--Thanks you bossing!! aminado po ako di ako marunong pumili ng gitara.. haha

Feedback ba o hum/noise ang sinasabi mo?
a.) Kung feedback, wag kang haharap sa speaker ng amp...or magiba ka ng pwesto.......
b.) a specific frequency is feedbacking at resonant kung sang room ka man naroroon.....try mong baguhin ung equalizer mo sa amp like babaan mo yung high frequency hanggang sa mawala....or baguhin mo pwesto ng amp mo....
c.) kung wala pa rin nakapagresolba ng binanggit ko sa taas.....at continuous feedback naririnig mula sa iyong pickups...i mean kahit magbago ka ng puwesto, baguhin mo ung equalizer mo, continuous pa rin feedback hindi nawawala or humihina......may tama na ang pickups mo....its either patingnan mo yung pickups or palitan mo na......
Kung 60 cycle hum naman naririnig mo:
Kung hindi noiseless pickup mo.....palitan mo ng noiseless....
.....that's it......But Seriously you can try this:
a.) Use a quality guitar cord from your guitar to your amp, or kung may effects ka use quality patch cables na rin.
b.) Shielding your guitar electronics chamber....paki research na lang sa internet....or
c.) Ilayo mo ang guitar chord mo sa mga electrical outlet, electrical cable, extensions (kung di maiiwasan mag cross, i 90 degress mo).....mga flourescent lights.....sa mga electrical motors like yung motor ng deep well nyo....
some of that will reduce hum but not totally 100 %........

Ok I'll be posting these tutorials, processes and my experiences with pictures pagkatapos kong ma refinish ang aking Ibanez RG7321 7 strings from black to a Natural wood look (Walnut Stain).....para sa mga interesado.....I am not saying that I nailed the processes right away....may mga disaster ding ngyari, little mistakes but at least nakita nyo naman results sa Sig ko.....so without further ado....here it goes.......
Bakit nga ba naisipan kong i refinish? From this: (1st picture attached).
a.) Cosmetically, naboboring nako sa kulay nya, parang walang distinctive qualities, parang walang identity ung guitar ko, walang soul.........
b.) Mas nakakahinga yung wood, mag aaged na yung wood naturally the longer you play the better sounding it gets, nakakavibrate na yung wood, mas longer sustain ng mga notes, mas lumalabas ung mga overtones/every note has definitions, hindi na dadamped ng plastic na nature ng pintura ung sound….
c.) Weight concerns, you will see what i mean at the end of these tutorials. You will realize kung gano kakapal/kabigat ang ginamit na pintura (clear at yung color) at filler....

thanks saa sagot paps pnatingin ko dun sa binilhan ko sabi normal daw yun sa single coil na pickup.. dapat daw babaan ko yung treble or gumamit ako ng noiseless na gadget.. pero mag clean overdrive muna ako.. sa distortion lang kasi na effect nag feedback.. kung gusto ko daw palitan ko nang noiseless na pickup pero wala pa akong idea sa ganyan kasi 1st electric guitar ko ito..

