Features

I Have know idea what year this guitar was made in, but i do know it was made in japan by the plate on the back. It has 21 frets and i believe its a laminated top.
It has 1 tone and 1 volume nob and a 3 way toggle switch for the 2 cover single coil tele pickups. i dont have any idea what brand of pickups it has or what kind of wood the body or neck is made out of. definitly passive electronics though. its got a tele vintage style bridge.

The guitar could use some work to achieve the sound im looking for, but i play alot of hard rock and this is a tele with stock pickups i think, but it has great potential. The neck and body seem to be made out of something good. but i think the pots are going bad because it has a loud buzzing sound when plugged into an amp.

the things got a great action. The neck a similar feal to a fenders neck. Its got a real anitiqe look about it. its got a vintage white finish which is like a creme color, with a white pickguard. some of the frets seem to be slightly coroded but doesnt seem to affect playing. the tuners seem to be a little on the down side, the guitar goes out of tune way to easily but ill replace those l8ter.

very durabile guitar has been banged around SOO MUCH but seem to keeps its shape. the hard ware is the biggest downfall of this guitar. the tuners suck, like i said the frets are slightly coroded, and the bridge is slightly coroded as well.

i have never heard of this company, so if anyones got any information then once again please email me at ibanezgtrstdude@aol.com

i have currently been playing for about 3 and a half years, this guitar was my first guitar. I now play a suped up squier fat strat through a little 12 watt marshall with zoom affect. I pretty much play anything from the blue to metal.

I think this guitar was built around 1975,given to my uncle as a gift, and given to me lately as a gift, built I believe in the USA. 22 frets, solid laminated black front, back and front of headstock. Laquered wood sides, neck and back of headstock. All hardware and functions similar to Les Paul Standard. 4 pull out knobs, (2 tone, 2 volume for each humbucker. Treble/shared/rhythm selector. In restoration, I installed 2 Dimarzio tone zone humbuckers, which replaced existing crome vintage style humbuckers. Passive electronics, although I plan on installing an active system. White outlined maple body, mable neck, ebony fretboard. Laquer finish over entire guitar. Les Paul body. Gibson Les Paul bridge and hardware. Grover tuners, non-locking. Thin neck, jumbo frets, large mother of pearl inlays, white outlined neck. No included excessories. This piece came to me in dire need of restoration. I am 95% complete.

This guitar suits my music style, from punk to blues, to classical. I use only a fender stage 112. Clean/dirty channels. Lots of low end. She's as quiet as can be, except obviously when the dirty channel is on. This piece hits tight, clear and defined notes. Harmonics are especially easy to get. Extreamely rich. This is the rare guitar for any player of any type of playing. It basically does what you want it to do. My only complaint is that I prefer my action exteamely low for speed, control and playablity, this guitar has somewhat stock height. I plan on lowering it a few mms.

The action is still at stock height, but will be lowered. As of now this guitar is very much not stock, thanks to my undieing need to soup up all of my guitars. Pickups are adjusted similar to Gibson Les Paul Standard. Well adjusted. All cutting and routing perfect. 1 loose knob , which will be replaced upon installation of all new electronics.

Yes, you can play this piece all day, until you get too tired to play it. This guitar is probably 10 years older than me, and dispite my long ours of playing, I expect never to see much wear, unless I abuse it or leave it out in the rain, which I do not expect to do. I have only one other guitar I regularly play, and only use it for special purposes.(RR1). I would be completely confident that I could play Giant Stadium without worry. But then I am simple player.

I have never heard of or seen another of its make, nor the manufacuter. I do all repairs on my babies. No known warrantee.

I am 20 now finishing my 8th year playing. I own a fender stage 112, some effects pedals (worthless things), a Jackson RR1, Fender USA strat, some strings and cords and picks. (Downsized my gear lately.) If this guitar was stolen or lost, I could only be heartbroken, because it is very one of a kind. I love the fact that my hard work restoring it has made it special and priceless to all. I love everything about it...It is a part of me. I compare it to the best production guitars I own and have played. PRS, Les Paul, Jackson and Fender. Better than ANY strat. The future of this guitar is in my hands, and hopefully it will stay there.
