IBANEZ CUSTOM SHOP!!!!

 

[War_Blade]

I dont supose anybody would be selling theirs for $2600...

 

[RobbM]

no, most likely private collectors scooped them up pritty quick. there is another rare Ibby on Ebay right now, not as rare as this one, but its up there being one of the first year run J customs and an influence on Petruccis 90th aniversary model. Fair price at an opening bid of $1900..

Someday, someone here's gonna open a thread here about my custom shop signature model RG, and you'll all be eyeballing that, because of its sheer awesomeness.

 

[RobbM]

yes, very rare GMC, one of the most sought after Jems. However, would I really trust someone with no feedback with a $3000+ item? I don't think so, not without escrow.

Yeah, can't wait to see your custom shop Daisy Rock guitar!!

 

[War_Blade]

lol!

when i get my ibanez signature line, i think ill have to come out with at least one badass v, thats one thing ibanez lacks these days...

then i'll have a few rg models, slap some naked girls on the paintjob...

 

[RobbM]

speaking of V's, check these out, both under $400 and 1 is a maple neck..

7422572534

 

[War_Blade]

jesus christ, the maple neck's highest bid is only
$157!

I just spent about $350 on instructional videos and books too... god damnt... I should just start saving up my alcohol money for a while and buy a new guitar. I could just bum alcohol off people for a while i guess...

a bit off topic but do you know the what v's paul gilbert uses all the time?

 

[RobbM]

I'm not entirely sure, but I'm guessing a RocketRoll, but if its 24 fret, i'm not sure, to my knowledge Ibby didnt make a 24 fret V shape, they do now, but its a retarded looking V. Its possible he has some custom shop V's..

 

[Horus]

I need a cheap knockaround Flying V that I can throw in a gigbag and bring to school. I'd get so many chicks if I brought in a flying v.

@ Robb: I know exactly which retarted looking V you're talking about and I almost threw up when I saw it. I eventually grew to find it funny though. For every few amazing things Ibanez does, they do something equally as stupid.

 

[RobbM]

you want a no-name like this?

7423683075

but i'd spend the extra money and get good guitar, like this:

7424164268

 

[War_Blade]

I also suspect it is a custom shop
here is him playing it

sorry, its not very good but here

[RobbM]

it looks like a destroyer V, but the headsock has the newer Ibby swoosh logo, which makes me think its a custom shop.

here a pic of the origional destoyers

[War_Blade]

you see the swoosh logo? looks like the old one to me.

the only difference i can spot is that PG's is a hardtail

 

[RobbM]

after looking again, your right, no swoosh, it was glare off the truss rod cover. well, its an Ibanez Destroyer rocketroll V circa 1980ish then..

although, after watchin the vid a few more times, I cant see the side indents like the destroyers had, so, hmm, its a tough one...you can also see it clearly here

http://youtube.com/watch?v=0jg1KuVTask&search=paul gilbert

so its a tough call...

 

[RobbM]

Eureka!!!

after 1 1/2 hours of research, I found it, its a Rocket Roll II!!!
