Thought I would share my first project guitar with you guys.
I joined this site not long after picking up this guitar on that auction site. If I had of known then what I know now I would have avoided this guitar and just purchased a guitar body of ET Guitars down here in Australia as I am only an hour or so away by car.
Great job fixing up that crazy hole man! I don't think I ever would of tried taking that on. You really turned this thing into a beauty Nice swirl too!
Set up as good as I could get her with brass shims now under the locking nut. I also managed to get the cheap eBay 42mm locking nut and original Ibanez Chrome string tree black chromed which is close enough to cosmo black to match the rest of the hardware.
It's pretty much taken me 2 years to finish this project.
Yeah, yeah it was. I already have my next project organised, I have a body and neck ready to go but I'm gonna wait a year or so before I embark on that journey.
The only problem with the S bodies is the necks aren't as readily available as they are for RG bodies. I had to watch eBay US for about 2-3 months waiting for the right neck to come along - and then when I had my intonation problem I was worried I still had the wrong neck.
My next project is an RG body and I got a neck from some guy on eBay in Indonesia. The neck is a proper Ibanez neck and is brand new - it dosen't even have the 4 screw holes in it yet. I keep joking with my mates the guy that sold it must work for Ibanez there and is stealing them from work.

ive seen those on the bay - always been just a little bit dubious myself - they just seem a bit too good to be true, and a lot of scams tend to be run from various asian countries (no offence to anyone one here!).
I just came back from a long break from all of my forums, which began a little bit after you posted on SS.org about filling in that jack hole. I came back today to see this all around the forums, and I am thoroughly impressed by this. Beautiful.
