My new 550 Custom

I finally got this back, and I love it! I don't understand why Ibanez wasn't putting stuff like this out.

Re: My new 550 Custom

Thats gorgeous, but something about it is off - it's like someone flipped the body around or something. But not the headstock. I mean most people get reverse headstocks, but reverse bodies? Unusual, but it looks nice. Have fun reaching the higher frets . . .

Re: My new 550 Custom

I take it both the yellow and the white are refinishes?

Re: My new 550 Custom

Yeah, if Ibanez won't make what I want I'll get it done myself!

I'm waiting on a lefty 540pii body to be made by one of my friends on another forum. The neck/pickups/edge off the black 560 is going on that one.

Yeah, been there, done that..Now that I have my 3120L which is by far the best lefthanded guitar Ibanez ever made, I think I don't need to Frankenstein any more 550L's. aside from a refret and a change of pickups (evo + mahogany = yuk) I don't need to do anything to it.

Re: My new 550 Custom

So now the question remains....

1. Keep the stock look
2. Get black/white zebra humbuckers
3. Do the humbuckers and 1 white knob and 1 white switch tip

decisions, decisions

Looks like he strung it backwards too...

Seriously though, looks pretty cool.
