Late 80s Vester II Concert Series in Silver Crackle, though it's more of a pale gold/silver combo in person. I didn't realize they had a sparkle effect in the crackle, so that's a plus.
Normally I'd say this belongs in a NGD thread however it's not going to be mine for long. My little cousin who has expressed substantial (and more importantly, consistent) interest in playing guitar, so I started showing him the basics a little while ago and he's all about it. He seems to loves 80s stuff (Dokken and Savatage... could bring a tear to my eye) and flashy guitars so here's hoping I hit the nail on the head.
I was looking for a used RG or some other Japan-made Ibanez that someone didn't realize they had for cheap when this popped up on FB marketplace. $300 loonies later, here she is. Personally speaking, if this was my first guitar I'd be fucking psyched. He's also obsessive over Floyds / whammy bars, which while awesome might be a bit of a hurdle for a newbie so I think I'm gonna set it up as dive-only - he can learn the secrets of full-floating as he progresses.
It needs a setup and such but honestly I'm genuinely surprised how well it plays. Punches waaay above its weight, that's for sure. Not in the same league as my ESPs and whatnot but for $300 worth of monopoly money, it's a steal and a half. The only thing I'm concerned with is the SFT70-A tremolo. I haven't heard much about them and their quality, though so far it seems alright. I do hate the wood screw trem studs, though. Bridge hum is a Schaller (?) which is interesting. Not amazing, not bad. Neck pup is a DiMarzio of some sort, I'll figure out what when I take everything apart.
In the event he ends up not sticking with guitar I most definitely want it back - I've had a rainbow crackle Vester in my GAS folder for years and while not the same this one is pretty killer, IMO.
