Introduction: DIY MOD LEAD IBANEZ GUITAR.
This is an mod of my custom lead guitar with parts from Ibanez guitars. I decided to make this out of scrap from a friend of mine Emmanuel Hillsong Igwe. Thanks to you for your support in this project.

Step 2: TAKE APART OLD PARTS
Unscrew every part and take out bad electronics. Prepare wooden body and neck/fretboard for work.
Step 3: BODY WORK
Spray body to your desired need of design. That which suits you. i just used the colour i had laying around.
Step 4: NECK/FRET WORK
This is based on individual desire. How you want your fretboard to look like.
Step 5: ASSEMBLY OF ALL BODY PARTS.
Assemble all body parts together to begin assembling of pickups,electonics, etc.
Step 6: ASSEMBLY OF ELECTRONICS AND PICKUPS
Wire all pickups and other electronics to desired.
i used the above/below schematic.
Step 7: FIXING THE STRINGS.
Finally a very tasky part. Be careful when fixing string so as not to break any string especially the 1st E string cause its the thinnest.
Step 8: Test
