Details & History

hi jerry - here is jens from Germany. I wanna show you some pics of my latest acquisition: an USA Custom graphics GRIM REAPER. I've bought it at ebay from a shop at the west coast of the states. when she arrived in Germany (they shipped in a cardboard box - what the hell, with the tremarm in!!! - the strings where broken) the guitar was in very bad condition. she was raped by the former owners, she has a lot of chips and dings all over the body. surprising, the neck is in very good conditions. i brought it to my guitar tec., he has repaired the trem and filled up the wholes in the finish and polished it. now she looks great. I changed the electric, equipped it with a 5-way switch, the mini coilsplitting switch is out of function now.

o.k. here are the facts.

Details & History

Based on the 700 series, the USA Custom series was designed to be an affordable 'custom' range. More customized then custom, you were able to select from a number of finishes, necks, inlays, headstocks, and pick up's to create a guitar for yourself. So whilst not strictly a Luthier's one off, the USA Custom's still are very sort after and collectable. Numbers are very vague and (with the exception of the early very rare pre-production runs thought to number no more then 250 pieces), extremely hard to tie down. (its up to you lot out there that have them to give us details. Please Ed!). Points to notice are the Ibanez Edge trem system, (like the early Jem's) on the Graphic series, with the option for a hard tail on the Exotic woods, and a cutaway neck joint, again like the Jem's and again the exotic woods got the AANJ as a bonus. (Why just them? Ed!). And the rather 'handily' placed volume knob right under the bridge pick up.

The 'Grim Reaper' design is found in the 1991-2 catalogue and is believed to have been available only in this year. If you can help with further information on the guitar, please get in touch.


I'm not sure where I picked this image up. If its yours, Please tell me if you want it removed.
