2pods Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 (edited) For all my moaning about my original Ibby SR1305 Premium, I've been missing it after I sold it. So, something very similar, but more towards the "Dark (wood) Side". Thanks to Guitar Guitar I now have this SR1355B-DUF Premium in Dual Mocha Burst Flat. It's the same old, same old for me Nordy Big Singles, same 3 band EQ with passive switch, and 3 way Mid frequency switch, but no gold tuners or bridge (which I only think work on some finishes, so yay me !) The matt finish is different for Ibanez. Very warm to the touch. Everything is as it should be, though I'll possibly drop the string height. Incidentally, FYI Ibanez now seem to supply Premium SR's with a reasonable Gigbag, rather than the soft/hard case of yore. I'm well pleased Edited December 13 by 2pods 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 That's a looker. How does it play? What do all the switches do? Guessing the knobs are vol, pan & a 3-band? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pods Posted December 12 Author Share Posted December 12 (edited) Switches are eq on/off and three way mid frequency selector Controls are Volume, Balance, EQ controls Bass, Mid, and Treble are cut and boost. The Nordstrand pickups with that circuit is very versatile, but very clear too. Very fast neck with 16.5mm string spacing and 38mm nut. The matt finish is almost velvet-ty Walnut/Panga Panga/Maple top - African Mahogany Body An Atlas 5 five piece neck made from Panga Panga/Purpleheart with KTS Titanium Rods. Bound Panga Panga fingerboard. Looks a bit like wenge, but not as hard. More details to be had on Ibanez's product page Edited December 12 by 2pods 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2pods Posted December 13 Author Share Posted December 13 ISTR there was somebody on here who had a SR Premium with 12 piece (i think) multi ply neck. I think it was a 2600, or something ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted December 13 Share Posted December 13 I had a SR2605 - that had a 15pc neck, Panga Panga, Maple, Padauk, Purpleheart and Walnut Headstock looked like this: 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pods Posted December 13 Author Share Posted December 13 That's the one ! For some reason I was havering between 12 and 16 piece, and I would still be wrong ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted December 15 Share Posted December 15 Wow! More than a lot of Alembics! (Less than an ExFactor.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted December 15 Share Posted December 15 Certainly makes a very stable neck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
