is backstop still available from ibanez

[pattrahan]

I gang, I'm new here and I know this topic as been covered quite a few times but I couldn't find what I'm looking for. Pretty simply said:

1. Is the backstop still available?

2. If not, why?

Thank you

1. No
2. Cause they stopped selling it . But seriously, don't know why they would stop the production. Seems like nobody really wanted to buy it. But there are some clones out there (or maybe the Ibanez backstop was a clone ). Try searching for tremsetter on Google. It's basically the same thing.

i think it's because the most ppl used to pull it out of the cavity (or set it "off") since it gets the trem stiffer and since it's a bit tricky to be set.

so, in order to have themselves and the buyers saving some money, they stopped producing and selling it.
easier even for the final-setup guys at Ibanez...
