Details & History
Mike has kindly let us have a look at
his growing collection of Ibanez guitars including his Ibanez MH1 Mike
Hickey Model from his endorsement days with such bands as Carcass, Cronos
and Venom.
Thanks again Mike,
Jerry
my all time favorite
guitar...
made in 1988 and delivered in
january of 89 to me...my specs featuring an RG style body of basswood
with Jem neck joint and jack placement, a PAF PRO and HS-3 in the neck,
slanted as a tribute to Jake E.Lee. bound neck and headstock with ebony
board, with my name inlayed on the 12th fret, reverse headstock with
matching paint which is kind of a cross between Road Flare Red and Five
Alarm Red, this has no serial number.
cool, I hope you enjoy the
shots.
Mike
Also I believe this RG is the
first Ibanez to feature direct mount pickups ever, and also it seems
that the RG565 released shortly after is based on my guitar...

He is now V.P. of Hoshino USA. It has an Ebony board, reverse headstock and is most likely one of a kind. serial # 800222. Mike. |
