Sometimes the serrated lock washer, if used... can cut through the foil, or paint, reducing the effectiveness of the contact... so a link of stretched TCW is a good call, or run all grounds to the Jack... easier with a simple single pup less wires... dont forget the bridge earth.

EDIT: Sometimes the serrated lock washer, if used... can cut through the foil... Meant the foil on the back of scratchplate, not copper foil lining of a cavity...

I used sesame oil on a fingerboard and it opened up very nicely  

Fixed it for ya...

At the time and my youthful music No...

Fats Domino, Everly Bros, Buddy Holly, Duane Eddy...

Nowadays when i hear em, it takes me straight back and i can appreciate whats in them. 

What sort of Twin P Configuration?

It's just for fun... or is it?  😉

In 2015 it was $600 v's $465 list for an SR300... B300 instead of B120 Bridge, and a Coffee Table Top.

Think i might out the 3 Band and try the Pups Passive VBT...

Autosol Dremmel Polish of the Frets and Lemon Oiled the Light-ish Rosewood Fretboard... Nice

Bees Wax and a Buff... Claro Walnut finish is described as Natural Gray Burst Flat... Subtle

Few dings and some wear and tear...

Just picked up an(other) Ibanez SR...

SR400B-CW... 2015 Reg, and my googling and perusing of the Ibanez US and EU Brochures, have drawn me to the conclusion that this was a US model... So not Rare as such, more Less Familiar...

Claro Walnut (CW) top on Mahogany body, SR4 Neck Maple and Rosewood, Rosewood Board.

Needs a good clean and hopefully i can restore some luster to the top and headstock.

Ikea near you?.. wood dowls in the fittings boxes...

Ah... the BTB IronLabel isn' a Fan-Fret...

Great... bish, bash BOSCH!

Fighting... I'm still waiting on the pics. 

@koby 74 - welcome to the forum

SR or BTB? I loves an SR... For me they are the ultimate body shape, necka and tidiest headstock... available at a multitude of price points and some of the wood finishes... wow.

Get some pics up...

Here, on the 'Black Bass' thread and The 'Ibanez Porn' Thread

Disco-Kaine - Spliff

Quite a Tubes vibe... German Session Lot.

Enough... but not saying it's my last, as it isn't an SR30TH4

Ibby SR... #5... I know, again...

But i does like em...

...clearly... you are a robot...

My Boy Lollipop...

Down With The Sickness - Disturbed...

Sickness has returned... Ooh Wah Ah Ah Ah..

Gonna get told off, so soon after the EDB700... but... but... but... Birthday?

They gonna swap or refund?

Souldn't be £37 short for 3mm long!

At least that explains things...

I'd check the measurements, string, box, website...

Possible an over-long rogue set?

Is there a difference in length to the old set, or just how they are (or not) tuning up? - Gauge Change?

...nah... i think i'll leave it... i was in two minds about replying as it was...

I'd go wood... softer than the body and neck... more of a compression deform 'Gasket' rather than a harder wood or plastic that would be more 'Spacer'... Also don't like or see the need for the plastic shield on a neck plate.
