Some questions about my guitar (Ibanez RG 321MH)

[hminh87]

Like the thread's name, the guitar model is Ibanez RG 321MH.

Question about pickups:
The two humbuckers on my guitar are named INF3 and INF4. Is there anything special with them that I should know of?
Is it really true that humbucker pickup can't give a clean sound and the opposite for single coil pickup can't give 'wet' sound?
Is it a good idea to rewire one of my humbucker and make work like a single coil? That way I will be able to jam blues and heavy metal sounds with the same guitar. Is it even possible? :rolleyes:About Strings and Bridge:
I've noticed the string height differ greatly on the fretboard. At the nut the strings are only about a half mm from the frets which it's almost a half cm at the end of the fretboard. Is it normal?
The bridge is of the Strat Style Tremolo with one screw holding one saddle for every string. There seem to be quite rare with informations about how this works. Can someone explain for me?
About a week ago I started to notice fret-buzz with low E and A open string. Do I need a professionals help to fix this problem?Judging from all the questions above you can surely know that i'm a beginner. Yes, I am ^^ Been playing for only 3 months with half-arsed tempo.

Big hugs to you all!

Hi,

There is nothing at all unusual about your pickups. You can get a clean sound with a humbucker but a humbucker just sounds different than a single coil. You should just turn back the gain on your amp or use a clean channel. I would not messs with re-wiring one of the pickups.

As for the string height, it is usual for the string to be closer to the fretboard at the nut. You should do some research on how to make sure your neck is adjusted correctly: http://www.athensmusician.net/archive/2001-05-01_geneimbody1.php

If what you have is a bridge that is adjusted like a strat, all you need is a small hex wrench (in the US we call them Allen wrenches) to adjust the buzzing strings higher at the bridge ever so slightly until the buzzing stops. In other words you will raise the saddle for each string that buzzes by turning the vertical saddle screws in a clockwise direction. Don't mess with the screws that adjust the distance between the saddle and the nut or this will affect intonation.

Hope this helps.
