Yep...I even contacted eBay customer service to inquire about an appeal of the decision and asked how they deemed "altering" the item a greater wrong than the fact it was "defective" to begin with...didn't matter to them..."policy states an altered item is not subject to a return". Decision Seller.

Just something I recently finished up.
Walnut top ash body
GFS Retrotrons
X-Trem
Walnut veneer on the headstock to match the top.

Just need to sort out the wiring. I set it up for 50s wiring but every time I role down the volume, all it does is get muddy...

Nice score, that's one of my favourite Ibanez finishes from back in the day. Those 1987 Roadstars aren't very common - there's a mix: some have the same body style as yours without the notched horns, others have the same as the previous year.

Nah, not maple - ebony .

Thanks! I've always liked the Blue Burst and Ruby Burst Finishes of this era (540R and Roadstars) and ran across this one for a good price. At this point, after the fiasco w/the Billy Bo, I'm just glad it all seems to "fit" together! I have come to appreciate Ebony as my Jackson and Warmoth Strat have Ebony Boards but I still love Maple. Probably sticking with this neck for now but we'll see down the road.

Sweet looking things at this page! I got my Star going, already draw the shape to the wood but it looked a little off so I´ll have to check some lines and do some tweaking.

Going to saw it tomorrow. Sorry for no pics. Yes, it´s knotty pine again.

Do I need a chrome cover for the humbucker ?

Sure, why not? Never looks bad.

One piece mahogany body from renegade guitars, warmoth pro construction mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard and schaller tone pros tuners. I painted the body and headstock with Wimbledon white, followed by champagne metallic and cleared it with minwax lacquer. It's a very thin clear as I want this to wear out and relic. I am still undecided on pickups. I'm torn between dimarzio satriani set and their 36th paf.

With all that mahogany, it should sound great with either pickups. You may even want to try one of each. Perhaps a 36th PAF neck pickup at the bridge to brighten things up and a Santrini in the neck.

I'm currently
Considering a Pearly bridge but idk. They are suggested for brighter guitars. I've heard them in les Paul and loved them tho

With a cover,I'd try to match the singles more to the p/g.

Without,Blk 'em all out!

I'd say "no" and that I like the bottom pic with Black HB and S/C Covers.

Before somebody mentions the horns are going to be rounded and shaped.

Gotta admit, I like it so far.

E: Forgot to brush the pencil marks away. Well, they´re going to be gone anyway.

I wasn't sure what you meant by "Notched" Bodies v. the one I have...after researching the Notch, even with the cool Ruby Burst Finish, I don't think I'd have grabbed it were it one of the Notched ones as I'm not a fan of the look.
