First and foremost thanks to the guys who responded to my S2620 thread a few weeks ago. I ended up buying the S2620 because the features were just so dang intriguing.

-PAF Pros
-"Vintage Silver" hardware
-Black painted jack "cup"
-No Truss Rod Cover
-Flame Maple top
-Light Amber Finish


It's GOT to be a Spot model...I'm thinking it was for the Ishibashi stores because I saw a single reference to someone on here saying they saw one in or on the Ishibashi storefront.

It's a bit different than my S5570 construction-wise because it's one of the models with a thicker body, 22 frets, and no single coil in the middle. The tone is radically different with the PAF Pros in a 22 frets. It's even more...sing-y than the S5570. Not sure if it's the thickness, pickups or age. That said, I think I prefer the thinner body. I'd originally intended on buying a hardtail S. My wife thought the S6521 looked like a zombie guitar so it was hard to justify that one...even though I loved it. I'm still thinking I might get an old SF470 for my hardtail one day.



Also, if anyone has a contact at Ibanez Japan or Ishibashi they wouldn't mind sharing so I can find out more about the guitar I'd be grateful.

Are my eyes playing tricks on me, or is the entire body outline marginally bigger than your S5570?

You are NOT! I'd heard they enlarged the body for a few years, never seen one until this showed up. I'd say it's about 1/8-1/16" thicker.

If I'm honest that part bums me out a little, but it still feels good and light. The neck is great too...Wizard one supposedly but it feels a little thicker than that...
