Details & History
DG555Bk - (B860871) unexpected purchase off eBay,
thought I was getting a DT555 and it turned out to be a DG, complete with
later style Ibanez headstock and full on edge trem with a top lok - I
wasn't complaining. I have a set of V2 pick ups waiting to go into this
one.
DT555 waiting for refurb bought this one as a full on
refurb project, working on cleaning up the trem at present, it needs new
frets too.. in time! (EBay again)
DT555 best example - (L840088) a really good condition
DT, pretty much perfect with all the original bits (Yep..Ebay!)
DT555 non locking - (J831037) an early DT with a 1983
serial number, another rarity in that it has the non locking trem - this
one is in pretty respectable shape too! (Another eBay... getting
predictable..)
DT555 waiting for a V2, which is in the case, I just
haven't got round to wiring it in yet, have the original knobs as well,
they could do with replating! Age old problem with these things. (You
guessed....)
DT555 waiting for DiMarzio's - this one's case has 2 PAF
pro's and a Super Distortion waiting to go in, and the same problem with
the original knobs. (I really MUST actually visit a real guitar store
again one day...)
Giger RG and RG2 - (CP05071253) My latest addition,
couple of pics of the new Giger guitar
JEM 777 LNG - (870670) pretty much as new, with the hand
rest. Came in the original case but the pyramid is missing - did some ship
without them? Shot of the signature too. Bought online but not eBay this
time, direct from the store that took delivery of it back in 87...
Attina's. They were a joy to deal with but I'm not saying how much I paid
them to get this guitar over here...!
RG550DY - (F9841181) one of the re-issues, with Cosmo
hardware and AANJ plus bubinga stripe in neck. EBay again!!!!!!!!!
RG560 - (F757584) my first Ibanez was a 560 that I
bought back in 1991, I sold that one to get a Patrick Eggle and always
missed it so this EMG equipped baby joined the ranks recently - it's a
very early one, 87 serial number and plays great.
RG570 - (F243268) another recent purchase, like the 560,
both were cheap off ebay and have turned out to be good buys. This one is
a 92 guitar
S470 - (F9756562) unusual in that it is a 470 from 97
and was made in the Fuji factory Japan, not Korea like the later ones.
(are you starting to get the feeling i like black guitars???) This was
from Percy Prior's in Brum, no longer trading!
S540 - (F935116) another ebay buy recently, emg's,
screams louder than a guitar this size has any right too, it has oval dots
and no custom made inlay. Has the Bensalem neck plate but without the
serial number on there.
SF470 - (F331170) I went off trem equipped guitars for a
while and picked up this one in that phase! 93 serial number and Fuji
serial number again. Sounds great even with stock pick ups. Got this one
from Machinehead in Hitchin
UV7 - (903372) I was trying to kid myself I could play
like Vai... this one stays in the case alot but it's nice to have it there
for the odd spell of lunacy (EBoring.............)
RG507 - (F9708732) a second hand buy that ended up
getting a replacement neck at no cost to me (huge thank you to the guys at
Headstock). Wizard 2 neck, bit fatter, bit more to grab onto, still feels
and plays great and once again the stock pick ups aren't too bad, but I do
keep promising myself a change one day. From Musical Exchanges in Brum,
now part of Sound Control
