The DiMarzio Air Norton, True Velvet and Tone Zone pickups offer depth, warmth and rich dynamics when combined with the 5-way pickup switch. This model adopts Belden wiring material and copper shielding inside its control cavity, so noiseless sound can be expected.
Pickup cavity depth The pickups are Dimarzios, a Blaze Bridge and an Air Norton 7. Has anyone retro-fitted the pickups in their fixed bridge Ibanez and if so, did you need to rout the pickup cavities deeper? So I bought a covered setof Dimarzios for my Ibanez RG921, and just discovered they won't fit into the direct mount cavity. My tech wants $60 per pickup installation/routing. The DiMarzio Air Norton, True Velvet and Tone Zone pickups offer depth, warmth and rich dynamics when combined with the 5-way pickup switch. This model adopts Belden wiring material and copper shielding inside its control cavity, so noiseless sound can be expected. Furthermore, this model features an Edge-Zero II tremolo bridge and provides.
The most recognizable guitar design in the world, it has been used by millions of guitarists for over half a century. Debuting in 1954, it was a natural evolution to the Telecaster. Featuring a double cutaway contoured body and more versatile pickup and wiring options, it quickly became an icon that soared to the 'stratosphere.'
This set of templates includes a body template, neck pocket template, neck template with vintage 60’s headstock, and pickguard template. It is set up as a hardtail configuration, to be used with a vintage style string through body or top mount bridge. The neck pocket template has a universal rout to fit either a P90, humbucker, or similarly sized pickup in the bridge position.
The body and neck pocket templates include registration holes along the center line. If you use screws to hold the templates to the wood you’re routing, the holes will help keep everything lined up between templates. They are located so that the holes will be hidden under the pickguard.
Recommended dimensions and routing depths are:
- Neck Pocket Depth: 5/8'
- Pickup Cavity Depth: 5/8' (3/4' for some aftermarket pickups)
- Volume/Tones/Switch Cavity Depth: 1 1/2'
- Output Jack Cavity Depth: 1 1/2'
- Roundover Radius: 7/16'

Ibanez Cavity Depth Definition
We have used Auxilliary ('Aux') circuit boards for years for our guitar manufacturer customers such as Jackson, Schecter and Ibanez. These boards hold the Sustainiac controls. The Aux boards connect to our main circuit boards by pre-wired harnesses. This eliminates much installation labor. It also makes the end product more consistent, and greatly reduces the chance that uncontrolled squealing (oscillation) or 'grunge' in the guitar signal due to crosstalk from certain Sustainiac wires to the guitar signal wires. In fact we think this will make the typical Sustainiac installation so much easier and less expensive for our customers that this will become the most popular installation option. Scroll down to see the photos below.
We have decided to make this an option in order to reduce the complexity of installing the Sustainiac, and also to reduce the chance of installation errors which sometimes causes frustration with customers and even skilled technicians. As our company Maniac Music Inc. grows with the increasing popularity of the Sustainiac, we have less and less time to answer hundreds of customer calls for help with their Sustainiac installations. Our new 'Aux-TT' board with toggle controls sits vertically in the control cavity as shown in the photo of a Jackson DK-2 guitar cavity below. It needs 1.35 inches (35mm) of cavity depth. Or, you can eaily modify the cavity depth as shown with the Jackson DK-2 installation below.The new (May 2018) optional Aux boards (Aux-TT, Aux-JS, Aux-2) each add $10 to the Stealth PRO kit price IF you order one INSTEAD of the normal controls and wire harness. Add $25.00 if you want BOTH the Aux board AND normal controls.
AT THE PRESENT TIME (2019) WE HAVE NO GOOD AUX BOARD OPTION FOR STRATOCASTERS AND STRAT COPIES, UNLESS YOU REMOVE THE MIDDLE POT. In this case it becomes much like the Ibanez RG, Jem etc.
IBANEZ JEM AND SIMILAR RG MODELS: The best Aux board option for this is the Aux-2 board.

Note how the volume and tone potentiometers have been rotated to make room for the Aux-2 board. | Ibanez RG cavity showing the Stealth PRO circuit board sitting on top of Aux-2 board. There is just barely enough room for everything to fit. But it does! |
AUX-TT circuit board.This is a good $10 option for end users to save much time and potential frustration by greatly simplifying the Sustainiac installation. The Aux-TT board is 1.8 in. (46mm) wide x 1.35 in. (35mm) tall. (Requires 1.35 in. (35mm) cavity depth). The two toggle switches are spaced 1.00 inches (25.4mm) apart.

Compare this to our normal hookup diagrams on our Installation Page to see how much soldering is eliminated with the Aux-TT board. Hookup diagram showing the Aux-TT board in a Jackson DK-2 guitar |
Sustainiac Aux-JS board. This board is installed into all the Ibanez JS2480 guitars. It is a good $20.00 option for end users to install into their own JS model guitar. It has a toggle switch for Sustainiac Harmonic Mode, and push-pull tone control for ON/OFF. A tone capacitor is mounted to the board. The Aux-JS board is 2.2 in. (56mm) wide x 1.35 in. (35mm) tall. (Requires 1.35 in. (35mm) cavity depth) | Ibanez JS-2480 guitar control cavity photo. Note that the cavity wall at the top of the photo has to be shaved a little to make room for the Sustainiac circuit board. This can be done in a few minutes with a good hand chisel.

Sustainiac Aux-2 board The Aux 2 board is mounted horizontally to the cavity wall. It takes up more room in the cavity than our Aux-TT board. It has been used for years in various Schecter models but we offer it for guitars with roomier cavities. The Aux-2 board also 'just fits' into the Ibanez Jem and similar RG models. SEE IMMEDIATELY BELOW. | Hookup diagram showing the Aux-2 board in a production Schecter C1 guitar |
Expect to see other AUX boards in the near future.
