Always regret selling this one.

Brought the Bubinga into the studio at work today for some proper photos after getting her back together. MY2000 S1520NT, DiMarzio Breed pickups, solderless wiring system, ebony knobs, CTS brass pots (the good ones), brand new Edge Pro w/brass claw, noiseless springs, waiting for a brass block to arrive. Needs a bit of fret work but I had to get her back together before dropping it off at the luthier.

Holy Fu#@* SH!&^#**%@ That looks amazing!!!!

I like the look of the white pickups! Was because of a reflection??

Need napkin now to clean up the drool...

 

[Ape Factory]

Yeah they're polished nickel and I shot it in what's called high key so anything chrome will just reflect the white.

Just bought this mint '93 FGM100. 'chyeah

 

[Ape Factory]

Wow, that must have cost a pretty penny. If you get the chance, could you take close ups of the pickup rings? I'd like to see how they're recessed vs. the stock 540. And if you pull the pickups, shoot the cavity too! Very nice buy, congrats.

my S series is in no way as much of a looker as some of you guys S series but here's my '06 S470 with DiMarzio Tone Zone in the bridge:
I included my JS1200 (previous owner had put the chrome top EVOs in) since it's essentially a fat bodied S

 

[rty13ibz98]

Satriani's are in actuality slightly modified Radius models. The R series is no longer a production model, so many newer players to ibanez assume that the satriani's are an extension of the saber line.

It's Monday, time for more photos! It's a S5EXY time! S5EX1. Haven't done much to this one yet, replaced the horrid stock pickups with S5470 Prestige pickups and the stock knobs with zebrawood knobs. Needs a setup which I'll do tonight. And yes, I know I forgot to put the 5-way switch tip back on. Doh! Didn't notice til I pulled it out of the bag at work today.

I really like the zebrawood top but it needs different neck inlays (or none at all with ebony fretboard). The MOP stuff is too busy. Thinking this would be a killer guitar with an S Prestige neck. If I could just find one that didn't cost as much as the entire guitar!

 

[Captain Butterscotch]

My God, that S is just delicious.

 

[Ape Factory]

Don't worry, I'm going to have a boring green vintage one here in a day or two, LOL.

 

[Ape Factory]

Boring jade green S5470, 1993, AANJ, fitted with brass big block, noiseless springs, brass, screws. Stock everything else. Amazing shape for a guitar this old. Not mint due to wear on the metal parts and a small nick on one corner but otherwise she's very clean and the neck has zero wear.

 

[FrancescoFiligoi]

So, here's a pic of my "new" '93 FGM100. Love it!

[Ape Factory]

Wow. Just wow. I have a mint FGM400 neck coming in tomorrow for a build. I'll post pics.

Currently loaded with a Tom Anderson HO1+ in the bridge and HO1- in the neck. I had them lying around and finally got sick of the stock pickups so I threw them in there. They're amazing pickups, just a bit too vintage sounding for my taste. I'm really tempted to pick up an EMG JH set, the covers on them look like they would match the hardware colour perfectly.

Ape-Factory, where on earth did you find a Zebra top S?! That's so awesome