Sanding Process:
First of all, kelangang planuhin muna natin ang pagrerefinish. Anu bang gusto mong kalabasan? Gusto mo lang bang palitan yung kulay from black to red or swirl? Or gusto mo talaga hubad na kahoy (natural wood look)?
Plan ko talaga is natural wood look, ni researched ko talaga kung anung klaseng wood ung RG7321 ko. It turns out basswood ang kahoy. I research the internet for pics of basswood kung anung itsura nya pag bare/hubad. It turns out wala daw masyadong grains ang basswood….boring looking….but still desidido na talaga ako….bahala na!!!!! Now my guitar’s finish is consists of 3 layers: Yung clear, ung base paint which in this case is black then ung filler/parang masilya siya na transluscent then yung kahoy na. Madaling lihahin ung clear at black, about 2 to 3 hours continuous na liha sa front and back but the sides did take me another 2 hours more. Pinakamahirap sa loob ng upper and lower horns ng Guitar.
Disassembly:
Secondly, syempre kelangan mo idismantle mo muna ung mga parts ng body ng guitar mo. From the bridge, saddles, 5-way switch, wirings, strap buttons, pickups, neck screws (tatanggalin nyo yung neck syempre), jack, pickguard (if there’s any), backplate, string ferrules (in my case kasi fixed bridge), etc.
I suggest, I segregate nyo yung mga parts by functions like yung bridge, saddles and screws pagsamahin nyo sa isang plastic ng yelo for example. Tapos yung Jack and yung screws nya saka ung Strap buttons saka yung screws nya sa isang ring plastic ng yelo. Something similar to that idea para hindi kayo mahirapan sa pagbabalik pag assembly time na. Another important thing is yung pickups and yung wiring, mas maigi I drawing nyo sa isang papel ung mga switch, pickups, jacks, potentiometers (yung volume and tone) and their original connections, anung kulay ng mga wirings, san nakakabit, anung orientation ng pickups, etc.
Kung wala kayong alam sa electronics, better to ask someone about it before nyo idismantle. Para maidrawing nya para sa inyo ung electronic diagram and use that as a reference when it comes to assembly time na. At maituro nya rin sa inyo kung pano nyo tatanggalin yung wiring and components na intact pa rin at madaling ibalik.
Preparations (what you need from my experience):
a.) 2 sheets each of 60, 80 and 100 grit na Liha.
b.) Sanding Block para mas mapadali or mas mainam kung may Palm Sander kayo.
c.) Some old cloth or towel to cover your nose or gas mask. Remember hazardous sa health yung particulate dust ng nililihang paint.
d.) Kung may eye goggles kayo mas mainam din para di pumasok sa mata nyo ung mga particulate dust.
e.) Well-ventilated area, sa likod bahay nyo or bukas na garahe. Huwag hayaang lumapit ang mga bata sa iyo habang nagliliha.
f.) Wooden dowels is what they called it para sa pagliha ng insides ng upper and lower horns.
g.) Patience!!!! (siyempre)
Basic Rules to Follow:
a.) Pumili ng place na well ventilated like yung nabanggit ko sa taas, in my case sa ilalim ng puno ng Kamansi sa likod ng bahay. Our health is more important than the project.
b.) Isuot ang ating mga safety gears, mask and goggles, etc.
c.) Take your time, wag magmadali.
d.) Magsimula sa pinaka magaspang na liha such as 60 grit para medaling tanggalin ung mga major layers ng finish. Ibala nyo sa Sanding block (gupitin yung liha ng sakto lang sa base ng sanding block) then sand away.
e.) Wag mag stay ng pagliha sa isang area ng body ng guitar ng matagal. Pantay pantay lang duration at diin ng pagliha sa bawat area.
f.) Magpahinga from time to time. Ang pagod ay maaring magresulta sa isang disaster!!!!
g.) In my experience, ihuli ung pinakamahirap na areas like ung insides ng upper and lower horn ng guitar.
h.) Minsan maglakad lakad during breaks if yung pagliliha becomes too much, seriously it can wait naman.

