I just changed a Fender Highway Strat (US made) into an Ibanez Silver Series Strat (sn. B791472, a '79 that should'nt exist at all!) which in my opinion sounds better. Colour is sunburst, and the guitar looks as if built of solid alder. It's not. The alder finish is 2mm thick, and under it the wood is dark, coarse grained and very soft. It seems to consist of at least two pieces. Those pieces are about half as thick as the body itself, and are glued in cross. The neck (maple)is fantastic. 12" radius with a slab fingerboard. Truss rod adjustment is at the body end. In spite of the apparingly cheap body the sound of the guitar is as good as any strat I've played. Am I owner of the only Ibanez Strat copy of this kind and date?
