It's a 2680 w/ a 3rd pickup plus pup on/off toggles like the Cowboy. It seems like someone was trying to build a poor man's Cowboy, or, could it have been a prototype?   Strings Username: Strings Registered: 01-2005 Posted on Wednesday, November 16, 2005 - 2:10 pm:    MK: Where did you find this? Is it for sale?   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Wednesday, November 16, 2005 - 2:39 pm:    The toggles setup is eerily similar to Weir's 2681. He had a single coil in the middle plus he had 5 pots. It is for sale: 650 Euro. Here's the translation: "Ibanez self-development larva in Japan of approx. 1977". Maybe it is a prototype.   Bobzilla Username: Bobzilla Registered: 02-2005 Posted on Wednesday, November 16, 2005 - 6:54 pm:    On the surface....Doesn't seem to have enough tone/volume controls for the amount of pickups.   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, December 19, 2006 - 12:16 pm:    More Weir'dness.... I found the picture above last year and was never able to find it again. I know it was from a German or Dutch website. Today I found this: I suspect it's the same guitar, however, the pups (or covers) were changed from Super 70's to Super 80's and the toggles were replaced with a 5-way selector switch. Very weird.... It came from this link: http://www.wutzdog-guitars.de/DIbanProf-3PU.htm btw...check out the others from this site: http://www.wutzdog-guitars.de/WutzIbanez.htm mk   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, December 19, 2006 - 12:18 pm:    Oops. Here's the correct picture:   Cooltouch Username: Cooltouch Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Tuesday, December 19, 2006 - 1:59 pm:    It's the same guitar. The woodgrain is an exact match. Best, Michael   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, December 19, 2006 - 3:58 pm:    I agree.   Jeffm725 Username: Jeffm725 Registered: 06-2005 Posted on Tuesday, December 19, 2006 - 5:09 pm:    I like it better the first way, the weir way. Shouldnt have changed the mini-toggles imho very well could be a prototype.   Strings Username: Strings Registered: 01-2005 Posted on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 12:01 am:    Bet that thing sounds f*ckin' great!
