Entry Gear

RY Guitar/Dinky with PG Jim Burst

owner: Shin

2022.3.1: I purchased this guitar after being told about it when I received the guitar that was produced.
The pickguard is designed with the original manufacturer of this color in mind.
The PU was not used because I have a lot of my own stock.
The neck has a beautiful vertical grain with a wide flame grain, and the side dots are Luminray and the position marks are Pink Mother of Pearl, which matches this body color and is not seen on many other guitars on the market.
The insert block and joint plate are made of KTS titanium.
2022.3.9: A battery box was added at the workshop, the stock pickguard was modified, and another new one was made with the HSH layout based on it.
SSH extended the rear hum to also accommodate an EMG, relocated the Vol, and added a mini-switch.
I have wired it to a 9V/18V switch in case I had never tried 18V drive before and was not happy with it.
2022.9.16: I was going to install a passive circuit, but since I added a battery box, I changed it to HSH with the active circuit.
I was afraid of the noise and load on the amp when switching the drive voltage, and I decided to fix the drive voltage to 18V because I can switch to the 9V drive guitar.
The switch is used to switch from SA to 85 mode with the front PU inverted to 89.
When it is down, it is wired to run in SA mode, so it can be used as a SSH for everyday use, and when it is up, it can be used as if the front is boosted.
I had a 3S PG made as an experiment, and I tried using a white logo F.G.I Technology 3S with 1vol, 2tone 18v drive, and it was interesting because it sounded like crystal tone or chorus was always applied without the need for an effects pedal, but the distortion was devastating, so I immediately switched back to HSH. But the distortion was so devastating that I immediately returned it to HSH specs (lol).
I learned that I should use only 1 tone or 1 vol for the active.
I also changed the pegs from magnum lock to normal knobs with 05 specs.
2023.9.16: I replaced the front PU with 89R and unified the direction of the logo.
2024.10.10: I put SA-X on the center, but I found out that the concept was originally to produce 18V sound with 9V drive, so I replaced it with SA and unified all the appearance with the old logo.
2025.7.30: I replaced it with a pickguard with SSH layout, installed EMG-S/S/81TW PU, and changed the mini-switch to switch from 81 to S at the rear.
