You can lazer cut almost anything now. six   Tristan Username: Tristan Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Thursday, March 22, 2007 - 8:02 pm:    Yes, but it's the first time I see this on an Ibanez guitar and I've been wondering if it's original and if it is, from when?   Bluesmeister Username: Bluesmeister Registered: 5-2004 Posted on Thursday, March 22, 2007 - 11:51 pm:    Six, I think Tristan may be referring to the treble clef.   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 3-2002 Posted on Friday, March 23, 2007 - 1:58 am:    Yeah, but i thought the whole thing looked moody BM six   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Friday, March 23, 2007 - 4:56 am:    Tris, Did you compare it to the old one with the zero fret you acquired a few weeks ago? If it's the same, then you have the correct description now: IBANEZ VINTAGE (Model 1860) NAGOYA JAPAN. The fact that Nagoya was mentioned, indicates that the guitar has a label. You could ask the seller if the model number is on the label. I wonder if the wooden ornament on the tailpiece is original. It seems to come from a Barney Kessel model. I think it's wise to start an extra thread in Hasy's department.

The thing is that I also went to a vintage store here to test a 60's Gibson 175 and was dissatisfied with it too. Apparently the tone I was looking for didn't exist in such a small body with the pickup being halfway from the bridge. I had to get an L-5 copy.. and now gosh I'm so happy.   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Friday, March 23, 2007 - 2:27 pm:    You mean the Hondo? Ginger   Tristan Username: Tristan Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Friday, March 23, 2007 - 3:06 pm:    Yes, it's by far the most comfortable guitar I ever played. In the store I've been to, I've tested many archtops and a few Gibsons. There are some solos by Wes that I know by heart. I normally play with a pick. However in the slower passages when I can play with my thumb along with a cd, that guitar gives me THAT distinguished sound. That's what I've been looking for, and I'm very surprised by the build quality it's very sturdy. I didn't expect that. It feels like an expensive instrument in my hands. More than the Gibsons I've tested and Ibanez guitars I owned in the past. I decided to take this even after I had an offer for an Aria PE-190 Robert Conti.. The Hondo sounds better. So I guess you can tell I'm satisfied. and you know how long it has taken me to do that..   Sabeking Username: Sabeking Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Friday, March 23, 2007 - 4:53 pm:    Tristan, did you ever post a picture of it? I would love to see it... Stacey   Tristan Username: Tristan Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Friday, March 23, 2007 - 7:11 pm:    Yes, here. but really, I can't take pictures that make any justice to the finish or the nice grain on the spruce top. It was manufactured in the Tokai factory in Japan in '81, until '83 Hondo ordered most of their guitars from that factory. But really, it's a guitar with ALOT of character. It sounds like a real vintage Gibson L-5CES. I can't see myself now parting with it. It didn't cost me much also, 500 euro. I'm not afraid to jam with it. It's not fragile.. very sturdy!   Talajuha Username: Talajuha Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Friday, March 30, 2007 - 3:36 pm:    Which brand, besides Ibanez, has used that G-clef on its guitars? I saw it in a picture on a record cover, John Lee Hooker playing a semi hollow. I can't say what the logo was, too blurred, could be Ibanez, but has Hooker played one. Juha
