540P Power Triple Coil with a PATB1 and PASTK-1N

Jem7vWH with Ebony board and Bartolini V92C for the neck, a 3D-01 for the middle, and a V94D for the bridge. Awesome Pups.

First two are some of the coolest Ibanez's I have ever seen. I've been always drawn to the H/S no middle pup combo and that mirror pickguard is so cool.
And the "Triple coil" with the PATB1 and PASTK-1n looks pretty awesome as well.
And needless to say the Paralle Axis's are my favourite Duncan pickups.
The White Jem is one of the most beautiful and best sounding guitars ever and those Bartolini's look wicked on that Jem.

Thanks man! I love the 565 style H/S setup too, I dont really understand why it isn't offered in the modern ibanez range.

There was the RG465, though apparently it was only a limited production model in 2010, and not available in the US. It did have a Dimarzio D Activator and an Air Norton S as stock though, which is pretty cool for a non-prestige ibby.

I also observe that buying Ibanez guitars leaves the owners with enough cash to buy better cameras :D
 
Re: The 'post your Ibanez' thread

Here are just a few bad iPhone pics from last night:

Late 70's PF200, custom piezo + Schaller Golden 50 pickups:
5d235d2b.jpg


1986 Proline 650, Crystal Pearl, custom made pickups under the fancy covers. Rare Mahogany/Maple/Mahogany laminate Ultra neck, Ebony board:

1986 Proline 2550, Gold Pearl neck through, stock pickups
42c1048f.jpg


1986 Proline 1770, Gold Pearl stock singles, APC bridge pickup
d3a05f7d.jpg


1988 540P-TC Refin gold. Chandler neck with major headstock reconstruction. Take that zakk_speed. :nana: How many pickups does YOUR triple coil have? Mine has the following:
Bridge 1: Seymour Duncan Full Shred
Bridge 2: Chandler Rails style (used to be Hot Rails, will replace w/HR someday)
Middle: Seymour Duncan Classic Stack (old style)
Neddle? Middeck?: Fender 57/62 from 1988
Neck: G&L MFD from 1987 S500
10f865cd.jpg


1987 540Power, Black had been in a flood. Neck was destroyed-every glue joint separated (BUT-see 540R custom color below) I wetsanded and buffed the body and put this rare Maple 540R neck on it. Dimarzio Virtual Vintage Heavy Blues neck, 2.0 middle, Seth Lover bridge.
91392d0d.jpg


1988/89 540R, One of a kind (AFAIK) factory refin turquoise blue burst. (Shocking Pink underneath) This is the flooded neck from the 540P. I replaced the board with an Ebony board pirated from someone's crappy home-built neck. They never even radiused the board. I harvested it, reworked the whole neck, its stiff with a slight backbow when unstrung. It's the only Wizard neck I know of that can take 11-56 strings, which is how I play it, and it's dead flat. Pickups: Dimebucker + 2 custom Dime-style bobbins in single coil format.

1992 442R, Trans Red, Seymour Duncan Custom Custom bridge, APC200 middle, G&L MFD neck

1993 540RLTD, Black, rare AANJ model, Seymour Duncan Custom/59 Hybrid bridge, Antiquity Texas Hot middle, AIIPro Slash/59 Hybrid neck.

Falbo "540R", trans purple burst. Brazillian RW neck (1-piece) Flamed Maple body (2pc but solid front to back) 2 custom made HB's, SSL-2 middle.

Oh Yeah, I just opened a beer in your honor :friday: With these three alone you take the thread. That TC is pure spinal tap 80's glory. How the heck would you remember all the combinations :)

Does that Dime loaded turquoise 540 have black strings on it? Thats a nice touch, pure awesome :) man that one needs to appear in an SD TV episode, I'd love to hear how it sounds.

I was thinking about it, and I'd reckon the only way to top this is if someone has one of these. Satch was wielding a black futura in the Chickenfoot holiday video...and we all now what the other one below is responsible for ;)

Keep it coming guys, this thread is certainly delivering the goods

Very nice : whats the neck on that one, is it a wizard or more a viper? I love those oval inlays, I've the same ones on my 540S.
