Snagged another example of my favorite Ibanez model. I try to jump on these whenever they come up for sale if I can. The S6527/5527 were the first higher tier guitar models I was ever able to afford and they are the best shredders I've ever played so now I like to collect them. Anyways, behold...my stuff.
The Oak tops on these can vary a great deal, as you can see. I'm stoked as hell to now have great representations of the lace and flame figuring they can come with. As my GF calls it, "stripes and polka dots". The marbling of the rosewood can vary a great deal as well, a lot more than the tops. This one isn't so much marbled, but it does have some interesting coloration.