Sanding Continued….
Sorry po kasi hindi ko nakunan ng Pics in phases, like ung remove clear muna then ung base color na black.
The first 3 Pics show kung anung itsura pag natanggal na yung clear and black. Note, hindi pa eto ung mismong kahoy or basswood. Na confuse din ako rito kala ko kahoy na, only by close inspection ko lang nalaman na hindi pa pala kahoy. Now this is the “Hell” part, pinakamahirap sa pagliliha I mean pag manu manong liha gagawin nyo. What you see is a somewhat may pagka orangey colored na sanding sealer/filler/putty or masilya.
Advice:
a.) Kung gusto nyo lang palitan ng kulay yung guitar nyo like from black to red or, blue, or gusto nyo ipa swirl like the one below;
.....don’t sand beyond this point. Kaya nilagyan ng filler ung basswood dahil ang basswood malakas humigop ng paint. Meaning mahirap ma attain yung mirror like smoothness na finish pag walang filler. Basically ginagawa ng filler is to cover those pores ng kahoy para hindi na siya humigop ng paint. Para pag nagpintura ka na e uniform ang kalalabasan. Parang di ba pag nagpagawa ka ng mga pasadyang furnitures, bago i finish e, nakikita nyo e minamasilyahan ng karpintero yung mga imperfections sa kahoy, like ung mga malalalim na knots, uneven surfaces, etc. Kaya kung gusto nyo lang palitan ng kulay don't sand beyond this point kasi you have the filler already, pwede ka ng magpaint over that filler. Make sure nga lang na makinis na makinis na ung filler before applying the new paint. You can do this by using sandpapers na papino na ng papino ung grit. Like start with 180 grit, then 200, then 500, 800 grit, then finishing off with a 1000 or 1200 grit. Pag nasa 1000 grit ka na, you can then wet sand. I will explain wet sanding in the later part of these series of tutorials.
b.) In my case, gusto ko kasi bare wood then oil finish. In that case I need to sand beyond this point. I need to sand away these fillers. Kelangan ko makita grain ng kahoy right? ....and that is what I am intending to do.
The last Pics below shows kung anung itsura pag niliha mo na yung sealer at malapit ka na sa wood mismo. Eto ang pinakamahirap na part na lihain, It did took me and my friendly handyman around 2 months, kasi ang hirap talaga parang ayaw matanggal kahit naka 60 grit ka, parang lumalaban sa sobrang kapal. Lalong lalo na sa sides, at contours ng guitar, at yung inner lower and upper horn. Anyway, hindi rin naman kasi namin mapagtuunan ng atensyon at that stage kasi may work din siya noon as a carpenter, at ako may work din kaya pahapyaw-hapyaw lang. Eventually natapos din namin. Mapapansin nyo sa pics na aninag na yung grains ng kahoy at mukhang 5 to 6 pieces na pinagdikit dikit!!!……pagtitipid po ang tawag ditto…..hehehe…..but wait!!!! I can see a flamey figure sa pic below sa bandang left ng guitar…..looks promising ang grain ng wood contrary sa sinasabi nila walang grains ang basswood.
Pasensya na po kasi hindi ko nakunan ung mismong basswood/hubad na kahoy ready for staining.
Next is the staining.

Staining Process…
Now is the staining part, you need:
a.) An oil base stain, in my case I use ACE Oil Base Stain na nabibili sa ACE HW Stores. I use Dark Walnut Stain. Please see pic below. The purpose of the stain ay palitawin/accentuate ung grain ng kahoy parang varnish and also seals the pores of the wood and protects the wood at the same time. Haluin muna ng maigi yung lata ng stain bago i apply sa body ng guitar just like any klase ng paint. Parang naghahalo kayo ng kape, circular then pa upward yung halo.
b.) A clean lint free cloth, like ung mga pinaglumaan na cotton na damit.
c.) A brand new paint brush (1 inch) if possible.
d.) Gas mask kasi mabaho ung Stain (hehehe)
Process and Techniques:
Hindi ko po nakunan ung basswood ng guitar ko before staining, so I will cite some examples of typical basswood grains, some are boring looking some have grains if you are lucky enough. Please see pics below. Looks boring ung examples natin but once ma stain mo siya with the right process explained below, lilitaw ung ganda at natural grains ng kahit anung boring looking na wood.
a.) Now this is the technique with staining, the longer na hayaan nyong sipsipin ng kahoy ung stain, the darker it gets. In my application, medyo dark ng konti. So I apply the stain with the brush sa isang section ng guitar body then after 3 seconds punasan agad ng old cotton na damit. Then another section with the stain then after 3 seconds punas agad ng cloth, then so on so forth. I hope you get what I mean. Kung gusto nyo pa mas dark, try mga 5-6 seconds bago punasan ng cloth. If gusto nyo mas darker pa, try light staining then hang to dry, then another light staining pag natuyo na then hang again, then repeat the process layer by layer hanggang sa ma attain nyo ung desired darkness. Wag nyong hayaang tumagal sipsipin ung stain ng more then 10 seconds bago punasan, masyadong dark at natakpan na yung grain ang kalalabasan, mahirap pang kontrolin.
b.) Use the paint brush to stain. Paint in sections, for example sa front body muna, start at the left most areas, then ung middle areas then finish off with the right most areas sa front body then hang to dry for 30 minutes. Then ung back naman then hang to dry. Repeat the process, then ung sides naman then hang to dry. Gumawa ako ng alambreng hanger then sinuksok ko sa screw holes ng neck joint para ma isabit ko sya like the pic below.
c.) Now these are the end results, please see pics below. Nasuwertehan lang ako sa grains ng basswood ng guitar ko, un nga lang pinagtagpi tagping 4 to 5 pieces ng wood hehehe....pero ayus na rin....at least may grains....
Next is the Finishing.....
