Hutton Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) My 1981 Ibanez RS840BK Fretless. The body was in a poor state so it has been refinished with relicing to match the neck and tuners which are all original. The truss rod cover was missing and the knobs were incorrect. A replica truss rod and correct knobs were obtained from the USA. The original pickups and bridge were also present. The electrics were completely bizarre and so had to be completely renewed. The result is a very nice vintage Ibanez which sounds marvellous. Edited September 13, 2023 by Hutton 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilorius Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share Posted October 5, 2023 Interesting - what year Ibanez would be considered as "vintage" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll get a different answer from everyone you ask to define such a nebulous term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutton Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I was once told that anything over 25 years old is vintage. I reckon that my Ibanez at 42 years old could fairly be described as vintage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that definitely makes me vintage then... not that I was fooling anyone anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 My last remaining Ibanez is just one month younger than me, so pretty close to turning 40 (December 1983). I consider it vintage, but I'm not quite ready to be called that myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although that might be because I'm not comfortable considering the 90s as a 'vintage' era just yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is pretty much antique then 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
