old ibanez restored

[shioks76]

This ibanez (93? mij) was given to my by a gd friend. Was sort of his relic project, hence the color. The whammy bar was lost a long time ago. Frets were worn quite badly. although playable, hints of buzzing were starting to show. Also the pickups were too low output for my liking. The ibanez in qn is on the far right.

After:
The guitar was sent to Guitar77 for a repspray + refret + pups change. Guitar77 sent it to its factory in thailand where its custom guitars (pot brand) are made. After it came back, i bought a wlikinson by Gotoh bridge from maestro and installed it myself at home. (saved me quite a bit of money).Thankfully the bridge was a direct replacement for the old one and even the new posts (for the knife edge) fit in perfectly.

Kudos to G77 for doing an amazing job with the paint/refret

O since someone asked, total damage around $800+. Includes repaint/refret, new pups, bridge, tuners. The vol pot is a bit stiff so might still have to change that, should have done it in the first place though. So apart from the body/neck its like a new guitar.
