I'm a huge fan of Zakk Wylde's so points for that. I also have a Pro Line 1770 (also from 86 because that the only year they were made). You can check it out in this thread in the earlier pages. Too bad a PL1770 had to come apart for this. They are pretty amazing guitars as well.

I thought the body seemed non-Ibanez. Of course the Gunslinger name gave some direction for what it might be.

I will def check your 1770 out. Don't sweat the Parted 1770...some ass "beavered" the body to a point that the local Music Go Round who took it in trade felt that the split that was running down the middle of the body made it "unsalvageable" and parted it out. I picked up the complete neck w/hardware and the Edge for $125.00 as I thought it would be a nice look on my son's guitar.

^^ Sinner who butchered a Proline! Excellent deal though - there's been a 1770 neck on eBay lately and it's nearly $200 BIN.

Wish Ibanez did white gold hardware more - I like the warmth it has compared to regular chrome.

better pic w/old pups:


My old 79 that I sold to prove I was fiscally responsible to my ex wife. That worked out well...

I love that iceman

Re: The 'post your Ibanez' thread

I did, too. If I had it to do all over again, I'd have just let her walk out. She'd already decided to leave and it probably just made me look desperate (I guess I kinda was). Yeah, that would have still been the end of my first marriage but I'd still have my Iceman and purple Czech Caddy...




damnedable woman.

Well, now you have an ex wife AND an ex guitar. Conclusion: don't sell your guitar. It will never sue you for half of what you've got ...

BTW, love that 2630. Hope you didn't sell that one.

Yeah, but, I knew the Edge would work as some of the B.C. Richs of that period actually came with an Ibanez Edge Tremolo on them stock. Fortunately, everything fit like a glove and set up perfectly. It's actually a great playing guitar. The Neck if one of the best feeling/playing RG Necks I have run across.

I got lucky, if you can call it that: she didn't want half of anything except the cool guitars I bought for her. I still have the 2630. It's out here with me on the ship but it's got EMGs in it at the moment. They're less sensitive to radar interference. Fun is playing on the flight deck when your stuff sounds like it's full of bees.

Re: The 'post your Ibanez' thread

I love that iceman

I do too, but it is quite close to mine--same era--just a few cosmetic differences--but I love late 70's examples of the Iceman with the same finish--and other ones as well.

Nice one ! Mind me asking what year ?

That is one of my favourite if not THE favourite Ibanez AND LP style guitar. I even have an Ibanez Prestige catalogue from a few years back where this is still in production. Too bad they stopped making these. I did however get an AR which isn't nearly as expensive but decent guitar.
