NGD, pawn shop find.

Found this Ibanez yesterday. Passive EMG's, H4a and H4 I think. Sounded like crap when I first plugged it in, but after lowering them a bit, not so bad. No fret wear and the neck is straight. Finish is good aside from a little scuffing where a pickguard would go. I might put an X2N in the bridge at some point, but I'm in no hurry to.

Cool, I always liked the Artist headstock and it looks great with an LP shape body

Very nice, that bridge looks like a Babicz am I wrong?

Cool guitasr. Not familiar with that particular model but am a big Ibanez fan. Congrtats.

Not sure. It might be, or Ibanez's version of one.

The spacing on the Ibanez is slightly different than on an LP,

Or at least the ones I have come across

Depends on the bridge the on the LP.

Standard current-day Gibsons with stock hardware, yeah. Those are narrower. Vintage too. Late Norlins and early 90's I'm not sure, because many of those use Schaller bridges.

But many (and I'd even say most) aftermarket replacement Tune-O's are wider-spaced. I have a Gotoh and a couple Grapthech Tune-O's that are spaced as wide as the bridge on most modern Fenders. I'm pretty sure the Graphtech GTM is like that too.

I think they call it Gibraltar III. It's the same bridge that was on an old SZ of mine. It was very comfy.

The last time I messed with one of those bridges that @NotDemanic has
I liked the pass through tailpiece but it has a different spacing for the postsbthan the standard TOM bridge

It was, I think, 74mm while the TOM as 84 at the tailpiece and 74 at the saddle

Looks allot like my little Charvel.
