Details & History
I live in the U.S. and have been playing for about 22
years.
My two favorite electrics for live use are Ibanez Jems and Gibson Les
Pauls but I've been primarily an Ibanez player since the beginning.
My first non-pawn-shop guitar was an Ibanez Roadstar (I still have it but
it's currently on loan to my nephew) and, over the years I've also owned a
1977 Ibanez Les Paul copy, a 1993 Iceman and a 1996 S470FM model in
addition to various Jems.
The large pic has all of my current guitars and I also included a couple
of some Herc Fede-swirled Jems and a 1989 JEM7RB that I used to own.
I like to add mirror pickguards to my Jems to personalize them a little,
the white JEM7VWH and the black JEM7PBK are my two main stage guitars.
I believe all the PBK models (swirl guitars included) are from 1989, the
blue Jem7VSBL is from 2002 and the VWH is a 2003 model. Long live Ibanez!
