chaypup Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 I'm the highest bidder on this at the moment but there's no way i'm going to be able to afford the final price on this so I might as well spill the beans and show you this beauty.......

Paul S Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) Anyone care to venture an opinion about his oddity?

And 26 frets? Edited December 21, 2012 by Paul S Quote
Beer of the Bass Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 If I had to guess, I'd assume that's home made. The chunky neck pocket and weird taper to the neck are exactly what you get when you work with limited tooling and no experience! I've never seen a factory neck shaped quite like that as it approaches the heel. Quote
Beer of the Bass Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Rather nice price for a MIJ Ibanez, if anyones in West Lothian or doesn't mind driving a bit.

Truss rod covers were originally wood ('79 walnut stain), being replaced by plastic circa 1980, although some of the higher end and the likes of the B&G range had metal. Quote
