Re: The 'post your Ibanez' thread

Does that Dime loaded turquoise 540 have black strings on it? Thats a nice touch, pure awesome man that one needs to appear in an SD TV episode, I'd love to hear how it sounds.

I was thinking about it, and I'd reckon the only way to top this is if someone has one of these. Satch was wielding a black futura in the Chickenfoot holiday video...and we all now what the other one below is responsible for



Keep it coming guys, this thread is certainly delivering the goods

Very nice : whats the neck on that one, is it a wizard or more a viper? I love those oval inlays, I've the same ones on my 540S.

'edge' (Non-locking) trem bridge (w/ locking tuners)

Re: The 'post your Ibanez' thread

1986 Proline 650, Crystal Pearl, custom made pickups under the fancy covers. Rare Mahogany/Maple/Mahogany laminate Ultra neck, Ebony board:


1986 Proline 2550, Gold Pearl neck through, stock pickups


1986 Proline 1770, Gold Pearl stock singles, APC bridge pickup


1988 540P-TC Refin gold. Chandler neck with major headstock reconstruction. Take that zakk_speed. How many pickups does YOUR triple coil have? Mine has the following:
Bridge 1: Seymour Duncan Full Shred
Bridge 2: Chandler Rails style (used to be Hot Rails, will replace w/HR someday)
Middle: Seymour Duncan Classic Stack (old style)
Neddle? Middeck?: Fender 57/62 from 1988
Neck: G&L MFD from 1987 S500


1988/89 540R, One of a kind (AFAIK) factory refin turquoise blue burst. (Shocking Pink underneath) This is the flooded neck from the 540P. I replaced the board with an Ebony board pirated from someone's crappy home-built neck. They never even radiused the board. I harvested it, reworked the whole neck, its stiff with a slight backbow when unstrung. It's the only Wizard neck I know of that can take 11-56 strings, which is how I play it, and it's dead flat. Pickups: Dimebucker + 2 custom Dime-style bobbins in single coil format.

Prolines are my favourite Ibanezs ever, I have one PL1770 myself .

5 pickups, 6 coils... well technically 8 'cause one is rails and one a stack. Spinal Tap approved indeed.

And I wonder would the SD Custom Shop make those "Dime" singles (or stacks) if I asked nicely...

Nice pieces...

They may, but I made these in my garage by sanding the top of a strat cover clean off. The dime bobbin slipped up in there, but then the whole thing is just baked in glue. Not necessarily the easiest or most stable design, but MJ could do it "right" You'd probably have to tell her "Go ask Frank about that wacky thing he made". Truth is they sound rather ice-picky and only slightly tamed with 250k pots. If I were making them from scratch I'd use a totally different wind/wire.

Yeah, she's a monster with a big heavy mohog body and a seriously chunky (for an RG) neck, kind of like what Ibanez would have done for John Petrucci had he stayed with them as an endorsee. I slapped a Demon8 in her right after that photo.

The tone is similar to what some LPs deliver, that warm-but-with-top-end-snap thing, it really suits the Demon8.

Re: The 'post your Ibanez' thread

Frank's axes = . The 540P-TC made me laugh . Love the Prolines of course, was that 650 a Japan only model or something?

I'd like to get a mahogany/maple 1880 and a 2660 (pink or white) *sigh*.

I notice nobody who's posted has a Maxxas (another on my wish list), well, Frank probably does but doesn't want us to feel bad .

Re: The 'post your Ibanez' thread

Remember, these were all I had time to photograph last night. Over the next few days I'll post the rest. I'm estimating about 38 Ibanez' total. And yes there's a Maxxas in there.

Re: The 'post your Ibanez' thread

Trust me, I'd do horrible things to score one of these cheap, but the chance doesn't come around too often...


(put some white pups with black poles in it too)

Joebacca has one, if you can make him post pics...

Glad you dig it Adam!!
