Looks nice. It has much gold on it, which is not usually my thing, but it really does suit that guitar. Binding and scratchplate are cool too. How does it sound?

With the stocks, it sounds sufficient. I've emailed Tim a question about pickup covers.

Either way I'm thinking of putting BKPs in it. Probably MMs.


MMs? Sounds like a good choice for a guitar like that. Tim won't let you down on the advice, that's for sure.

He recommended MMS before, and I've just sent him a message asking if he could engrave the scratchplate design to continue along the pickups, and other touches too.

that is one of the nicest ibanezes i have seen yet, aside from the Via seven stringer, and of course, my own, that one is awsome!

The Floyd Rose feels, hmm.. best way I can describe it is sensitive. I haven't gone out of tune after bashing the thing with divebombs, etc.

The neck is your standard Ibanez, so thin as anything. However it's satin finished, not gloss (i.e. shiny) so it feels dry on the hand, but it still suits me.

I really like the look of that. It screams early 90s! :)
