We've just recently done some upgrades to this Ibanez Artist Series. We installed two amazing sounding Bareknuckle humbucker pickups, including a full rewire with the installation of two CTS push/pull potentiometers for coil splitting. We also installed a new Schaller bridge and tune-o-matic which did not fit the original post spacing and thus, required some out-of-the-box thinking to make everything fit without irreversible modification to the beautiful Schaller parts. Enjoy the final product!

❤️ The stunning Nord Electro 2 Seventy Three has graced our workshop, seamlessly blending into our company colors. With its vibrant presence, it came in for spiking keys and a full service.

Humbuckers deliver a warm, noise-free tone, while single coils offer clarity with a touch of brightness—though they can hum a bit. What's your go-to? Humbuckers or single coils? Share your preference with us! 🎶 🎸
