Hello Are these common? Took it out of my Marshall Studio 15 to replace dust cap that fell off and realized it has a vent on the back like some older Celestions. Never seen V30 / Vintage like this before. My amp is from 1985. I think the speaker is one of the earliest V30s. Does the vent have...

Re: Poor man's Ibanez JEM - RG450 The neck is finished with True Oil. I put 3 thin layers and wet (alcohol) sanded it with 2000 glass paper. The finish is in the wood only, no build up. Its super silky now. I put wax after sanding. It's difficult to tell where the oil finish turns into laquer...

fixing the neck... fixing the neck... neck clamped I spreaded the crack with a clamp I filled the crack with glue. I followed this tutorial: http://www.ibanezrules.com/tech/setup/crack_neck.htm Then the crack was clamped for 24h. The back of the neck had many dents so I decided to...

Hello, Some background first: I'm buiding a budget partscaster from used parts. I need a LP and strat/tele in one. I know it will be a compromise and I already have Strat and LP type guitars. Just don't want to take 2 guitars to rehearsals. The body is '81 Ibanez Blazer (ash), neck is Mighty...

Hi mag swappers, I just bought 1981 Ibanez Blazer in very nice shape. It came with 80's SD pickups - MGJ (Stag Mag) and JNJ (Jazz Neck). I absolutely love the neck pickup! It's perfect. The bridge is also nice but there are some problems. Since the Blazer has tremolo the magnet spacing in...

Hi everybody! This is my first post. The guitar is 1976 set neck Ibanez LP. It had very nice stock pickups, unpotted PAF style Alnico V, around 8kOhm. Decided to replace them because the bridge pup had not enough mids for me and neck pup seemed a little muddy, plus I wanted to be able to split...
