I dont mean to upset anyone........especialy the MODS. But because what Im about to say has to do with some "real" Ibanez parts......maybe it will be over looked
A friend here at work bought one of those "unmentionables" on *-bay a few months back. Poor guy. I didnt know whether to point & laugh, or console him.
Anyway, I offered to try & set it up a little bit.....action, neck tension, intonation, etc.
First thing I noticed right away, was that the neck was sitting in the neck pocket crooked. I told him about it. He bought an RG neck with shark tooth inlay for it. Of course, being a legitamate
Ibanez neck, it didnt fit. It was a few milimeters wider, just enough to not let it fit without doing some shaving on it. Ordered a legit Floyd rear mount lock nut, pearl nut cover, shaved the neck, installed & mounted everything.............and its still a crooked hunk of junk. I just got tired of having it around my house & working on it, so I finally just restrung it and gave it back to him. Sad part is.........he still wants to invest yet more money into it now. Have the neck professionaly shaved & fitted, new pick ups, legit
Floyd Rose...........well....you get the picture.
The best part is........this same guy keeps telling us all here how different bands around the area that have label interest.....all want him!
