Yes, it's sadly time to sell my Ibanez. I'm hoping to get $100 out of it, at least, since that's what I bought it for when I first started off. I got it used back in 2001/2002. It's got a great neck, and is comfortable, just is made of maple, which causes pickup complications (don't bother putting anything but alnico II pcikups in it lol).
So it's got a used CC in it, but sounds great. The other two pickup holes are not filled, but will work with Classic Stacks (I know this from experience). I just didn't like how classic stack pickups sounded.
As for the internals, I can take a picture of underneath the pickguard, but it's a bit "ghetto" down there: i took a router to it in an effort to remove wood to get the classic stack plus pickups I had bought into it. As a result, it will look ghetto in there, but otherwise there's nothing wrong with it.
I put pictures on the Ibanez page on my website (down towards the bottom). Also, here is the soundclick page of me playing into my computer through this guitar using my Boss ME-50. I was told by Beer$ that the first part of me playing "Day Tripper" riff through that pickup is "dead on" (not like I'd know if it is lol).
Anyways, please post any recommendations / comments. Like I said, I'm hoping to get $100 out of it. The guitar has Blue Steel 10s loaded on it, and the trem is floating. I hadn't bought any knobs, but the config is master volume and master tone (250k pots each, tone is Fender no-load tone). It still has the DPDT switch installed in it, so you can wire that up to split the CC easily. It will play just fine out of the box, and comes with the original Ibanez case (but the case has one latch broken and is, in general, a tiny bit beat up, but works and shouldn't embarass you).
EDIT: Pictures directory for what it looks like right now.
