[nuno]

guys, here's an exclusive interview with Rob Balducci where he talks about Ibanez, his guitars and so on! check it out HERE!

and you can also find other interviews with Ibanez endorsees like Jemsite regular Magnus Olsson, Doug Doppler, Larry Mitchell and to the formerly Ibanez design guru Rich Lasner, who also designed the JEM, the RG, the S, the Maxxas, the Power, the Power-II, the Soundgear and so on...
i'm trying to get Dave Weiner too for an interview, but seems like he's too busy now, i guess. enjoy!

Steve, so are you Steve sandy, the guy who makes the Hand Rest reissue? if so, wow, congrats man, and keep up the great work! you really should start kind of a serial production and sell them.

ps: any chance for you to build a Backstop reissue?
pps: please, take some BIG and nice pics of your Hand Rest!

Nuno - yes, that's me.
Rob's got two of them from me; one on the Bal-7, and the other on the green 6-string custom.
The Backstop would be quite a project... without simply recreating what's already been made.
As for pictures - I can provide some nice shots. I think one of the most unusual I have is of the gold-coloured one that I had on my Jem7VWH (before having traded that instrument for a UV777BK) - still have that handrest, though... =]

I can gather up some shots: I keep lots of photo records, including shots of the ones I've sent to Rob during test-fitting on my guitars.
Feel free to contact me.
