    Ibanez is the only brand I've played since 98' ..never had an issue with the quality...

      I was approached with a [low level] endorsement contract in the late 00's or the early 10's and that was the main reason I wasn't interested : ending having to use a single brand while not getting paid for it, and even havig to pay, although with a big discount, for the custom shop...
      Actually, they can't even reach the specs of what I use due to patents like the needle-bearings trem bar or the 90/10 neck (Vigier), the floating table (Leduc), 100+ years old woods (Leduc, Xavier Petit), etc etc...
      Actually, I only own a single Ibanez that is a cheap Talman acoustic, well, as a pure acoustic, it sucks but when you use the piezos in a PA, that's OK, so it's really cool to take her to play in bars where I don't want to take risks for my 1975 Aria "lawsuit" J-200 copy.
      Thus, I know similar stuff to the Japan-CS since I own a Roland G-707 that was built by the Fujigen Gakki's Custom Shop.
      I tend to prefer old Matsumoku stuff with neckthru to Fujigen's stuff...

    • @frankthetank-4857

    • @Haroun-El-Poussah
      @Haroun-El-Poussah Місяць тому

      ​@@frankthetank-4857If it was the case, I would usea JEM Custom Shop Artist instead of the Vigier Excalibur. I also rejected a Fender endorsement, BTW.
      The best solid body guitar I had in hands over 40 years is the Vigier Passion III-9/10... You're unlikely to ever touch one of these : only 46 were built, I own two of these.
      My favourite Ibanez is the Artfield AFD-45, thus, they should have made it as a neckthru... could have been better...
      FIY, Ibanez (Hoshino Gakki) stopped building guitars in 1966... ALL under this brand were ghostbuilt since. For the MiJ ones, they're mainly OEM built by Fujigen Gakki, thus, most of neckthru high end, at least until 1987, seems clearly out of Matsumoku's...
      If you want real serious guitars, they're near all from small companies making only high end destined to professional musicians, other great stuff comes from independent artisans. Master luthier Chris Leduc, who built 6 of my instruments, got an incredible offer to work at Fender's custom shop and turned it down... I was jealous when he used 250yo woods for Ritchie Blackmore's guitar : the oldest wood I have on my Leducs is only a 1895 Brazilian rosewood... I also have 50's Honduran mahogany and 1920's padauk used on my Leducs...
      My 2 main mahogany guitars were built by late Xavier Petit who used a ca.1905 Honduan mahogany... I managed to get Leduc's 1895 rosewood reaching the fretboard This one loks a bit like a PRS but weights as much as a LesPaul, the other one looks like a Charvel San Dimas and fits the job of a 1963 SG. By the way, in a blind test vs. a 1960 "burst" Les Paul, the X.Petit "PRS" won... The owner of the 1960 LP thought it was his guitar as the XP one sounded better.
      I'm now considering to buy some 8000, 10,000 and even 60,000 years old woods for the next ones...

    Please bring back the SZ520QM - 25.1 inch scale, HH, 3-on-the-side headstock, big comet on the 12th fret (no dots!!!) and chrome pickup rings. That was one of the most unique instruments you ever built:
    It looked gorgeous, played exceptionally well,and got more tones that you can wish for with the middle split+independent volume configuration.
    I'm a lefty and selling that guitar was the biggest regret of my life - I just can't find another one (I think the one I sold ended up on Reverb at some point).
    If I have to have only one guitar for the rest of my life, that will be it.

    OMG I mean really O M G those are brilliant bits of kit.
    Super cool and Super posy (but in a nice way)
    Missing info: price rage? I mean price range?
    On other hand change Cola to Marmalade? Seville Marmalade

    1, 3 and 4 are just beautiful. The 2nd imo just isn't it, the balance of wood/epoxy is off and thw koa itself is mid. Looks like a muddy pond or smth
