Rare Ibanez models

[lefty robb]

holy fuck, those are really awesome. love that bass-look of the AFD. would love to see more natural and oil finishes like those in today's ibanez program.

Aside from the headstock, I always loved those. (Wonder if PRS had anything to say about those) Seeing as Ibanez has been in a huge reissuing frenzy, we can only hope.

Ibanez RG548 NTM , I don't think alot of people know about this guitar.
It's a euro/japanese model only been produced 2 or 3 years in the late 90s and is special because of its ash body.

oh, and it's mine

6K for a guitar with an undisclosed accident that needed professional repair?

Yes. The accident was that a pile of JBL sandfilled super-subwoofers slid loose in our touring bus, and put a lot of weight on a few guitar and basses, stacked in theyr cases. This caused a pressure on the front of the body on my AFD and broke 3 pickup ears, and made a crack in the rear of the body. The guitar had to be completely disassembled and taken to a professional piano builder, who gently opened up the wound and used some special pearl based glue to glue the crack and then pressed it together in a vice that was built specially to contour the shape of the body. Of course repairs of this kind can never be perfect, but I think it came out great. The body did not loose any resonance ( due to the piano soundbottom pearl glue) and the pickups had the ears epoxied on again and work fine. All in all the only aesthetic minus on the guitar is my name on the headstock-nut cover and engraved on the tremolo. I have had this done to all my 50+ guitars since I was 8 years old, except for my acoustics. But all in all the guitar looks and works great.

Thats awesome!

but uh... Ibanez :: Electric Guitars :: RG470AH now what makes it special is the edge trem and I'm guessing it being MIJ

I don't have this anymore but it was alright. Later model RT650, I wanted the earlier one with the thicker neck. Sold it to buy an RG7X21 I've had for 4 months or so now. Pretty amazing seeing I kept selling electrics every other week.

^ Woah thats sexy. I like "straty" ibanezes.

Your's is nice too Rob.

^ Agreed, the RTs were badass - Love that teal one!! And the basis for AT's first sig model, before he moved to the SA body.

Thanks man - I used to be a die-hard Ibby freak. Now I'm a generalized freak. lol!

I'm sure you've all seen these, but they're fairly hard to come across and I love the execution on them. My pair of NAMM Puzzle Tops - Natty = Ovangkol and Flame Maple puzzle pieces, the red is Quilt and Flame puzzle pieces...

That Ovangkol and flame maple one is the best Ibanez i have ever seen. Rob your collection is just totally insane.

That natural puzzle-top is unbelievable. Jesus. I don't even like Ibanez and I want that something awful!
