Look at the satisfied smile on the face of this Ibanez hunter: I finally laid my hands on an Ibanez Plexi Dan Armstrong copy. I already had the guitar version, so now the two "brothers" are reunited in my collection. What d'ya think: nice couple huh? I'm proud enough to show off.......

What PU's are there on the guitar?. Must look very impressing oŽn stage with some nice lights on... /Steph Harry Username: Harry Registered: 03-2001 Posted on Sunday, January 08, 2006 - 2:21 pm:    Hi Steph Yep, you're right: there is no logo on the guitar. So officially it is NOT an Ibanez (because it does not say so), but it's 100% Hoshino made. Maybe they "forgot" to put on a logo, but fact is that I've seen more "Ibanez" guitars without logo. The pups in the guitar: the one nearest to the neck is a Maxxon, the other one is a replacement of unknown origin. I haven't checked yet what pups are in the bass; probably Maxxon's too. Both the bass and the guitar were built around 1972. Kind greetz, Harry Johnm Username: Johnm Registered: 08-2001 Posted on Sunday, January 08, 2006 - 5:10 pm:    Hey Harry, Nice duo!

I was thinking a while back that it may be worth getting a run of script logo's made up. I have one replacement but I haven't seen any on ebay only the block transfer. six Smakutus Username: Smakutus Registered: 01-2006 Posted on Sunday, January 08, 2006 - 7:32 pm:    Dan Armstrongs don't have logos on the headstock either.. Perhaps they were just copying that too at first? Jeff Guitartim Username: Guitartim Registered: 04-2001 Posted on Sunday, January 08, 2006 - 11:39 pm:    Congratulations, Harry! They look fantastic. How do those hotrods handle? Harry Username: Harry Registered: 03-2001 Posted on Monday, January 09, 2006 - 11:35 am:    Both guitar and bass play very well and have comfortable necks. Both instruments are quite heavy. The guitar's sound is pretty average; the neck pickup (or should I say: the "middle" pickup since it is positioned in the middle of the body?) is kinda dull sounding, the bridge pickup is very powerful, but like I told before: it's a replacement. The bass however is very warm and deep sounding, without being old-fashioned. But to be honest: you all know I rather collect than play these old beauties.....
