		<title>Ibanez RG2550 pickup upgrade, part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I decided to swap the stock DiMarzio/Ibz pickup for Crunch Lab I was hoping that will keep me entertained for a while before having to change something else. But we all know that&#8217;s not how it works  



Stock neck pickup was matched well with other two stock pickups, but paired with Crunch Lab [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ibanez RG2550 bridge pickup alignment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It took me almost 3 years to notice that string spacing on my RG2550 is actually a bit wider than F-spaced humbuckers and that pickup is aligned slightly off axis towards controls. Below is a cropped photo from Musician&#8217;s Friend that shows the low E string barely crossing over the magnet pole.



Sound wise I can&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ibanez RG2550 pickup upgrade, part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After almost two years of playing with this guitar completely stock I decided to try to swap the pickups. Being a total gear slut I couldn&#8217;t resist trying out the new DiMarzio John Petrucci signature pickups. As I&#8217;m mostly using the bridge pickup it&#8217;s the one to replace first. I bought DiMarzio Crunch Lab to [...]]]></description>

		<title>New camera day!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally got myself a new camera &#8211; Canon SX200 IS. Hopefully my closeup shots won&#8217;t look as bad as they used to be   I took few quick pix to see how it performs in macro mode.

		<title>Working with shielded teflon wire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I&#8217;ll try to explain how to work with the shielded teflon wire. Below is the step by step guide with photos. Click on a photo to see more details.

		<title>Fixing Ibanez Edge arm nylon washers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This could be useful for those of you who have Edge (Pro) equipped Ibanez. The idea of replaceable washers is nice because any material will wear out after some time, so why not make it replaceable.
The only problem is that they can hold tight for two weeks before wearing enough that the trem arm doesn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Silencing tremolo springs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a typical tremolo equipped guitar we have a couple of springs that are stretched between the bridge and the body. When you hit the strings bridge and body resonate and cause the springs to resonate too. Pickups are not that far from the springs at all. In most guitars there&#8217;s no more than half [...]]]></description>
