Re: The 'post your Ibanez' thread

Well, now you have an ex wife AND an ex guitar. Conclusion: don't sell your guitar. It will never sue you for half of what you've got ...

BTW, love that 2630. Hope you didn't sell that one.

I got lucky, if you can call it that: she didn't want half of anything except the cool guitars I bought for her. I still have the 2630. It's out here with me on the ship but it's got EMGs in it at the moment. They're less sensitive to radar interference. Fun is playing on the flight deck when your stuff sounds like it's full of bees.

I love that iceman

I do too, but it is quite close to mine--same era--just a few cosmetic differences--but I love late 70's examples of the Iceman with the same finish--and other ones as well.

That is one of my favourite if not THE favourite Ibanez AND LP style guitar. I even have an Ibanez Prestige catalogue from a few years back where this is still in production. Too bad they stopped making these. I did however get an AR which isn't nearly as expensive but decent guitar.

Re: The 'post your Ibanez' thread

^^ I agree - if I were to get a LP style guitar, it would be one of these, or a Yamaha SG.

 

[sneakyjapan]

Re: The 'post your Ibanez' thread

If I recall....`81....could be `83.


You know...a nice alternative to the SG`s are the Lord Players...I have an LP-400 that is really outstanding considering how little they can sell for over here. They have the Gibson headstock and there were some higher end models too.

Ibanez zombie bump

Ah update on the Ibie front....
Got myself something I have not seen here in DK ever...
Installed three Wilde Micro Coils, and somebody drilled a hole for a split, seriel, parallel switch for a minirail bucker, took that one out and used a normal 3 legged on/on for an optional switch neck pickup on...
And some arse removed the org Gotoh tuners, am getting some new ones with a thumb lock, Gotoh SG381's, off with those Schallers.....ugly mofo's!
Got a temporary vibrato arm on it, need to find some Wilkinson or Gotoh for it....
Ibanez 430S II 1990 and Ibanez 540R 1990 as well...(has long since earned its keep)

Two pretty rare birds, nice! A Radius is on my 'Ibanez to get' list. Is the S mahogany like the rest of them?

Re: The 'post your Ibanez' thread

Ok, I just remembered I got another one since starting this thread - '86 RG410. Bought it as a neck/body carcass, then lucked out on an Edge with the appropriate long block. Stuck the PAF Pro I had in my parts drawer and she sounds pretty good, more versatile than you'd think.

Re: The 'post your Ibanez' thread

Thanks, yeps Mahogany body indeed!
Very snappy and aggressive, and with the turn of the volume or tone, back to mellow warm sounds....most cool.
^That is one sweet 410...

 

[Ashurbanipal]

Re: The 'post your Ibanez' thread

^^ How's the trem on it?

The 410...I wanted a pink one . It's very light guitar, and has nice bite/snarl; very responsive to where you pick along the string length. Needs the original nut though - have a Gotoh on it now but the break angle is too shallow. Fun guitar all in all, play it quite a bit. Killer necks on these guitars.

Re: The 'post your Ibanez' thread

It works well.....solid thing, only bug is a bad hexscrew that I need to get out.
It has the same spacing as a Floyd.....I trying to remember what vibratos that has that wide a spacing....
Hmm no locks on that nut??
They are great old guitars....

Makes for the for sale CS Fenders I got feel like big clunky lumps of wood, even with the Wilde 280/290's pickups my Beck sounds like a dull unresponsive thing compared to those old Ibies.....
Kinda crazy.....those Fenders where not cheap....guess I am not that much into them as I thought!

Re: The 'post your Ibanez' thread

MMMMm radius, Man they are a kick ass model. A guy who use to be a friend of mine had a awesome one. I restored it after he painted it in fish oil. What a retarded idiot.

I might have already shown it in this thread who knows.

I had just put it together at the time of the photo, hence no locking pads - the bolts were protruding above the nut platform and had to be ground down. I'm often on the lookout for an original Top Lok III that's not stupidly priced .

Yeah, the resonance of these things shocked me a bit. Think it's got a lot to do with the square heel. Good, fairly loud acoustic sound on all of mine. When I finally got a MIJ one I realized what all the fuss is about.
