Hi, all.
I got a new candy apple red Ibanez Destroyer last week. Cool. Great. I opened the box to scan it over and...if I'll be damned, the neck pick-up wasn't screwed into the pot, it was just hanging around in there. So, I loosened all the strings and got to work getting the pick-up properly installed. Easy enogh but annoying nonetheless. The truss rod was really tight when I set it up,too. That's no big deal-you expect that. However, leaving the neck-pickup in the state I found it in is unexcusable. Hello? Quality control? How can you miss that? Funny thing, there was a sticker on the back on the guitar detailing who inspected the guitar (for quality control) before it was shipped. So, I felt like sending an email off to Ibanez just to blog about my guitar, but alas, I couldn't locate any email address to complain about such things...they ahd an email address for everything else, not that I could find anyway.
Anyway, I love Ibanez Destroyers, especially since they aren't nek heavy like some other explorer type guitars. Plays great and I do like the stock INF3 & 4 pick-ups. Would love to have one with a sunburst finish like Dave Murry played on the Beast on the Road tour.
