new guitars x 4

Post by hendrix1234 »

i have aquired some new guitars in the last few months, ive tried to cut down my purchases/trades but meh.

firstly is an old 1978 ibanez musician my mate got given by his neighbour a few years ago, apparently is sat in his shed for years(not in a case mind you) so he gave it to my mate knowing he plays guitar.
i went over when he first got it a cleaned it up and wired some new pickups in etc... and i was surprised that it was in one piece.
It has a few chips/dings etc but the neck is straight as and doesnt have any cracks or anything, it plays great. i ended up trading a lighter guitar for it(need a guitar for a friends kid to learn on) as this thing weighs a ton but i love it.
it also has a super 70 pickup in the bridge which from my research didnt come standard with these guitars? they were super 88's or i think or 58's. im deciding what to do with the neck pickup i wired in
its a duncan designed and it sounds really good. i need a pickup ring or something.

Next up is a prs se santana, that has had the body repainted in 2 pak,i traded some stuff for this and put a set of p-rails in it with some mini switches.
It plays fantastic and i can get sooo many sounds out of it.

I also bought my old sg back of my mate, its an '08 sg special which is stock except i replaced the bridge humbucker with a JB.

Lastly is a guitar i bought today and have been playing with for the last few hours.
Its a new 70's vintage modified strat, i wasnt going to get it but it looked so good and was soo cheap and the pickups sound fantastic.
so i got them to hold it for me as it was the only all black/maple one in stock anywhere near me. Ive had heaps of strats over the years but im loving this one.
ive got a cij 72 reissue in white/maple and they are fairly similar, except the white one has a bigger neck.

i really need to stock buying guitars, but lately squier have been making it hard as they are bringing out some quality stuff

Good score on the Ibanez Musician, they are difficult to find and a well respected model. 8)

ibanez musician is sweet. the missing pickup makes me sad though. those pickups are pretty rare (obviously, since they were only on this guitar and the similar greco model), and they are kind of a cool unique design.
