Yes, the Third Floor at the SDC (Quality Control Shipping warehouse) outside Nagoya, I had a list of the inventory there, They keep all the prototypes like the Jeff Beck one, However the best collection is in Germany at the Minel office, they Kept on brand new guitar of every model since they start in the 70's, they have a floor with noting but an Ibaenz Museum. I have never been ther ebut i have seen photo's. I can't seem to find a link to it on the web.

Wouldn't it be nice to see if we can organise an ICW trip to Germany to visit that Ibanez Museum? I'm sure some of us will faint being around all those beauties.
And if Germany is to far I will drive there myself and shoot some pics and post them here. I'm in Holland after all ;-)

Dave:
I wholeheartedly agree! Now we just need someone with a camera who lives in the area.

I think Jim meant the MEINL Office.. Germany's distributor of Ibanez and manufacturer of Meinl Cymbals...

I just realized that the place the above conversation was about is where all the vintage catalogs scans in German came from.

I think Rob Terstal a.k.a. TELSTAR can answer that question for you.

I know that TELSTAR provided Harry and Hasy with some catalogue scans. Also he uploaded pics I had NEVER seen before (several different axes with red fretboards for instance). I think he's a Meinl employee or has very close contacts there. You could e-mail him. A search for Telstar and a click away... what a wonderful world, isn't it?
