They have to be the "regular" height adjustment type and not the later "triple" height adjustment type found on the latter models. Can any one help me out please? Many thanks Six   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Friday, August 26, 2005 - 6:40 am:    I'm not letting this one go. You wouldn't want me to stick a pair of cheap surrounds on a Weir now would you? I know one of you guys must have a pair of these sitting in a draw melting away. six   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Friday, August 26, 2005 - 6:41 am:    I'll even pay for them (plus shipping of course). six   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Friday, September 02, 2005 - 11:07 am:    So, have any of you sorted a pair of these out for me yet? Orval! Hasy! HELP!!!   Funkle Username: Funkle Registered: 12-2001 Posted on Friday, September 02, 2005 - 1:28 pm:    There's a rumor that there's a big box of them sitting up on top of a cabinet at Bensalem Has anyone considered having these custom made? You could make the molds and have them cast, or maybe a parts manufacturer could make a run of pickup surrounds with no drillings so they could be custom drilled. There seems to be a lot of demand, and none out there. And as Ibanez become more collectable, and their PU surrounds deteriorate, demand will go up. I think many of us here would pay large sums for a good reproduction. -Sven   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Friday, September 02, 2005 - 1:48 pm:    There is a guy here in the UK who can make you a pair of identicle 59 Gibson creme surrounds for your Les Paul. And I can confirm that they are identicle. I'm not sure the Ibanez versions are quite as expensive as the original Gibbo's but you have a good point Sven. six
