In my ongoing hunt for looking for Ibanez models nobody here wants, except me, I've got the Jetking gas bug.

I'd love to have the JT4 Bigsby models and probably change the pickups to HSP90s or Gold Foils or something. But it seems these are becoming scarce and those who own them aren't letting them go anytime soon. I should've snagged one years ago.

Looks like there’s one on Music Go Round for a decent price: https://www.musicgoround.com/produc...MI2sjkm8bBhAMVCofCCB3WKw3zEAQYASABEgJsYvD_BwE

My dream Ibanez has finally gone up for sale, only 12 of these were made. Been after a Cherry Blossom RG since I joined SSO with the RG2820qz.

What fucking psychopath does such a thing??? I think I'm going to be sick...

The perp needs to be held accountable.

DuR dUr DuR, I want to evertune this 1 of 12 models in existence, dUr DuR dUr.

What a jackass.

Very curious to know what happened that they needed to add the border around the evertune. The original trem was larger than the evertune maybe?

Personally I think the most egregious crime is the guy trying to sell it after the mods.

I'm all down for committing to irreversible mods, knowing resale value will plummet to hell, as long as I intend to keep it for good. But people fall on hard times I guess.

EDIT: Just saw the Reverb site and pricing...

Isn't there a trick to keeping the edges from chipping when routing a finished guitar? Tape or something? Maybe more tricky with a veneer? I mean, the rear trem route chipping is not a deal breaker for me, its the other thing.

You can put tape over the cut and that will help a little bit, but it's also about bit speed, depth, and feed direction in relation to the grain.

After talking with the builder, who is a genuinely swell dude, I decided to nut up and order another Ronciswall Vapor 7 guitar. Current wait time is about 10 months. This Christmas is gonna be lit.

These were the runner up configurations I considered:

Combat seven string.


What's the deal with Combat I see used high-specced customs go from anywhere from ¥100,000 to ¥400,000.

I like their Kohey signature. He's a pretty swell dude too. Took the time to answer some stupid questions I had about some 90s~ Aria he used to own.

They don't have high resale value for many of their used guitars. I bought one cheap that was beat up. You can tell it was a very high quality guitar new but the one I bought was played to death.

I think some sellers are overly optimistic with price but the cheaper ones tend to sell.
