The Ishibashi Experience

Post by ultratwin »

Bad lighting conditions did nothing good for my camera phone, and the squillions of shop bods giving Mitch and I funky looks made snapping shots a strange affair. Anyway, here were some of the highlights:



Yes, vintage white Jag bass(the far left one is not Fiesta Red)
Image





Aerodyne'd
Image

Image




Pure Strat sexiness: a rack of '62 reissues in delicious tones.
Image

Image
Image



~$900 for a Wide-Ranger, anyone?
Image


Some familiar, some not so familiar...

Nurse!

Those look delightfully glossy. I would so die if I went to Fender Japan.

SAKJHDSA! Wow. Those are amazing. The grey one is so nice. Reminds me of Steve Albini's grey Bean for some reason, but classier.

considering what some boutique pickups cost, i think anything under $150 is reasonable. beyond that you're just a jerk.

Ow lawdy.
I didn't know they made aerodyne in other colours! It's awesome!
Also, America needs more Teles with binding. WTH FENDER MERIKA.

I'm pretty sure they would sell more of that stuff here than Asia?
I dunno.

Keep in mind that you're not in Japan and won't get anything close to $900 for it here. You'll still probably get more money than any pickup is worth though.
