I live in Thailand....   Captainibanez Username: Captainibanez Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Friday, August 24, 2007 - 3:05 am:    Chips ,my only suggestion would be to see if a generic brand will fit the machine head, otherwise keep a eye on Ebay and see if a set of machine heads come up for grabs or you might want to replace the whole set with a set of Ibanez machine heads that are used on the AR3000 Artist. The part number for them is MB506G. These are gold and have the pearl buttons on the ends. You can order these through your nearest Ibanez dealer using the part number I have given you.

P.S. The previous idiot owner put a hole in the back to replace strap button..can you recommend how I might repair this...Not mega-important again but I hate to see guiatrs mistreated....unless they're Kahler fitted strats of course...
