Depending on whats under it you might be able to just put a stop bar there and only be left with 6 miniscule holes.

I even saw it on the website as lefty.

I should know. I'm a lefty.

Weird, also I to am lefty. Maybe I just don;t keep up with Ibanez that much.

SORT YOUR SIG OUT.

4 screw holes, + 6 string holes thru the body, really.

too bad its in that goofy shape. i wouldnt have a problem with just ferrules, or even that shape but symmetrical.

otherwise the guitar is OK. i wanna play one now that ive heard robs take.

does it only come in black?

well, it would be ten holes since the plate itself is attached with 4 screws. I would just ditch the plate and run the strings right through the body like that.

don't kill me here, but i think its funny that some people are like. "what, only one pickup"
when those may or may not be the same people that are looking at vintage musicmasters, bronco's and vista series MM's
and to be honest im the type of person that really only uses 1 pickup in a guitar, its rare that i switch,(unless i still had my avri, god i miss that guitar)

OH NOES ONLY 1 PICKUP. That means I might have to vary my attack and picking location to get different tones!

at first i was like "stf dup boy!"
and then i looked at your sig and counted 3, single pickup guitars and i got the joke.

I find I only usually use neck pickups in my guitars really for 90% of the stuff I do lately. I could probably make do without any bridge pickups at all, but I'm not about to rip them out of my guitars and play em with holes. It's also nice to have the option of a brighter sound if I'm so inclined to try and recreate a certain tone. Either way though I could totally see myself getting a musicmaster or Dano U1 someday.

i used to only use the bridge positions on alot of my guitars, but since the tele i made myself and the duo sonic i got off of bubbles its been neck position all the way.
i still use the bridge bucker on my j.s. more than anything.
i wired it wrong years ago and somehow it makes a sound that i like.
the neck position sounds nice, but i like the nasty nasal sound of my jb pup wired like a crack fiend.

lately ive been all about the bridge pup, in both my silvertone and my MM (yeah, yeah, i know)

im more into humbuckers in the neck position, and right now i don't have any (well, after i sell the SG), so maybe thats it.


thats not to say that the neck position of the dano doesnt sound great, but it lacks definition for many situations that i can only get using the bridge, or middle positions.

this would be a cool guitar to customize, as in, make a new body, without swept (or however you'd describe) string-thru, that horrid tailpiece. it'd be super hot then.

set neck mate.

are those impossible to recreate?

ok then, get one for $500 and fill all the holes, and redrill them. there, now it's bad ass.
