I am looking to buy an Ibanez Destroyer "Phil Collen" type from the eraly 80'S. message me if you have something or know someone. Thanks a million!   Lethargytartare Username: Lethargytartare Registered: 03-2006 Posted on Thursday, March 02, 2006 - 4:03 pm:    Funny you should ask -- I just resolved to sell my DT155 -- that I got a while ago in a trade. Upgraded with a Washburn Wonderbar, but no string locks (ugly attempt, I'm guessing). Lots of pics here: http://www.harrisonfamily.org/bass/ibanezdestroyer/ Let me know where you're located -- I'm near Chicago, IL. Cheers! ltt   Thepouet Username: Thepouet Registered: 03-2006 Posted on Thursday, March 02, 2006 - 4:07 pm:    Very Nice! But I am looking for the one with the block inlays. i know i know picky me!! I live in Canada, Montreal.   Lethargytartare Username: Lethargytartare Registered: 03-2006 Posted on Thursday, March 02, 2006 - 10:48 pm:    Not picky at all :-) that's the DT555, I believe, and it's a pretty nice step up -- set neck, better bridge, etc. Best of luck!! ltt   Thepouet Username: Thepouet Registered: 03-2006 Posted on Thursday, March 02, 2006 - 11:01 pm:    Thanks, i'll remeber that!   Robertf Username: Robertf Registered: 02-2006 Posted on Friday, March 03, 2006 - 1:09 am:    There is a DT-555 up for auction on ebay right now. Kind of beat up but all ebay destroyers seem to be kind of rough. I bought one of these a couple of months ago and the stock trem on mine is just awful. I've read quite a few posts on this site about problems with this bridge system (Pro Rock'r) so you might want to consider the cost of repair/replacement when looking. They pop up on ebay more than you might think if you’re looking for one in better cosmetic condition. http://www.qksrv.net/click-1802666-10381315?loc=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI .dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D7393890753   Thepouet Username: Thepouet Registered: 03-2006 Posted on Friday, March 03, 2006 - 1:34 am:    Thanks Robertf, but i can't seem to make the link function. I did a search on e-bay and could not find it..   Robertf Username: Robertf Registered: 02-2006 Posted on Friday, March 03, 2006 - 3:00 am:    It is item # 7393890753 "Ibanez destroyer with fitted case" http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7393890753&rd=1&sspagename=ST RK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1   Robertf Username: Robertf Registered: 02-2006 Posted on Friday, March 03, 2006 - 3:22 am:    One thing to note about this guitar is that the removed string lock is a large piece sitting behind the nut. If you look at the pic of the guitar in its case it looks like the black finish is missing or obscured by something. The close up pic of the head stock cuts off right before this area by the nut. I would ask for a pic of this area before bidding, maybe ask around to see if those strap peg holes could be repaired. I would guess if the string lock has been removed the trem has been set up to be a fixed tailpiece.   Thepouet Username: Thepouet Registered: 03-2006 Posted on Friday, March 03, 2006 - 9:16 am:    Thanks Robertf!!! great find. I will ask for more picks. I don't mind imperfections, i can do work on guitars.
