, same color. Picked it up mint at a pawn shop, with HSC for:______?
$300 bucks!
I don't like the floating tremolo, so it's getting blocked off soon.
That is a great deal, especially with the case. I usually block the tremolo but didn't on mine yet. Take care.
