[@roosterj2599]

I used to borrow my friends Ibanez LP Custom just like your white one. Loved it.

[@GothicXlightning]

nice brother, really love those old vintage models made by brands such ibanez or Washburn etc really like this Custom Les paul versions they sound and play great also huge HAWK WING and FALCON fan here just love Guitars that resembles that cool mix hybrid between SG and Les paul cool SG behind you btw i own a Black custom SG freaking Metal as hell

[@harry9392]

That Ibenez is the dogs balls remember the one with the open book head stock I seen a vidieo saying it was a law suit guitar and sold it as is I have 3 law suit guitars an SG a LP by Columbus and a Suzuki j200 all from 1975 bought from new and I love them I was 17 when I bought them giving away my age Great vidio by the way

[@unabrazoatodoslosbuenos]

I had one exactly like that one. I bought it in Hong kong in 1979 for 195 u.s. dollars. I traded it off for a 1968 4x10 fender super reverb deluxe. It qas a great guitar, but the amp was incredible. I loved that guitar however.

[@LesgoldingphotographyCoUk]

I have the same guitar except mine has the Antoria brand name on the headstock but with the same Ibanez motif inlay. Bought mine in 1980 second hand from Rock City in the Big Market Newcastle. It was built in September 1977.

[@knickerbockers2010]

how much does such a guitar costs today ?

[@mattybroadrick1513]

Nice! Keep them coming

Glad you're here on KZbin 👌

[@MtPilot-mh3zl]

i got an Ibanez black beauty gold hardware. The best part is it has the les paul custom emblem on the headstock. A real lawsuit model !

[@thelongvirtuesignal8551]

Nice playing man

[@snuzebuster]

It has a mahogany body with a birch...yes...birch top. The neck is some kind of composite. If I remember correctly the fingerboard is "ebonized" rosewood. I have one, also a '77 custom, cream colored. Unfortunately I swapped out the pick ups before I knew what I was doing. The ones I have are good though. A Seymour Duncan '59...or something like that at the neck and a Bartolini with a coil tap switch at the bridge. I've abused mine incredibly and it has cracks in the finish, dings and burns, some I've covered up with stickers and decals. However the intonation on the thing is still good after all these years. It's just a great guitar.

[@snuzebuster]

@Fangalatic Not necessarily bad, but kind of unusual. Didn't I say I love the guitar? I guess I don't find it too bad that it has a birch top.

[@robjarvisthemercurysons9635]

Nice one dude ✌️️

[@jonlokemoen1065]

I have one of the 1977 as well, love it, i case stinks too!

PMTV would be nothing without you 😁

[@FrancescoMontuori]

Great sound

[@DaganWilkin]

Cheers!

[@jack0609]

I’ve got the same guitar it’s same brand but it’s a bit different it’s got 3 humbucker pickups uncovered and it doesn’t have that wee pattern on your head

[@Liquidmetal6661]

I see the strings are wound over the bridge! I know Joe Bonamassa does that for his Les Paul. Do you find that when you tune the guitar it tends to ping slightly? I've got a Jim Deacon Les paul copy which tends to ping up in pitch when i tune it.

[@DaganWilkin]

LIQUIDMETAL Hey man! I do it because it makes the strings a little more slinky, and apparent reduces breakage .. but I don't know about that! Try getting a new bridge mate, sounds like it's a little sharp.

[@Liquidmetal6661]

Ahh that might be it! The bindings on my strings seem to stretched over the bridge, that might be why

[@scottcarfrae8342]

Joe takes the ball ends off his old strings and puts them on the new strings, they become a spacer so the string winding's don't go over the stop tail and scratch the hell out of your hands check it out, kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJKxe2CNaZyanrs

[@MtPilot-mh3zl]

It is binding in the nut! Nutsauce will fix it or graphite scrapings from a lead pencil!

[@lilhuddysguitarshop6780]

Did you ever find out what it's made of? I just picked one up today. Has the same hollowish sound to the top... If you look in the control cavity the top is only connected on the body edges... really odd.

[@DaganWilkin]

Hi! I never found out.. But from Liz’s comment I know now!

[@thebarondisco7741]

Amazing how Dagan can get that fat flubby mid grindy tone with it actually sounding good.

[@OtargosApexTerror]

Hi dude! Thanx for this video. I have a question: the body of this Ibanez is chambered ?! (In fact I have the same model from 1978 with triple Pickups, and the body seems to be really chambered ) Thanx for your answer ;)

[@DaganWilkin]

Hey! Yeah the body is chambered, feels almost totally hollow, haha.

[@GetzGoth]

Can anyone reading this comment, if familiar with these 75-77 Ibanez LPs, tell me are they findable within 1000usd? When I was 14ish in 1984 my father bought me one which was a bright red with yellow knobs, gold hardware, bolt on neck. Had a raunchy brown case with yellow/gold plush interior. I pawned it in 91 or 92 much to my dismay in my later years. Now really wanting to find one of these for my own nostalgic needs. Would love to find one of same color but would be open to other offerings.

[@andymullarx6365]

I bought one of those new back then. It was $279.99 + tax USD.

[@johnhareiel5118]

You can put a Gibson sticker on the headstock and you'd be just like Steve Jones

[@Dialetheist]

What happened mate? More vids please!

Super 70 pickups?

[@DaganWilkin]

It’s the name of these Ibanez stock pickups,

thats actually a rare ibanez guitar !!

[@Navy-Seal-Ninja90]

i have a shiny black Set Neck 1976 ibanez 2650 . im considering selling it, would 1500 dollars be a fair price or is it too much? 🙂

[@kuruyad]

Clean and tighten those "fucking awful" tuning pegs and theyll be some of the best non-lockers around.... old "Gotoh Star" tuners sell for $100/set on the used market

[@joeldamerville3435]

Ngl, it's kinda weird seeing him sitting and playing.

[@leeder92]

Hollow body AND a bolt on neck,,,,, dont waste your money.

As pretty,as my PF230.

[@semilivesixstringstrumist5595]

Guitars only have to look good anymore. You can make them sound like anything you want. So why would anything matter except how it feels when you play it. It really is killing like vintage guitar sales and amp sales. Most new cheap guitars are built so good now they rival any vintage guitar that would vary so much that your chances of getting a lemon were huge! Not anymore. Every neck are the same now. So why would you buy a vintage crap shoot guitar? I have 100, 200, 300 hundred dollar guitars that are BETTER than 99% of any vintage old crappy electronics that varied so much you had to swap them out new! And of course the wood means nothing. Old wood means old wood. The only reason for vintage is Head-stock Shame! People are so ego riddled they can't be seen with a new or branded low priced name on the head-stock. I would rock a Harley Benton or Epi or anything anywhere anytime. Take like Gibson, They have been fucking over people for yrs! Why would you be proud of that? It shows how stupid you are to pay that much for a headstock that reflects your ignorance to over pay. No electric guitar on Earth made of wood is worth anymore than 3 to 5 hundred. The only guitar I have seen I would pay stupid amount for are Relish guitars! A piece of art! Like a fine Swiss watch they are. Even them I wouldn't have one anytime soon. lol

[@BarryMaskell]

Timber ages and as it does it’s sound improves hence older guitars that are not composite will sound better in decades to come
