Alas, this beauty must sit in its case in the back room at the local mega mart while I wait for the holding period to run out.

You complete and utter ...
Shouldn't it have a pickguard? Also, shouldn't the control knobs have a rubber grip insert?

You know, it would never occur to me to go hunting round a pawn shop in the UK - I'm guessing that's what Mega Mart is.

Re: Curse the 30-Day Hold!!!
The knobs are replacements, and (as you probably know) the originals get stoopid money on ebay. They have another vintage Ibby on the shelf with the right knobs, so I thought about asking them to swap them.
Ixnay on the ickguardpay.
Mega mart is an oblique reference to a large music chain.
Money has been laid.

What's a pickguard? Is it anything like a scratchplate?
BTW: That's a sweet-ass Artist. (But you already knew that.)

I played that bad boy on Sunday, it was very tempting to say the least. The only reason I didn't buy it is that I have four old Ibby's from that era, that and the wife would give me serious grief! Glad for you, enjoy the hell out of it. Nothing better than vintage Ibanez.

Good work, 99. No words need to be said about these guitars
.
You can get replacement knobs here without killing your credit card: http://www.reproguitarparts.com/, thought I can't remember exactly which ones were on the 70s guitars.

Yeah. It's a one-man show and he makes all that stuff by himself. Top quality, too.
Sure Grip 1s up through 81 or 82, maybe later.

Nice find. And yeah, the 30 day police hold sucks, especially when you're the early bird who sees it the day it comes in. The only good part is that you have more time to pay.
