Title: Ibanez SG
Post by: Chris P. on January 14, 2008, 11:38:05 AM

Some guy I know is refretting and selling this bass. A 70s bolt on neck Ibanez SG copy, with a broken pick guard. See pic:

What should one pay for such a bass?

Unlike Ibanez LP and Strat copies in the mid to late 70s, their EB3 copies leaned a bit to the inaccurate side, and in a bad way.  Not a bad ho, but eh level at best.  There was not a lot of refinement to the Ibanez badged copies from earlier 70s efforts, hence the bolt on neck, junk bridge and not-close mudbucker.  The guard, I believe, is not broken but was cut out to fit a cover which was more like a P-bass cover.  Gibson sat theirs on top and fit a plastic pad on the E string side, but Ibanez copies were not about fit and finish.

I would suspect that this would sell for a little more than what it would cost to pay someone to refret it.

That pup combo looks like on my Ibanez Rocket Roll/Flyiing V. Kind of lame, not mudbucker might.
